Our Evil Plan

Over at Gaping Void Hugh has created a great post on Evil Plans, describing as follows:

The defi­ni­tion of an “EVIL PLAN” is, quite simply, a great idea that the world isn’t quite ready for yet, or at least, doesn’t think it is.

As we count down (16 days to go) to our launch, this post really resonated.  A lot of having an "EVIL PLAN" is really about having a vision for the change you want to see in the world. In our case, we don't want to hold anyone ransom for "1 Million Dollars".

We would however like to change the way in which people's knowledge and expertise is recognised inside organisations. Automatically identifying peoples skills and expertise based on what they do isn't the worlds grandest "EVIL PLAN", but it is our little bit of creating meaning.  To quote Hugh again:

9. I think human beings inhe­rently want to do “Something That Mat­ters”. I think it’s in our DNA. I think the peo­ple who say they don’t want do something that mat­ters are liars. I also think having an EVIL PLAN cons­tantly in the back of our minds– quit­ting our day job and ope­ning a bar, wri­ting the Great Ame­ri­can Novel, wha­te­ver– is also in our DNA. EVIL PLANS is a medi­ta­tion about finally waking the hell up and going off to do something meaningful.

I really recommend you read the full post, for those seeking to create meaning, a little bit of evil goes a long way.

We are really excited about sharing the our "EVIL PLANS" with you in more detail over the coming weeks.
