management

This was just a series of tweets. I could embellish on this sketch, but I prefer not to. Consider it a “use case” metaphor for enterprise microsharing…

• You lead a large tribe that’s encamped over a wide area. Each morning from the hill you check that each dwelling has a stream of cooking fire smoke.

• It’s status. It saves you visiting each spot each morning. Less walking around management. Simpler “spot-checks” that all’s well.

• One plume is just a trickle and you learn they need more fuel. Another is too dark, they’re doing it wrong. Most are fine, one is absent.

• You adjust what looks out of sorts and move on swiftly with your day. THAT is enterprise microsharing.
