-2- EVR3Pathfinder EVRs – The Social Life Of Information Introduction –Tunnel vision leads to Tunnel Design. –Tunnel vision neglects the peripheries of the societies, the communities, the organizations –Badly designed technologies bite back, the good designed fight back.

-3- EVR3Pathfinder EVRs – The Social Life Of Information Limits to Information –The lack of information  society’s fundamental problems –The infoenthusiasts’s thought  simple volume of information  the man with the proverbial hammer, to whom everything looks like a nail  Datafication –The faith on the information  “embrace dumb power” instead of thinking hard (e.g. “Moore’s Law”) Information Problem

-5- EVR3Pathfinder EVRs – The Social Life Of Information Practices makes Process –Boom up reengineering in response to “the crises that will not go away” –But, the reengineering turned out to be “pernicious panacea.” –Why ? Difficulty to deal with practice Need to understand practice when you redesign process effectively –The author presents the three approaches for the practice in the process collaboration, narration and improvisation

-7- EVR3Pathfinder EVRs – The Social Life Of Information Conclusion And Reflection –If we identify and codify the given requirements according to the information we already know, then we may get into the tunnel design situation. –Referring to the others’ design (e.g. Benchmarking): People thought may be caught in the existing design  Don’t think more creative idea than the information.
