Welcome to the Non-Linear Enterprise blog. While its charter is being developed, here are at least three aims that motivate the start of this journey.

The first is to satisfy my thirst for knowledge and that of those who come upon it, for whom I hope to make this a useful and regular virtual thinking lounge. A strong focus of the blog will be on the principles and methods that might help address the non-linear nature of the corporate world we live and work in. I will shortly be writing a few posts to define what I mean by a non-linear enterprise.

The second is to explore opportunities to increase the adoption of Agile methods. The approach here will be to try to address the scalability issues that understandably hold back many senior managers and executives from endorsing and adopting them.

The third is to provide a supportive environment for those who would like to get better at sharing new ideas. I am keen to bring my own ideas to the largest possible audience that can use them. Perhaps many of you can relate to this, e.g. either with frustration at not having taken the necessary steps after any of your many a-ha moments, or with experience after building successful start-ups from your (and others’) ideas.

Since I don’t have all the answers, none of this will be possible on my own. Your input and feedback will make all the difference.
