Welcome to those of you visiting courtesy of Liz Strauss. This place started as an experiment while I was teaching courses in IT and Knowledge Management at Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management. This was in the Fall of 2001 and blogs were still relatively new. I saw them then and now as an important part of the puzzle of how organizations learned and learned to take advantage of what it was that they learned.
I’m a big fan of the power of curiosity. Schools and businesses make a mistake when they suppress or try to channel curiosity into approved pathways. I happen to be curious about how technology, learning, organizations, and strategy all come together. I try to make sense of that confusing intersection for myself and for the people and organizations I work with today. If you’d like a flavor of my thinking here are some links to previous posts that I’m pleased with or that have attracted interesting reactions.
- Knowledge management: the newest battle between the neats and the scruffies
- It’s not about creativity, it’s about curiosity
- Technology for us - the heart of Enterprise 2.0?
- Useful models of systems change
- Balancing diligence and laziness
- Literate thinking as a barrier to Enterprise 2.0 adoption
That should give you some flavor for what you’ll find here.
The other reason that I blog is to continue to connect to the fascinating thinkers and doers that are out there. People like Liz and her friends. I look forward to getting to know you.

Just stopping by from Liz Strauss’s Blog Show. Liz is great, isn’t she?
I read your post about curiosity. I think the carefree playfulness of childhood and curiosity often get nixed in adulthood. Bloggers do seem to be bringing this back though!
I think you’re right. The next step is to help those who’ve lost that playfulness to find it again and join us blogging.
I am very please to blog at your website. You mention technology, new teacher methods, and innovative ideas for teachers and all educators. I took some courses from Knowledge Delivery System; I found them at http://www.kdsi.org and I loved them. they were so educational, all I did was turn on the computer and listen to sessions from known instructors in the field. There were questions to answer; submit and earn ceu’s or graduate credits.
