the Organization:
From Scalable Efficiency to Scalable Learning
At
the 2009 Pegasus Conference in Seattle, Washington, self-described
"chief of confusion" John Seely Brown presented Rethinking

JSB tells us why he's optimistic about the future. Innovation
and learning are accelerating as networked environments
encourage us to "play with," "push back,"
and "build on" each other's creative contributions.
