Working Title 2: Connected becomes active "ConnectingI**NG**" = = =Learning Through Participation and Connecting Intelligence:= =Adapting Organisations to Maximise Potential Benefits=
 * TOWARDS A DRAFT July 4, 2007**

When do we benefit from collecting or connecting our knowledge?
1. When diverse ways of thinking come together and there is room to hear and integrate. 2. When that knowledge is connected/combined to create new knowledge in the form of solutions to gnarly problems or innovation 3. When an existing solution can be migrated and applied to another situation (whether it looks relevant or no) so the wheel doesn't have to be recreated.

When do we not?
1. When there is so much knowledge and no specific need to filter and focus it 2. When everyone at the table comes from the same background/school/discipline so there is nothing new added 3. When voices are eclipsed by power and positionality 4. When the complexity of the minds in the "room" are not equal to extending but can only look at stringing together or combining.
