Francis' last sentence raises what is for me the most important issue that we're working on. Conversations within both humans and organizations are born, live for a while and then die. What is of particular interest to me is what has a conversation persist. One are of development for me is to see the conversations that I am working on as part of a larger network fo conversations. My discipline is to use the conversations that I'm working on as guides to to the many small conversations that I have and to manage myself in not having those that don't forward my larger intentions.
Intelligence is the underlying organisational principle of the universe.
