I am savouring everything that comes in, but have not sufficient time to give back reasoned responses. So this will be quick and rough. It seems to me that, given the exchanges with Yves -a bit confusing on who says what- we should give some thoutghts to the high reliance we are putting on a discussion tool -internet- that is essentially linear and black-and-white (!), when we need to be dealing with circles, spiral, lateral thinking, nuances, bright images, outside the box thinking... So, some time will need to be spent on 'process' for strategic formulation and communication that leaves things open. The 'you said' - 'I say', tic for tac ripostes get in the way, even if we declare to have put our ego in storage. Elements of a more flexible process may be technical/ logistics, other semantic clarifications, codes etc. Other still, will be to go to square one in a very simple manner and look at 'what is the future we desire'. Visualize it, make it as concrete as possible (we know what does not work), get some level of agreement on the vision and _then, start working on how to get there. See you soon!
