Andrew McAfee’s latest
by Hylton Jolliffe
Most of our readers surely tune in to the blog of Andrew McAfee, the Harvard Business School professor who keynoted and led numerous sessions at FASTforward earlier this month (here’s an interview by David Weinberger with Andrew [added later: also check out Kathleen Gilroy’s longer interview with Andrew from before the conference]). For those of you who don’t or aren’t aware of it, a few pointers, in reverse reverse chronological order, to recent posts that follow up on some of the conversations that took place at and after the conference:
FastForwarding to a Better Understanding, part 1
In speaking about two of the roundtable discussions in which he was involved: “…they caused me to start rethinking some of my most deeply held convictions about Enterprise 2.0…”
FastForwarding to a Better Understanding, part 2
In his second post about the event, to which many great comments were added, Andrew lays out the thesis of his second-day keynote and adds “…At a lunchtime discussion that same day, I heard a very different view.”
Andrew notes the openness of the Web and how it’s given rise to the “elaborate” and emergent nature of today’s Web and ponders how effective the closed, “walled gardens” of corporate intranets can really be in surfacing good information and ideas. As before, be sure to catch the comments.
