Donella Meadows on Places to Intervene in a System

Whenever I lecture about a systems approach to communication strategy and organizational change, people want more resources. Often, I point them to some fairly esoteric stuff. But I was recently reminded of Donella Meadows' 1997 work on Places to Intervene in a System, and I recommend it to anyone trying to find leverage points for change in a networked world. It's essential reading for funders, consultants and nonprofit leaders. Posted: 1/5/04; 12:11:23 PM #

What You Can't Say
	I think I am regarded in some circles as rather outspoken, so it was with great pleasure that I read Paul Graham What You Can't Say, a thoughtful exploration of heresy in all its forms and implications. Posted: 1/5/04; 12:11:13 PM #

Knowledge Augmentation
	Denham Grey has written a jargon heavy, but pithy and link filled piece on Knowledge Augmentation, in which he lists some of the key practices in organizations who want to build their knowledge base and encourage learning. These practices are one of the reasons I focus on communication and processes in my knowledge management work, rather than on content. Posted: 1/5/04; 12:10:55 PM #
