February 17, 2012 from 1:15pm to 4:30pm
Jane writes:‘We all have a repertoire of language and styles, spoken and written. These are an important part of our identity. Many of us speak more than one language or one dialect.

Penny Walker replied to Rob Warwick's discussion Evolution and Revolution: in our use of models methods and concepts? in the group Open Space"Hi Rob and all,
My freshest thinking on this is a re-affirmation of the importance of being comfortable to ask "what's really going on here?", suspending the pressure to have a neat explanation (model) and feeling safe to "say…"

New Thinking for Troubled TimesCo-creating the future the AMED WayThe world is in uproar: the predominant economic model is failing, some of the more astonishing predictions of the impact of the internet are being manifest, there is extraordinary volatility across the Middle East and the more familiar pressures of globalisation and population growth continue.

But I, I think maybe it's both, maybe both happening at the same time.” To me this captures the mixed, paradoxical and confused feelings we have, but only rarely speak of.
