All in all I'd say that phase 2 of the jam went pretty well. I'm cynical myself about sustainable management conversations. It's ironic that IBM would be accused of soliciting free consulting when you consider who they are and what they do. I quickly set aside my initial concern. The participants were involved in an interesting conversation that would have never otherwise taken place had IBM not organized the infrastructure. It seems to me like we all gained in the process. IBM gained the most, and well, it was their party. And IBM'ers created the overwhelming majority of the content, so it worked from my perspective. In the future I hope they'll manage it in an open public forum. It's the logical next step, don't you think? Hey Nick, thanks for the bump.
