New Years Day, 2012. What better time for a checkpoint? My research has begun to converge. I’ve posted a recap of key themes at about.me but for now, I’ll follow custom (very retro, I know!) to recap my 2012 resolutions: R1. Intentionality in all things is the new reality of our busy lifestyles, and a grounding principle for heavy [...]

Knowledge is a gift best appreciated when we don’t try to think about it. As a topic of focus, it frequently defies words. It grows more elusive as we attempt to draw closer to its source. And, though we make complex decisions every day, we routinely fail to grasp what it means to truly understand [...]

Posted in change, collaboration, culture, gov20 on March 21, 2010 | 6 Comments »
Per our framing, we’ve spent the last several weeks exploring theories of culture change, ranging from Schein (dimensions) and Handy (structural forces) to Eoyang (complexity).
