Is the idea of thinking about people’s values, identity, behavior, engagement, relationships … as a ‘stack’ reasonable or misguided?
Humanity
Newsletter Three from People First just launched. The theme for this week's edition is 'Humanity’ including me spotting this in a clothing store recently. I didn’t buy it - but I sure was tempted, as I ready myself for October’s IIW. (more)
Language - One Of The Eight Pillars
It's funny how things work out sometimes. Since the beginning, 'language' has been a core pillar of People First. I've written about it from time to time, but was not intending to get into the meat for a while. Then - after last week's newsletter, I received an email that resonated in so many ways, that this week's newsletter morphed into riff on .... Language.
And then this morning, I was just browsing through some of my draft posts deciding what to publish next - and up pops this from Hugh Macleod and Gaping Void.
In other words, successful CEOS tend to 'get' the culture idea that language is the foundation of culture.
Hugh Macleod
Talk about the universe working in mysterious ways. Needless to say, we agree.
Now we just need to ensure that the corporates don’t takeover the language of culture as they have changed our day to day language, with their militaristic business jargon.
The Anti-CEO Playbook
I am not usually slow in attacking the nature of business, but not sure the 'Anti-CEO' playbook is exactly the right angle here. That said Hamid Ulukaya's points are excellent. How he built Chobani is a fascinating story. And at one point I was very much reminded me of a couple of People First tenets.

You Build Bridges From Both Sides
I am often asked what People First is about and how it differs to everything else that goes on in the identity/data/self-sovereign/blockchain ... blah blah blah space? I was asked again this morning. I replied, but as so often happens, the essence of the message was not specifically 'private' - and so this post emerged.
If you check out The DigLife Collective, The Me2B Alliance, The
In my email exchange, I was taken by one phrase;
"It really has to do with bridging that chasm between technology makers and people."
That idea is often referenced, with variations of actual words used. The meaning is constant. The visual is instant. Or is it?
It dawned on me ...
When engineers build bridges, they always
My ah-ha moment ... was understanding that the technology makers recognize the need to cross the chasm - but all seem to be building from the 'Tech Side'. People First is building the bridge from the 'People Side'.
Does anyone know of any other organization that is building the bridge from the 'People Side'? I sure would like to talk with them.
Supply and Demand
We have been trained to think that;
- The ‘supply chain’ is where businesses buy what they need to produce the products and services they sell to other businesses and people.
- The ‘market place’ is where businesses sell their wares to other businesses and people.
But we've been thinking about it all wrong (more)

An Introduction
Cogs In The Machine
In Brief
People make their money through ‘business’.
People save or spend their money with a ‘business’.
People are thus central to any business.
So why does it seem that People are an afterthought
People First is focussed on a new way for People and Business to engage
