Online Dialogue #5

I have spent three days in London managing an online dialogue. We have six sessions per day and my role is to contribute to the discussion in each session, cull “key takeaways,” write daily summaries based on the key takeaways, and manage surveys. We have 67 participants in time zones around the world so I have been working on and off from 7 am to 10 pm each day. I’m worn out.

Here’s the agenda from Day 1:
