We work through conversation, assembling networks of people with knowledge about each issue we look into. In the past, we have conducted raves on topics such as innovation, globalization in the information age, and pattern recognition. There is no audience for these events- only participants . These events are small colloquia, with 20-25 participants drawn from the widest possible spectrum. For instance, the guest list for the globalization rave included both a cultural anthropologist and a headhunter.
Raves begin with a welcome reception and are followed by a full day semi-structured meeting.
After the rave, we synthesize what we have been discussing and capture the core themes in an article.
