 What is New... Notable developments as they come into being
Graphic Recording with His Holiness the Dalai Lama
@ Seeds of Compassion in Seattle and World-Wide-Web, April 11-15
Anchored by the deep wisdom of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, this community-focused event will celebrate and explore the relationships, programs and tools that nurture and empower children, families and communities to be compassionate members of society. Each of the five days will provide parents, educators, business, and community leaders with an opportunity to better understand the real benefits of compassion, and concrete steps on how to bring compassion into their lives."

Liberating Structures, Spreading To Europe
Liberating Structures are the processes, rules and infrastructure that make it easy for people to be creative, adaptable, build on each other’s ideas, and get results. In lively practice-as-you-learn sessions, participants explore powerful approaches to unleashing talent and innovation (e.g., Positive Deviance, Rapid Prototyping, Smart Networks, Min Specs, Creative Destruction, Appreciative Interviews, Open Space Technology). The focus is on using the materials-and-imagination-at-hand rather than creating detailed plans and elaborate budgets. Success in Latin America has led to new efforts in Spain, Belgium, and Scandinavia. New thoughts about why they spread.
In the works: new article, "All That Coaching and Consulting Offers... and More!" video to complement Social Invention concepts revised article with Linda DeWolf, "Apples, Oranges, Oil, Water: Bootstrapping Innovation with Social Networks, (2005). How can social networks help innovators in developing, vetting, and spreading their innovations?
