Harold, It is interesting to ponder what roles we play in a wider ecosystem of colleagues, industry peers and clients. I suspect that's a key to answering the question you posed.

Speaking for myself, I come to your site regularly because you post frequently and consistently (that’s part of it). But more importantly, for me you act like a value adding integration hub or boundary spanner between the L&D/OD domain I began my career in to the fast paced visceral nature of the wider business world and society at large ( which I and everyone else is seeking to make sense of and earn a keep in).
