Hello and welcome to “The Lightbulb”.

I’ll be bringing you ideas and concepts from a variety of disciplines … and including ideas from people such as Stafford Beer, Peter Senge, Humberto Maturana, Ross Ashby, Gregory Bateson, Norbert Wiener, Gordon Pask, Warren McCulloch, Buckminster Fuller, Heinz von Foerster, Milton  Erickson, Alfred Korzybski, Virginia Satir, Peter Drucker, Russell Ackoff, W. Edwards Deming and many, many more.
