James Burnham et la société des managers : la rationalisation technocratique du pouvoir

🔎 James Burnham a analysé l’émergence d’une nouvelle élite : les managers. Selon lui, la rationalisation technocratique du pouvoir transforme profondément nos sociétés, reléguant capitalistes et ouvriers au second plan.

Actually, the #Deming story is very much more!

Turns out Reagan gave him an award late in life... 😉

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._Edwar

Basically, he helped the #US win #WWII, then helped #Japan get back on its feet. After the war he was largely ignored by US industrial giants. That's one reason many of us are driving Japanese cars today!

Japan actually created the "Deming Prize" in his honor.

"During World War II, Deming was a member of the five-man Emergency Technical Committee. ...[he] taught SPC [statistical process control] techniques to [US] workers engaged in wartime production. Statistical methods were widely applied during World War II, but faded into disuse a few years later in the face of huge overseas demand for American mass-produced products."

"While working under Gen. Douglas MacArthur as a census consultant to the Japanese government, he was asked to teach a short seminar on statistical process control (SPC) methods to members of the Radio Corps, at the invitation of Homer Sarasohn. During this visit, he was contacted by the Union of Japanese Scientists and Engineers (JUSE) to talk directly to Japanese business leaders, not about SPC, but about his theories of management, returning to #Japan for many years to consult."

Read this outline of his Key Principals to get the flavor of his work...

He's basically the father of modern #data-driven, #human-centered #management and a personal hero of mine. 👏

Das Resultat von (zu) agilem „trial-and-error“ Vorgehen? Nicht in jedem Fall ist eine forcierte #Fehlerkultur der richtige Ansatz. Mein Vertrauen in die Sicherheit von Fahrzeugen oder in andere gesundheitsgefährdende Angebote schwindet jedenfalls täglich.

Das Wasserfallmodell hat keineswegs ausgedient. Das #Management sollte den Unterschied zwischen #Agil und #Wasserfall besser verstehen und nicht einfach nur das Neuste (weil Hype) über das ganze Unternehmen stülpen.

Sarah O'Connor (FT) poses the interesting Q.: what happens in the professions (and white collar work more widely) when valued (semi) autonomy over workflow & practices is compromised by surveillance & new technologies (such as AI)?

If part of productivity improvement comes from workers, then a reduction in autonomy decreases their ability to innovate more efficient methods... and again contributes to why services have seen weak (or even no) productivity improvements.

Tell me about it...

"The real breaking point is fairly simple: the higher up you go at a company, the further you are from problems or purpose. Everything is abstract — the people that work for you, the people you work for, and even the tasks you do.

We train people — from a young age! — to generalize and distance oneself from actual tasks, to aspire to doing managerial work, because managers are well-paid and "know what's going on," even if they haven't actually known what was going on for years, if they ever did so. This phenomenon has led to the stigmatization of blue-collar work (and the subsequent evisceration of practical trade and technical education across most of the developed world) in favor of universities. Society respects an MBA more than a plumber, even though the latter benefits society more — though I concede that both roles involve, on some level, shit, with the plumber unblocking it and the MBA spewing it.

Sidebar: Hey, have you noticed how most of the calls for people to return to the office come not from people who actually do the jobs, but occupy managerial roles? More on that later.

I believe this process has created a symbolic society — one where people are elevated not by any actual ability to do something or knowledge they may have, but by their ability to make the right noises and look the right way to get ahead. The power structures of modern society are run by business idiots — people that have learned enough to impress the people above them, because the business idiots have had power for decades. They have bred out true meritocracy or achievement or value-creation in favor of symbolic growth and superficial intelligence, because real work is hard, and there are so many of them in power they've all found a way to work together.

I need you to understand how widespread this problem is, because it is why everything feels fucking wrong."

the #FCC required Verizon to end its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies as a condition for approving its $20 billion merger with Frontier. The FCC explicitly cited #Verizon’s commitment to terminate DEI-related practices as part of its rationale for granting approval. Verizon agreed to remove DEI references from #training, #public materials, hiring, #management compensation, and #supplier diversity, and to dismantle its internal DEI team.

Tscherning, a large Danish construction company, electrified its corporate fleet using Tesla vehicles. But it announced this week that it returned them all: in light of Elon Musk’s political commitment and the opinions he has publicly expressed (and which are increasingly hard to overlook), we as a company have chosen to say “thank you for the ride.”

Thank you all for your efforts in the last year, we could not have made these achievements without you. I know it was a difficult year, We got through it together, at least those who are still here.

And if you want to talk to me about anything, anything at all, you have my email.

A polite hand clapping dusted the room.

F*** you, we heard from the door. You are a destroyer of everything that works. Go to hell now. You'll end up there anyway, why not take a shortcut,, You know how to take shortcuts, don't you?

"A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
"A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.
"You have to start over with a working, simple system."
