In reply to Ian Thorpe.

Hi Ian:

1. I see an increase in complex work and networks as the emerging primary organizing framework. That means, in my opinion, a greater need for cooperation, as we are doing here.

2. "The United States and Canada, along with countries in Western Europe and Scandinavia, long ago developed triform T+I+M societies and are now on the cutting edge for creating quadriform T+I+M+N societies. In the long term, +N dynamics should enable government, business, and civil-society leaders to create new mechanisms for mutual consultation, coordination, and cooperation spanning all levels of governance. Aging contentions that “the government” or “the market” is the solution to particular public-policy issues will eventually give way to new ideas that “the network” is the optimal solution."
