Patti Anklam , Consultant at Net Work, Harvard MA Hi, Jon,
Thanks for the comment. The truth is I hadn't actually thought about hierarchy in networks except as it applies in organizational networks (esp. corporate). Perhaps I need to get a quick tutorial on transactional analysis to better understand your question.

/patti 2 years ago

Wirearchy I like it ... clear, concise and comprehensive.

I (for whatever reason) hoped to learn a bit more about your take on 'hierarchy' as it relates to one's personal networks (I would, wouldn't I ? ;-)

My sense is that living and working in personal networks will take us 'back' to a world of communications that Transactional Analysis once described.

Hierarchy is Parent-to-Child, and vice versa, whereas the networked world (a la 'wirearchy') will move us into peer-to-peer negotiations about roles, responsibilities, accountability, etc. or in TA terms ... adult-to-adult (in the workplace, eventually).

What do you think ?
