		<description><![CDATA[I’ve always been fascinated by crowds — how they form, why they form, what influences them, and what, in turn, they have the ability to influence. I’ve also always tried to differentiate between crowds and communities, the latter being a more “refined” version of a crowd. Communities have purpose, and common bonds that bind the [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The words “Disruption” and “Innovation” have become lexicons of our current business vocabulary. But while they are closely linked, they are (as mentioned in my post Disruption and Innovation, Part I) two very different beasts. Not surprisingly, I increasingly hear people speak of their organizations as being disruptive in a market, of having a disruptive [&#8230;]]]></description>
