Remarks on business cases for metapattern/KnitbITs

 

Information Dynamics

 

 

 

 

 

General analysis

 

• Pervasive change driver: communication technology.
• Potential: instant access to distributed information resources.
• Challenge: management of information variety.*

 

Differential information provides rigorous relevance: precision is a prerequisite for action quality. “Information is a difference that makes a difference” (Bateson).

 

Resolved paradox: with variety managed at the scale of interconnection, information reuse is also optimized.

 

Strategic focus: both making a better business and conducting business better.

 

Business case? Under conditions of interconnection, tools for information variety management are a necessity.

 

 

* Forget about globally valid definitions. Naïve semantics/ontology doesn’t work! Recognize essential differences.
