I’ve been working on a series of seminars. I hope to announce more of them soon but I have the first one ready.<\/i><\/p>\n

You’re not crazy. You are innovative.<\/a> will examine the disruptive innovators in a community. These people are absolutely critical for the introduction of new ideas into an organizations – ideas that could make or break the success of the company.<\/i><\/p>\n

Yet often these people are seen more for their disruptive activities rather than their innovation. The majority of the community – the people who simply get things done – views disruption negatively because it changes their workflow, making it hard to simply get things done. Doers distrust disruptors.<\/i><\/p>\n

This seminar will explore how human social networks adapt to change and why the disruptors are so often not listened to. It will demonstrate that the social networks of disruptors and doers look very different and how Web 2.0 tools can be used to identify members in each group.<\/i><\/p>\n

It will also provide insights into human social networks that can empower disruptors, making it easier for their innovative ideas to traverse a community and have the major impacts that they should.<\/i><\/p>\n

The next class in Seattle will start soon. I can also provide seminars for groups. If you would like to attend, send us an email<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
