@mapkeep Me explaining the difference between real and perceived wait times.

As @mapkeep is shutting down, here are my maps that I can make public:

Social capital (about 80%), could be much better.

[Wardley Maps @wardleymaps]

@mapkeep New ways of working - rejected work - very hard to sell POV that way of working depends on business decisions more than on HR.

[Wardley Maps @wardleymaps]

@hannojarvet @mapkeep mapping world of course :D

but it looks like a freudian slip.

[Wardley Maps @wardleymaps]

@mapkeep is shutting down :(. It's an end of an era in the napping world.

[Wardley Maps @wardleymaps]

btw. closing open decision loops is most liberating feeling ever. More at @kda

I am on the verge of rejecting my next mapping talk.

Teaching mapping is fun, but bills need to be paid.

[Wardley Maps @wardleymaps]

Yeah, I did that. I also shut down all of the free mapping teaching.

This stuff was increadibly draining as I was hoping it will become sustainable for far too long.

At least, I have got some clarity and free cycles to think about other things.

[Wardley Maps @wardleymaps]

@joa_pen @swardley @u3m Fair point, but you are also a seasoned mapper who had plenty of time to make up his mind.

Newcomers see @swardley's statement sooner or later.

[Wardley Maps @wardleymaps]

the official mapping purpose "to get rid off consultants" does not sit with me.

Here, I said it.

[Wardley Maps @wardleymaps]

@joa_pen @swardley @u3m ...means there is no imperative to learn maps in a number of situations, like you being a consultant, or you collaborating with good consultants.

which is hard to accept, because consultants are using maping to do some good :).

[Wardley Maps @wardleymaps]

@joa_pen @swardley @u3m Your statement is fine :).

I am saying something slightly different - current imperative wording says that mapping is for you if you feel enslaved by consultants.

With Simon's additional explanation, there is no need to rebel if you do not feel enslaved.

Which also...

[Wardley Maps @wardleymaps]

@swardley @u3m I need confirmation if my understanding is correct.

are you saying that mapping has no imperative for people who do not feel enslaved by consultants (f.e. see value in consultant's work or are consultants themselves) ?

[Wardley Maps @wardleymaps]

@swardley which is a big hypothesis of course - as there could have been many more such things.

[Wardley Maps @wardleymaps]

@swardley Nomadic cultures relied less on labour - their property customs were very different. Yet, the're a minority right now. Which means that somehow property-based approach was better suited for (at least short-term) evolutionary success.

@swardley Elysium is a likely outcome, though. Possibly terrible outcome for humanity... but individuals will not see it as such, due to some things being seen as 'impossible'. And Matt Damon will not save us.

[Wardley Maps @wardleymaps]

@swardley ... are basically the foundation on which a lot of other things have been built. Even CC-BY-SA is a continuation of the 'right to harvest' :D.
