Slow knowledge work - designing space and learning
August 9, 2010
Holtham, C., Ward, V. and Owens, A., paper presented at the EGOS conference, Lisbon, July 2010. Victoria and Clive Holtham have been researching slowness in organizations as one of their joint enquiries since around 2002. The idea was born in a very particular moment on a train journey back from Bootle following a day with the then CEO of the nuclear health and safety directorate. The train was stuck and Victoria was fretting about her flailing and failing in trying to fill in the application form to be one of Fast Company's lively new upstart businesses. The trouble is, she said, we're all about slow, not about fast and that makes the form entirely impossible.
