Continuous Paradigm Shifts
Mental Models and Collaboration - Digital Collaborative Modeling of Change
Model (abstract)
Modeling, especially scientific modeling refers to the process of generating a model as a conceptual representation of some phenomenon as discussed above. Typically a model will refer only to some aspects of the phenomenon in question, and two models of the same phenomenon may be essentially different, that is in which the difference is more than just a simple renaming. This may be due to differing requirements of the model's end users or to conceptual or esthetic differences by the modellers and decisions made during the modeling process. Esthetic considerations that may influence the structure of a model might be the modeller's preference for a reduced ontology, preferences regarding probabilistic models vis-a-vis deterministic ones, discrete vs continuous time etc. For this reason users of a model need to understand the model's original purpose and the assumptions of its validity. Having found a model for some desired aspect of reality, it can serve as the basis for simulation, the only way for non-invasive examination of physical reality besides real-world experiments.

Today's Assignment: Disrupting Google
When I see quotes like the following from senior scientists at Google I am reminded why it is inevitable that one day the company will be caught unawares by someone much smaller and nimbler:
"Every time, they have maybe one small lever that they suspect is huge. They don’t realise that [all] they have [is] a better door latch on a [Boeing] 747. Now all they have to do is build a 747. None of those ideas I’ve seen are compelling."
It is often said that the rival that will overthrow Google is only a click away. [Google's Louis] Monier is sceptical. "It’s very difficult to innovate on the scale that we do," he said. "You need a really radical idea, and need to execute it well."Right, thanks for the reminder Louis. What rivals need to do is stop trying to build 747s and recognize that Google is the Boeing of search. It is big, it is fond of opportunities that require infrastructure and engineering scale, and it is increasingly unattuned to other ways of doing things. There remain, however, plenty of ways to travel, most of which that don't require you to be a world expert at building jumbo jets.
