However, I can't find record of it. So, rather than ignore this valuable resource (put together by Curt Bonk and a global group), I'll risk linking more than once :). The last year has brought about a tremendous surge in interest in emerging technologies. I don't fully understand why. ...

Ran across this intriguing five part series on how to map wicked problems. It's more of a communication tool that brings parties together to agree on the problem and work toward managing it.

In her recent blog post, Bloggers as public intellectuals and writing about them in a research report, she talks about the situation ofdoing research withpeople who are vested in the research topic themselves. ...

What's difficult is to change your practices (read behaviours) to improve your chances of an effective collaboration. Here are seven personal skills that we all need to master to give collaboration a chance. ...

How well do you remember what you were doing when you saw it? Can you remember the room you were in, the people in the room with you, what you said, what you thought?When strong emotions surge through us our bodies respond by pumping adrenalin into our blood stream. ...
