The Network Roundtable is officially launched! Tom Davenport hosted Rob Cross’s kickoff today at Babson. Forty-five companies have signed on; there were people from 10 additional companies attending as guests. We’ll have to wait to see the votes tabulated to see how many want to work on the “ONA and large-scale organizational change” research topic (being led by yours truly and Nat Welch). But it was an engaged, interested, and very smart bunch of people.

Steve Borgatti showed up and said it’s official: his BC grad students Inga Carboni and Pacey Foster are doing an SNA masterclass at Boston College June 13-15. This one will be geared toward consultants, so not as mathematically dense as some UCINET course. I’ll link to the details as soon as they are posted.
