Speaking For All Mankind

A future project of mine is to create an artificial organization to study organizational change.  I want to build agents that have mental models so that I can simulate through the exchange of mental models and change visions.  I am studying Processing and NetLogo as two possible languages.  The idea is to model the spread of a change vision in a simulated environment and then compare this to real-world cases.

Been a great nine months off from blogging.  I received my PhD in Public Administration and Policy during the summer, visited Alaska, and am working on further research into mental models and organizational change.  For two years, I ran two blogs as Eclectic Bill and at Design of Knowledge.  At Eclectic Bill, I wrote mostly about project management, change management, and strategic management while at Design of Knowledge I concentrated on training and education.

These topics still interest me but I will cover them from a public administration perspective.  Government is undergoing massive changes from the new technologies and the increasing demands of a more complex and global society.  There is some amazing things happening and it is the mission of this blog to chronicle those changes.  Thanks for reading.
