<p>Hi Harold... I was just cleaning up my email backlog and realized that maybe you have ideas about something I have been thinking about. I have just read Sutherland's SCRUM which is a fun read in the course of thinking about organizations that are flatter/non or less hierarchical. Many of the ones that stand out in the popular mind as innovative, transparent, and non- hierarchical are that way because the founder had those values and a vision they implemented from the start. Ex: Zappos, Eileen Fischer etc</p>
<p>I have been looking for examples of organizations that began as very structured etc and have moved toward or from that position to more egalitarian, transparent etc. When I read about SCRUM I keep thinking of the need to protect it from the forces that would kill it in more traditional organizations. In it's heyday, DEC was a revolutionary organization inside but not built to take what was happening outside it seriously enough....another an different problem...</p>
<p>Anyway, if you have thoughts, I would be interested. Hope all is welll with you. We are about to get another foot or two of snow on top of the foot we already have so I am at home down on the farm staying warm and staying put///all the roads are closed anyway. Warm regards. B3</p>

I think I'll figure out one of those before to broadcast Harrison's opening comments. Would love to connect with others who might be interested in helping us amplify the impact of these conversations in our community.<br /><br /> Getting more and more excited - can't wait!<br /><br />
