My organization is currently building and promoting a network of people who understand the interrelationships between people, environment and development (PED). I think this site helps in understanding networks.

"I am even beginning to see the systematic failure of initiatives in education which fail to connect to what appears a relatively small online network of commentators."

Why is that? What do you think the originators of the initiatives could do to plug in most effectively to the network of commentators?

For most organisations I know they answer is that they are not tapped in and are, slowly, losing the influence they may have exerted. I am even beginning to see the systematic failure of initiatives in education which fail to connect to what appears a relatively small online network of commentators. But these online commentators are increasingly reflecting the views of many people around them, accounting for a very large minority indeed.

Big cos, take note!
