I wrote here that TuSK is my opportunity to introduce the world to people who may have been out of the networking mix. It is also an opportunity to introduce people the world is quite well aware of into my network (which is probably of little value to them, but of great value to my network - assuming that my network is up to snuff!) Today I write about just such an individual.
A couple of months ago I had the good fortune to have
lunch with Lance Knobel (more here). He writes the blog Davos Newbies which is definitely worth your time. Lance actually ran the World Economic
Forum one year,
and was the editor-in-chief of World Link (the WEF publication) for many years
before that.
I have now had the pleasure of talking with
Lance a couple of times, and each time it is an absolute joy. We usually bounce around from
talking about economic theory (Lance really understood the concept behind
Talentism, but he thinks I am perhaps too optimistic to
believe that corporations will be willing to reach far enough back into the
educational system to make the changes needed to realize the ultimate vision)
to great historical literature (we are both O'Brien
fans).
Lance is now a part of Qnet,
which is a group of true geniuses in the Bay Area. If you are interested in geopolitics,
economic theory, technological innovation or just sparking conversation, Lance
is someone you should know.
