I think two things.
1. That there is valuable work that comes from
within and is not subject to the typical hired hand hourly pay scale that
neo-liberal economics relies on. This work is project oriented and
requires that it have a beginning, development, fulfillment and renewal process
order. A work that comes from this area that is simply finished by
the clock is usually mediocre and trash. This work includes arts and
culture, medicine, education and the serious practice of the law.
2. That there is valuable work that is humdrum and
paid by the hour that exists within the efficiency model of a lump of
labor formula. Such work has a wide parameter in its
quality and can be executed in great numbers within that parameter without
losing its basic value.
In Science, the O rings on the Challenger
Spacecraft or the Hubbell mirror would be the first while a piece of furniture,
a video tape or even an automobile would be the latter. A piano for
a musician would be different than a piano for a non-musician and an operation
by a surgeon would have the same issues based upon the age and fitness
requirements of the patient.
Agile projects are used as a kind of cross over
from factories to number one. That is done to save money but I
believe will be ultimately be a failure because of the difference in
intent. Pattern number 2 is not a useful process for movies for example
because movies require such a high degree of expertise from their personnel that
the lump of labor process is not applicable.
Got to go to rehearsal,
What do you think?
