I won’t be able to attend this upcoming conference, which promises to be very interesting, centered on the theme of “Living Networks,” and Ross Dawson’s work. Fortunately, Ross is coming up to Boston the next day and will spend some time with my Gennova network. It turned out that we were connected in a couple of ways. I met Ross at the KnowledgeNets conference in New York last Spring, and Ross had also been corresponding with one of my Gennova colleagues.

Coincidentally, my review of Ross’s book, Living Networks, has just appeared in Knowledge Management Magazine. Unfortunately, the review is available to subscribers only. I gave the book a good review (honestly!) as I did like it a lot. It’s a well-written book, with some challenging thinking in it.

Turns out I am also connected to Ross through Verna Allee, who attended a Gennova gathering last week. This network is getting richer and richer.
