Context is Fluid

Posted by JimBenson On July - 23 - 2009

Context is Fluid Context is central to how we understand our lives. Social, political, geographic, cultural, artistic, business, … ever way we relate has its own contexts and those contexts are interwoven.

Context is never as simple as we make it out to be.

It moves, it shifts, it changes shape.

Why, then, do we think that products or services we create will be used in a few limited contexts? Why does business use rigid business plans, use cases, and typical customers? Your customers will more often tell you how they use their product.  And their answers may surprise you, but to them the uses are perfectly in context.

About Me

My career path has taken me through government agencies, Fortune 10 corporations, and start-ups. Through them all my passion remained consistent - applying new technologies to work groups - in each case asking how we can leverage them to collaborate and cooperate more effectively. I love ideas, creation, and building opportunities. I love working with teams who are passionate about the future. I love pushing the boundaries. I love inclusion. My goal with all technologies is to increase beneficial contact between people and reduce the bureaucratic noise which so often tends to increase costs and destroy creativity.
