This week has been a heck of a ride. The Pro-Am Revolution report I co-authored with Charlie Leadbeater went a bit out of control in the media - a few reflections on this coming soon. But Cosmo Landesman has written a nice piece in the Sunday Times Review to cap off the week.

I had a new Demos report published last week (co-written with Paul Skidmore) called Disorganisation: why future organisations must 'loosen up'. Okay so we probably asked for it, but the number of people who've said they'll now think of me as an expert in disorganisation is slightly unsettling. Anyway, have a read and let me know what you think. Would you rather work for a 'disorganisation' than a 'hyper-organisation'? Consensus at the launch event certainly seemed closer to the former.

Sorry for the long radio silence - I've been a bit busy to say the least. The blog has also had an upgrade (to Moveable Type) which isn't quite complete yet.

I wrote an article for the Guardian a while back about how far you could take the open source model. I thought it was only fair to turn it into a wiki page and make it open source itself.

Tom Bentley and I have written the cover story of tomorrow's FT Magazine about the fall and fall of mainstream political parties. Our argument is that if they don't radically rethink the way they organise themselves, they could well bite the dust. It's a theme Demos will be talking about more at Labour Party conference.
