New levels of collaboration have emerged from an increasingly networked world, and business leaders and academic researchers alike are now sorting out what the new capabilities mean for both commerce and society at large.
To learn more about how rapid trends in collaboration and business networking are driving new innovation and social interactions, BriefingsDirect invited a Harvard Kennedy School researcher and a chief strategist at global business network provider Ariba to a panel discussion.
We joined up Zach Tumin, Senior Researcher at the Science, Technology, and Public Policy Program at the Harvard Kennedy School, and Tim Minahan, Senior Vice-President of Global Network Strategy and Chief Marketing Officer at Ariba, an SAP company.
Tumin is co-author with William Bratton of 2012's Collaborate or Perish: Reaching Across Boundaries in a Networked World, published by Random House. Minahan, at Ariba, is exploring how digital communities are redefining and extending new types of business and collaboration for advanced commerce.
The chat is moderated by Dana Gardner, Principal Analyst at Interarbor Solutions. [Disclosure: Ariba is a sponsor of BriefingsDirect podcasts.]
Here are some excerpts:
Gardner: Zach, in your book "Collaborate or Perish," you're exploring collaboration and you show what it can do when it's fully leveraged. And, Tim, at Ariba you've been showing how a more networked economy is producing efficiencies for business and even extending the balance of what we would consider commerce to be. I'd like to start with looking at how these come together.
Tumin: The opportunities for collaboration are expanding even as we speak. The networks around the world are volatile. They're moving fast. The speed of change is coming at managers and executives at a terrific pace. There is an incredible variety of choice, and people are empowered with these great digital devices that we all have in our pockets.
That creates a new world, where the possibilities are tremendous for joining forces, whether politically, economically, or socially. Yet it's also a difficult world, where we don't have authority, if we have to go outside of our organizations -- but where we don't have all the power that we need, if we stay within the boundaries of our charters.
So, we're always reaching across boundaries to find people who we can partner with. The key is how we do that. How do we move people to act with us, where we don't have the authority over them? How do we make it pay for people to collaborate?
A lot of change
Minahan: Collaboration certainly is the new business imperative. Companies have leaned out their operations over the past couple of years and they spent the previous 30 years focusing on their internal operations and efficiencies and driving greater performance, and getting greater insights.
When they look outside their enterprise today, it's still a mess. Most of the transactions still occur offline or through semi-automated processes. They lack transparency into those processes and efficiency in executing them. As a result, that means lots of paper and lots of people and lots of missed opportunities, whether it's in capitalizing on getting a new product to market or achieving new sales with new potential customers.
What business networks and this new level of collaboration bring is four things. It brings the transparency that's currently lacking into the process. So you know where your opportunities are. You know where your orders are. You know where your invoices are and what your exposure to payables are.
It brings new levels of efficiencies executing against those processes, much faster than you ever could before through mostly automated process.
It brings new levels of efficiencies executing against those processes, much faster than you ever could before through mostly automated process. It brings new types of collaboration which I am sure we will get into later in this segment.
The last part, which I think is most intriguing, is that it brings new levels of insights. We're no longer making decisions blindly. We no longer need to double order, because we don't know if that shipment is coming in and we need to stockpile, because we can't let the refinery go down. So it brings new levels of insight to make more informed decisions in real time.
Gardner: Zach, in your book you're basically describing a new workforce, and some companies and organizations are recognizing that and embracing it. What's driving this? What has happened that is basically redefining the workforce?
It's the demographics
Tumin: It's in the demographics, Dana. Young people are accustomed to doing things today that were not possible 10 years ago. The digital power in everyone's pocket or pocket book, the digital wallet in markets, are ready, willing, and able to deal with them and to welcome them. That means that there's pressure on organizations to integrate and take advantage of the power that individuals have in the marketplace and that come in to their workforce.
Everyone can see what's going on around the world. We're moving to a situation where young people are feeling pretty powerful. They're able to search, find, discover, and become experts all on their own through the use of technologies that 10 years ago weren't available.
So a lot of the traditional ways of thinking about power, status, and prestige in the workforce are changing as a result, and the organizations that can adapt and adopt these kinds of technologies and turn them to their advantage are the ones that are going to prevail.
Gardner: Tim, with that said, there's this demographic shift, the shift in the mentality of self-started discovery of recognizing that the information you want is out there, and it's simply a matter of applying your need to the right data and then executing on some action as a result. Your network seems ready-made for that.
The reality of the community is that it is organic. It takes time to grow.
Minahan: The reality of the community is that it is organic. It takes time to grow. At Ariba we have more than 15 years of transactional history, relationship history, and community generated content that we've amassed. In fact, over the past 12 months those, nearly a million connected companies have executed more than $400 billion in purchase, sales, invoice, and payment transactions over the Ariba network.
Aggregate that over 15 years, and you have some great insights beyond just trading efficiencies for those companies participating there. You can deliver insights to them so that they can make more informed decisions, whether that's in selecting a new trading partner or determining when or how to pay.
Should I take an early-payment discount in order to accelerate or reduce my cost basis? From a sales standpoint, or seller's standpoint, should I offer an early payment discount in order to accelerate my cash flow? There are actually a host of examples where companies are taking advantage of this today and it's not just for the large companies. Let me give you two examples.
From the buyer side, there was a company called Plaid Enterprises. Plaid is a company that, if you have daughters like I do who are interested in hobbies and creating crafts, you are very familiar with. They're one of the leading providers for the do-it-yourself crafts that you would get at your craft store.
Like many other manufacturers, they were a mid sized company, but they decided a couple of years ago to offshore their supplies. So they went to the low cost region of China. A few years into it, they realized that labor wages were rising, their quality was declining, and worse than that, it was sometimes taking them five months to get their shipment.
New sources of supply
So they went to the Ariba Network to find new sources of supply. Like many other manufacturers, they thought, "Let's look in other low cost regions like Vietnam." They certainly found suppliers there, but what they also found were suppliers here in North America.
They went through a bidding process with the suppliers they found there, with the qualifying information on who was doing business with whom and how they performed in the past, and they wound up selecting a supplier that was 30 miles down the road. They wound up getting a 40 percent cost reduction from what they had previously paid in China and their lead times were cut from more than 120 days down to 30.
That's from the buy side. From the sell side, the inverse is true. I'll use an example of a company called Mediafly. It's a fast growing company that provides mobile marketing services to some of the largest companies in the world, large entertainment companies, large consumer products companies.
They were asked to join the Ariba Network to automate their invoicing and they have gotten some great efficiencies from that. They've gotten transparencies to know when their invoice is paid, but one other thing was really interesting.
Once they were in the networked environment and once they had automated those processes, they were now able to do what we call dynamic discounting. That meant when they want their cash, they can make offers to their customers that they're connected to on the Ariba Network and be able to accelerate their cash.
You have extraordinary volatility on your network and that can rumble all the way through.
So they were able not only to shrink their quote-to-settle cycle by 84 percent, but they gained access to new financing and capital through the Ariba network. So they could go out and hire that new developer to take on that new project and they were even able to defer a next round of funding, because they have greater control over their cash flow.
Gardner: Zach, in listening to Tim, particularly that discovery process, we're really going back to some principles that define being human -- collaboration, word of mouth, sharing information about what you know. It just seems that we have a much greater scale that we can deploy this. How is that fundamentally changing how people are relating in business and society?
Tumin: The scaling means that things can get big in a hurry and they can get fast in a hurry. So you get a lot of volume, things go viral, and you have a velocity of change here. New technologies are introducing themselves to the market. You have extraordinary volatility on your network and that can rumble all the way through, so that you feel it seconds after something halfway around the world has put a glitch in your supply chain. You have enormous variability. You're dealing with many different languages, both computer languages and human languages.
That means that the potential for collaboration really requires coming together in ways that helps people see very quickly why it is that they should work together, rather than go it alone. They may not have a choice, but people are still status quo animals. We're comfortable in the way that we have always done business, and it takes a lot to move us out.
It comes down to people
When crisis hits, it's not exactly a great time to build those relationships. Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill here in United States once said "Make friends before you need them." That's a good advice. We have great technology and we have great networks, but at the end of day, it's people that make them work.
People rely on trust, and trust relies on relationships. Technology here is a great enabler but it's no super bullet. It takes leadership to get people together across these networks and to then be able to scale and take advantage of what all these networks have to offer.
Gardner: Tim, another big trend today of course, is the ability to use all of this data that Zach has been describing, and you are alluding to, about what's going on within these networks. Now, of course, with this explosive scale, the amount of that data has likewise exploded.
Minahan: We've only begun to scratch surface on this. When you look at the data that goes on in a business commerce network, it's really three levels. One is the transactional data, the actual transactions that are going on, knowing what commodities are being purchased and so on. Then, there's relationship data, knowing the relationship between a given buyer and seller.
Finally, there's what I would call community data, or community generated data, and that can take the form of performance ratings, so buyers rating suppliers and suppliers rating buyers. Others in the community can use that to help determine who to do business with or to help to detect some risk in their supply chain.
There are also community generated content, like request for proposal (RFP) templates. A lot of our communities members use a "give a template, take a template" type approach in which they are offering RFP templates to other members of the community that work well for them. These can be templates on how to source temp labor or how to source corrugated packaging.
We have dozens and dozens of those. When you aggregate all of this, the last part of the community data is the benchmarking data. It's understanding not just process benchmarking but also spend benchmarking.
One of the reasons we're so excited about getting access to SAP HANA is the ability to offer this information up in real time, at the point of either purchase or sale decision, so that folks can make more informed decisions about who to engage with or what terms to take or how to approach a particular category. That is particularly powerful and something you can't get in a non-networked model.
Gardner: One of the things I sense, as people grapple with these issues, is a difficulty in deciding where to let creative chaos rein and where to exercise control and where to lock down and exercise traditional IT imperatives around governance, command and control, and systems of records.
Zach, in your book with William Bratton, are there any examples that you can point to that show how some organizations have allowed that creativity of people to extend their habits and behaviors in new ways unfettered and then at the same time retain that all-important IT control?
Tumin: It's a critical question that you've raised. We have young people coming into the workforce who are newly empowered. They understand how to do all the things that they need do without waiting online and without waiting for authority. Yet, they're coming into organizations that have strong cultures that have strong command-and-control hierarchies.
There's a clash that's happening here, and the strong companies are the ones that find the path to embracing the creativity of networked folks within the organization and across their boundaries, while maintaining focus on set of core deliverables that everyone needs to do.
Wells Fargo
There are plenty of terrific examples. I will give you one. At Wells Fargo, for the development of the online capability for the wholesale shop, Steve Ellis was Executive Vice President. He had to take his group offline to develop the capability, but he had two responsibilities. One was to the bank, which had a history of security and trust. That was its brand. That was its reputation. But he was also looking to the online world, to variability, to choice, and to developing exactly the things that customers want.
Steve Ellis found a way of working with his core group of developers to engage customers in the code design of Wells Fargo's online presence for the wholesale side. As a result, they were able to develop systems that were so integrated into the customers over time that they can move very, very quickly, adapt as new developments required, and yet they gave full head to the creativity of the designers, as well as to the customers in coming to these new ways of doing business.
So here's an example of a pretty staid organization, 150 years old with a reputation for trust and security, making its way into the roiling water of the networked world and finding a path through engagement that helped to prevail in the marketplace over a decade.
Minahan: I'd also like to talk about the dynamics going on that are fueling more B2B collaboration. There is certainly the need for more productivity. So that's a constant in business, particularly as we're in tight environments. Many times companies are finding they are tapped out within the enterprise.
Becoming more dependent
Companies are becoming more and more dependent on getting insights and collaborating with folks outside their enterprise.
So policies do need to be put down. Just like many businesses put policies down on their social media, there needs to be policies put down on how we share information and with whom, but the great thing about technology is that it can enforce those controls. It can help to put in checks and balances and give you a full transparency and audit trail, so you know that these policies are being enforced. You know that there are certain parameters around security of data.
You don't have those controls in the offline world. When paper leaves the building, you don't know. But when a transaction is shared or when information is shared over a network, you, as a company, have greater control. You have a greater insight, and the ability to track and trace.
When a transaction is shared or when information is shared over a network, you, as a company, have greater control.
So there is this balancing act going on between opening the kimono, as we talked about in '80s, being able to share more information with your trading partners, but now being able to do it in a controlled environment that is digitized and process-oriented. You have the controls you need to ensure you're protecting your business, while also growing your business.
Gardner: Tim, for the benefit of our audience, help us better understand how Ariba is helping to fuel this issue of safely allowing creativity and new types of collaboration, but at the same time maintaining that the important principles of good business.
Minahan: The problem we solve at Ariba is quite basic, yet one of the biggest impediments to business productivity and performance that still exists. That's around inter-enterprise collaboration or collaboration between businesses.
We talked about the deficits there earlier. Through our cloud-based applications and business network, we eliminate all of the hassles, the papers, the phone calls, and other manual or disjointed activities that companies do each day to do things like find new suppliers, find new business opportunities as a seller, to place or manage orders, to collaborate with customers suppliers and other partners, or to just get paid.
They can connect with known trading partners much more efficiently and then automate the processes and the information flows between each other.
Nearly a million business today are digitally connected through the Ariba Network. They're empowered to discover one another in new ways, getting qualifying information from the community, so that they know who that party is even if they haven't met them before. It's similar to what you see on eBay. When you want to sell your golf clubs, you know that that buyer has a performance history of doing business with other buyers.
They can connect with known trading partners much more efficiently and then automate the processes and the information flows between each other. Then, they can collaborate in new ways, not only to find one another, but also to get access to preferred financing or new insights into market trends that are going on around particular commodities.
That's the power of bringing a business network to bear in today's world. It's this convergence of cloud applications, the ability to access and automate a process. Those that share that process share the underlying infrastructure and a digitally connected community of relevant parties, whether that's customers, suppliers, potential trading partners, banking partners, or other participants involved in the commerce process
Sharing data
Gardner: When it comes to exposing the data from these processes, assuming we can do it safely, what can we do now that really wasn't possible five years ago?
Tumin: One of the things that we're seeing around the world is that innovation is taking place at the level of individual apps and individual developers. There's a great example in London. London Transport had a data set and a website that people would use to find out where their trains were, what the schedule was, and what was happening on a day-to-day basis.
As we all know, passengers on mass transit like to know what's happening on a minute-to-minute basis. London Transport decided they would open up their data, and the open data movement is very, very important in that respect. They opened the data and let developers develop some apps for folks. A number of apps developers did and put these things out on the system. The demand was so high that they crashed London Transport, initially.
London Transport took their data and put it into the cloud, where they could handle the scale much more effectively. Within a few days, they had gone from those thousand hits on the website per day to 2.3 million in the cloud.
You need governance and support people, and people to make it work and to trust each other and share information.
The ability to scale is terribly important. The ability to innovate and turn these open data sets over to communities of developers, to make this data available to people the way they want use it, is terribly important. And these kinds of industry-government relations that makes this possible are critical as well.
So across all those dimensions, technology, people, politics, and the platform, the data has to line up. You need governance and support people, and people to make it work and to trust each other and share information. These are the keys to collaboration today.
Gardner: Zach, last word to you. What do we get? What's the payoff, if we can balance this correctly? If we can allow these new wheels of innovation to spin, to scale up, but also apply the right balance, as Tim was describing, for audit trails and access and privilege controls? If we do this right, what's in the offing?
Tumin: I think you can expect four things, Dana. First is that you can expect innovations faster with ideas that work right away for partners. The partners who collaborate deeply and right from the start get their products right without too much error built-in and they can get them to market faster.
Second is that you're going to rinse out the cost of rework, whether it's from carrying needless inventory or handling paper that you don't have to touch where there is cost involved. You're going to be able to rinse that out.
Third is that you're going to be able to build revenues by dealing with risk. You're going to take advantage of customer insight. You're going to make life better and that's going to be good news for you and the marketplace.
Constant learning
The fourth is that you have an opportunity for constant learning, so that insight moves to practice faster. That's really important, because the world is changing so fast, you have the volatility, a velocity, a volume, variability, being able to learn and adapt is critical. That means embracing change, setting out the values that you want to lead by, helping people understand them.
Great leaders are great teachers. The opportunity of the networked world is to share that insight and loop it across the network, so that people understand how to improve every day and every way the core business processes that they're responsible for.
Gardner: Allow me to extend a big thanks to our guests, Zach Tumin, Senior Researcher at the Science, Technology, and Public Policy Program at Harvard Kennedy School, and the co-author with William Bratton of Collaborate or Perish: Reaching Across Boundaries in a Networked World, and Tim Minahan, Senior Vice-President of Global Network Strategy and Chief Marketing Officer at Ariba.

There's a lot of things we do to improve the performance of web and mobile applications. We use caching. We use compression. We offload security (SSL and TLS) to a proxy with greater compute capacity. We apply image optimization and minification to content. We do all that because performance is king. Failure to perform can be, for many businesses, equivalent to an outage with increased abandonment rates and angry customers taking to the Internet to express their extreme displeasure.

"MIcro" is big these days. Both microservices and microsegmentation are having and will continue to have an impact on data center architecture, but not necessarily for the same reasons.

Right off the bat, Newman advises that we should "think of microservices as a specific approach for SOA in the same way that XP or Scrum are specific approaches for Agile Software development". These analogies are very interesting because my expectation was that microservices is a pattern. So I might infer that microservices is a set of process techniques as opposed to an architectural approach. Yet in the book, Newman clearly includes some elements of concept model and architecture as well as p...

Sharding has become a popular means of achieving scalability in application architectures in which read/write data separation is not only possible, but desirable to achieve new heights of concurrency. The premise is that by splitting up read and write duties, it is possible to get better overall performance at the cost of a slight delay in consistency. That is, it takes a bit of time to replicate changes initiated by a "write" to the read-only master database. It's eventually consistent, and it'...

Clegg: Exciting Times Ahead for Town
Wednesday, 6th Feb 2013 06:01
Exiting chief executive Simon Clegg believes Town have exciting times ahead, despite his four years at Portman Road failing to yield the success he had hoped for. Clegg's departure by mutual consent was announced yesterday.
Why didn't Town progress during his spell in charge? Clegg says it certainly wasn't through a lack of effort or investment: "It would be easy, wouldn't it, if there had been a lack of investment in the playing squad and you could turn round and say that was why. But I've signed 73 players since I came here four years ago.
"So no one could say that Marcus Evans is not committed to this football club and has not supported it in a massive way financially, but it has just not gelled on the pitch in the way we hoped it would do.
"Hindsight's a great thing, isn't it? I've worked predominantly with two managers who have not been able to deliver [success]. That said, I've got every confidence in Mick McCarthy and Terry Connor, I think they're a fantastic team.
"I think Mick's an awesome individual and I'm very confident about what the team can achieve going forward.
"I spoke to all the players up at the training ground this afternoon and I think with Mick at the helm, with Bryan Klug back running the academy now, there are exciting times ahead."
Clegg's relationship with fans wasn't always an easy one, something he feels is part and parcel of the job, particularly when a club isn't successful on the field.
"I recognise that fans need to vent their frustration on someone and I recognise that being chief executive, and acting chairman for the last couple of years, that goes with the territory," he said.
"Do I think it's justified? If I was in their position, I probably would think it was justified, but, of course, I'm not in their position, I'm in my position and I recognise that fans seldom have all the facts.
"They form their opinions on the facts that they have, what they read in the media, and more often than not I don't make a point of publicly trying to justify every decision I make.
"I make [decisions] based upon the facts that I have to hand at that moment in time and if people don't like that then I'm sorry, I'm accountable to Marcus."
Former manager Roy Keane expressed his frustration that deals he hoped would go through weren't completed during his time in charge, the signing of Shaun Derry from Crystal Palace particularly irking the former Manchester United man.
Clegg dismisses the suggestion that a situation such as that one was commonplace: "Of course it wasn't. And ultimately, be very clear, the owner controls the purse strings at the club. I'm not trying to dress it up in any other way.
"I recognise that fans needed to vent their frustration on someone and as the public face of the business and the club, that was directed at me. Thankfully, I've got a fairly thick skin!"
Fans became similarly frustrated by the exits of the likes of Gareth McAuley, David Norris and Grant Leadbitter at their end of their contracts, but Clegg says it's not down to the chief executive to make those judgements.
"Who makes that decision? Predominantly it's the manager. Predominantly it's the manager who is going 'No, we shouldn't be paying more than this for this particular player'. If the player isn't prepared to accept it, then the player's contract runs down.
"But, of course, everyone thinks we live in a bubble here and we wake up at the end of the season thinking 'Crikey, we've let a player's contract run down'.
"It really isn't as simplistic as that. A lot of thought goes into what new contracts are offered to which players and when."
Clegg, the British Olympic Association's chief executive prior to his time at Town, also dismisses the oft-made claim that owner Marcus Evans primarily brought him to Town due to his links with the Games: "I recognise that people want to make those connections but quite frankly it's without any justification. I've not helped Marcus with Olympic matters for the last three years.
"People can judge me how they want to. I don't think many people could have thrown much more into this football club than I have over the last four years.
"I've lived it, I've breathed it six days a week and even on the day off a week I had at home I was still working and was still on the computer, speaking to Marcus."
Various players have had off-field issues during his time at the club which is something else he feels comes with the territory.
"I think that's the job of a chief executive," he said. "I have a very lucky background of managing soldiers, who traditionally are not without their problems themselves.
"I've managed some very difficult situations at the Olympics, incredible situations at the Olympics which have never got into the public domain, some instances much worse than I've had to deal with at Ipswich Town.
"I have an empathy with the performer and I see my job as the chief executive to do my best to alleviate some of the peripheral noise and distractions so they can focus on what they are employed to do, which is to play football.
"If you can help take those distractions away, it should allow them to deliver better on the pitch. And that's what everything's about. Everything in this business depends on what happens on the pitch for 90 minutes on a Saturday.
"If we play well, we hardly get any complaints. If we play badly and we get a bad result, everything is to blame, from the chief executive down, and most of the complaints land on my desk. But it goes with the territory."
He feels his job at Town differed from his Olympics role quite significantly: "In my previous life you had one event every four years, possibly two if you include the Winter Olympics.
"This event is relentless, week in, week out, sometimes twice a week, for nine months of the season. Then everyone thinks that you go to sleep for the three months of the close season, but it's an incredibly busy time when a huge amount of work goes on behind the scenes.
"That's why I've made the decision now. Firstly, I've been discussing it for some time with Marcus. Secondly, when I did focus in on it we agreed that I would stay until the end of the transfer window to oversee that.
"That finished at 11pm on Thursday. Friday was the day before a home game and I didn't want to announce it then because the focus would be on me when it should be on the players and the team. That's why I've announced it this week.
"That will allow the new, incoming team to deal with matters between now and the end of the season and then really get to grips with things in the close season."

Westminster working for literacy in India
Michael Brandy, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY – Two hundred dollars could buy quite a few scarves or saris from India, as well as a pair or two of traditional curly-toed leather shoes, but on his first trip there, Westminster student Robin Hill instead gave his souvenir money to homeless children on the streets.
"It wasn't until later that I realized that giving them handouts like that wasn't really giving them what they need," he said. The 22-year-old economics student helped organize a project to provide much-needed opportunities for literacy in remote areas of one of the world's poorest nations, particularly in the village of Wai, India.
"Wai is an incredible place," Hill said. "The people there want to learn; they have so many great ideas, but they just don't have the resources."
Multiple small towns make up the village of Wai, its largest with about 40,000 people, almost all of them very poor, said Westminster College President Michael Bassis, who has also visited the country. He said on Tuesday that education is one of the greatest needs for the people of Wai, particularly the women, who are often only educated through the first few grades.
"Every woman, no matter how poor, is immaculately dressed in their saris. There is such a great sense of pride amidst the poverty, and they are so humble and grateful for even the smallest gifts," Bassis said Tuesday during a fundraising event. Building a library, providing a collection of appropriate books and training for librarians, he said, would have a "lasting impact" on the village.
The project is anticipated to cost up to $70,000, and so far, students and faculty at Westminster have been able to raise about a quarter of that, hosting events where students contribute or buy goods to donate to the cause. More than a dozen students will be traveling to Wai in May to help train librarians to best be able to use the resources that the completed project will provide.
"We hope to see, one by one, child by child, books in their hands and the world changing," said Jan Saeed, Westminster's director of spiritual life. They've teamed up with the Room to Read Foundation, which has established more than 4,000 libraries and 400 schools in the world, including 252 reading rooms for children in Delhi.
In addition to providing a lasting resource for literacy in Wai, Bassis said the proposed library project will produce global learning opportunities for students and faculty, both in Utah and in Wai, as well as help Westminster develop a long-term relationship with the village to enable an open exchange of ideas and people.
A local scientist and businessman, Ashok Joshi, was born near Wai and lived there as a child. He has founded at least one school there and is very excited about the library project.
"The success of a project depends heavily upon the passion of those involved," he said. "This is going to be successful because people are so passionate there."

I have held off asking for help on this for a while, hoping that I would find the answer for myself, but things have gotten quite desperate now. I hope I can explain this properly:
I am building myself a website that will contain both my Portfolio and a Blog. The address is:
The Portfolio and Blog Items are stored as posts, with some PHP to work out which is which and display a different template to each.
The portfolio page has 5 subpages.
¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦
Websites Games Interactive Banners Clients
These pages all share the same template which contains Code that displays all the posts contained within the category that matches the pages name. This part works fine, and I even managed to get the subnav to render correctly.
It happens the moment I try to click on one of the Individual Portfolio links. It displays fine, but the nav and subnav falls apart. The breadcrumb also goes wrong (though i have hacked that so it works for now, not ideal:-().
I am guessing the reason is because I am technically not within the Portfolio folder anymore, even though the url displays perfectly.
Is there a way of telling these posts that they belong to a certain page so the structure remains intact?
Could I create pages of the same name as the posts and somehow link to them through the category list display? (e.g. instead of it loading the post up, it loads a page up that contains the single post). This sounds like it would double effort and I would love to avoid this if possible.
I hope that made sense, its been driving my crazy for a long time now, I have searched high and low for examples of other portfolio sites set up like mine, but none seem to have more than 2 levels.
From a Usability point of view I would love to get this working dynamically and avoid hacks, but I am getting pretty desperate, any help is really appreciated,
