Friends,

Been reading and thinking.

These ideas of John's suggest something we can't 
do with the list. This sounds inspiring.

This one grabs me: "A gallery of organizational 
and leadership metaphors - visual, aural, text, 
etc."

Let's see what happens, either with this or one of the others.

What I'm suggesting here is that a wiki that is a 
PRODUCT of our collaborative efforts might just 
be something new that we want to make. The 
question, then, is not about the process of 
getting people to collaborate or the technical 
means to do it.  The question should be WHAT do 
we want to create? (in a Wiki that is separate 
from our listserv communication as a community):

- A "Wikipedia" of organizational aesthetics? 
(although, given the number of books on the 
subject - many written by AACORN members, this 
may be redundant or too big)

- A recipe book of artistic strategies/processes 
for organizational development (although this 
might infringe too much on the intellectual 
property and livelihood of practitioners)

- A gallery of organizational and leadership 
metaphors - visual, aural, text, etc.

- One giant multimedia collaborative 
organizational/leadership metaphoric piece of art

-  The libretto, music, costumes, design, and 
artistic direction of an opera about a waif-like 
artist in an anaesthetic organizationŠ.sort of a 
Puccini Scènes de l'organisation de Bohème We can 
then produce it in Banff.   This is maybe too 
silly an idea, but then again, maybe not.  My 
point is that we, the "creativity people", need 
to get creative and make some art together!
