Hi --

"The Power of Good Conversation" by Professor Lynda Gratton, Professor
of Management Practice, London Business School, is highly
recommended.

See:

It is a quick, 5-minutes video. Lynda tells an interesting story about
the stunning importance of authentic conversation in business.

A lot of b-schools and management gurus have 'discovered' and are
advancing the principle of authentic conversation. It is an essential
business behavior and asset. Clusters have been leading popular
transorganizational conversations for almost a decade. Your next is Apr
7, 2006 at UCSF: http://www.vnclusters.com/SFO.htm

All are welcome. Themes are value networks and knowledge network
analysis.
