Great Thoughts
Now to stop being a lurker
My background is as a medical doctor in primary care in south london. A
very deprived environment with a very rich network of primary care
Professionals.
I attended the communities of practice seminar with etienne wenger And
john smith in the spring and spied richard there too. (Hi Richard ;-)
I have recently completed my Masters thesis looking at change management
Processes at the interface of primary care with other parts of the UK
National Health Service and have been heavily influenced by Agyris'
formidable work over the last 2 decades.
More recently and embedded in the thesis are ideas of complexity
particularly reflecting on the evolutionary landscape and the co-evolution
that Mark talks about
Kaufman, S. A. (1993) The Origins of Order; Self-organisation and
Selection in Evolution, Oxford University Press, Oxford.
Kaufman, S. A. (1995) At Home in the Universe, Oxford University Press,
New York
Great to be on such a rich 'gift culture' of a list.
