This is the first time I'm blogging during a conference - I'll see if I can pay attention and write coherently at the same time. Instead of providing a chronological account of my time with Dave Snowden (founder of Cognitive Edge) over the next few days at Sonja's Dialogue conference in the Cognitive Edge Accreditation course.

I did the very same course roughly 18 months ago (after I had just read a couple of Dave's articles). It blew my hair back and am thankful I took some fairly rigorous notes. We're only 40mins into the day, but I can already see how Dave has improved in communicating the philosophy and background to his complex adaptive systems influences behind sense-making (making sense of the world so that we can act in it).

I do wonder though if I feel this way because I have journeyed with this thinking over the last year or so?

*He looks around the room*

Nope, people seem to be grasping this better than I did last year. Well done Dave!

Onto my next thought ...
