I would love to hear more about how you might engineer some network
development to enhance the potential for creativity and innovation. I've
been thinking about using creativity training exercises for a twofold
purpose:
1) facilitate intra-individual expansion/freedom from constraints 2) use
the exercises to promote linkages in the network to re-shape it into a
more complexly organized structure.
Could you also say more about how a "network of recurring patterned
conversations invokes notions of discussants, agendas, venues, purposes,
and so on."
