I had a quick trip for Philadelphia for a good session with the Knowledge Management group there. KMG is a great example of a “learning network,” intentional and self-organizing. It’s been going for five years, and so is clearly doing something right. I spoke with two co-panelists, Eric Stein (Penn State) and Joan Allatta (Wharton). Both have done work in social network analysis and shared their case studies and learning. The work all dovetailed nicely, and I was glad I made the trip, even though I had a terrible drive both ways.
