A long day, starting with an early morning alarm to make the 0701 from Swindon and ending up with a late night arrival in Trieste for State of the Net 2014 of which more over the next few days. The reason for the early morning train was to give the opening keynote at KM UK. David […]
The day started with a short walk down the Rhine with David Griffiths and David Gurteen to the conference centre where we were presenting. Billed as the three Davids and they are all Welsh it was the first time we had spoken at an event together. Now walking down the Rhine is always special. The premier […]
I flew into Frankfurt with David Gurteen today who sinned greatly by messing up the on line checkin to confine me to a middle seat. After a good meal and conversation I have partially forgiven him only because I know I can retaliate for the return flight. The hotel we are staying at is one […]
Nancy Dixon, in response to my keynote yesterday, expressed a preference for getting people together to talk about things rather than gathering narrative into a database which “spits out the patterns”. She argued that Appreciate Inquiry and Future Search, both workshop focused, were techniques able to deal with multiple ontologies. The same preference […]
So just under two weeks ago I finished the South Downs Way and the question was where next? The Thames Path and the Wessex Ridgeway are now reserved for Peter and Julia but that leaves a lot of weekends free. I have the South West Coastal Path underway but that is going to take […]

It’s called “A University”. I retweeted it, resisting the temptation to amend It’s called to It was called. Now in parallel with […]
One of the very strong memories of my youth is the scene in the BBC production of Sartre’s Roads to Freedom where Mathieu and Ivitch use a knife to define their authenticity through an act ‘as themselves’ not determined by any essence. Trying to fathom that at the age of 16 resulted in a extended period of […]
It's KM Asia 2012 and I am a keynote, as I have for every occurrence of this event I think. Its a much smaller event that KM World, in part because it restricts its agenda to knowledge management. Its not (as the web site claims) The world's most prestigious annual knowledge management event. Sorry guys […]
A day out today other than some email in the early hours. I had made the mistake of complaining at the seminar on Thursday that I was stuck in Canberra for three days. I argued that it would have been better to get me up to Brisbane on Friday or better still to stay in […]
