In this way we can establish norms and principles for sharing across disciplines Self-reflection, ethnography, cognitive studies, computational ethnography From social creativity, to cases (finding multiple cases), to case studies to factors to comparative studies of factors to scalable, dynamic evolving definitions 3) Commonalities drawn from stories Need for a baseline ethical standard Diversity and respect Creative leadership Complex, personally meaningful problems Success reaches out and draws in 4) Describing it – (on the WIKI?) We should talk and share experiences about failures more – this can be successful in the longer term.
