The Original Conversationalist: When I first met Bernie DeKoven, back in the darkest Eighties, he said he was always five years ahead of his time. I asked him why I could still see him, like, today?
I've been having fun with Bernie ever since. He was, and remains (among too many other things to name) the world's leading authority on two subjects that rarely keep company: meetings and fun. Too few people know that fact, even though Bernie's been at both games for a helluva long time. But Larry Magid knows, and he wrote about it yesterday in The Los Angeles Times. The piece is about Technography, a meeting facilitation role that Bernie invented and improved over the years, and which now takes advantage of the Web's hyper-connectedness.
The piece is nice, but too dry. It does insufficient service to levity and ease of Bernie's methods and personality, not to mention his fine humor. For more of all that, plus a sense of where we should all be in the next five years, check out CoWorking.com.
