Bringing It Home

Johnd Hagel III, John Seely Brown, and Lang Davison of the Deleter Center for the Edge have come up with an interesting exercise regarding the idea of "Who-knows-whom" in the scaled up world of network opportunities.

• Can you identify the fifty smartest or most accomplished people who share your passions or interests, regardless of where they reside?
• How many of these people are currently in your professional or personal networks?
• How many of of these people have you been able to engage actively in an initiative related to your shared passions or interests?
• To how many of these people would you feel comfortable reaching out and mobilizing in a new initiative related to your shared passions and interests?
• For these fifty people, how effectively are you using social media to increase your mutual awareness of each other's activities?
