There are 3 disks here and probably 20 hours of talks. The speech I wanted some of us to see is "Organization Building" from Brian Weller, from WELL who shows how culture is changed and shows how small little groups like ours start some of the ideas but how for these ideas to really become mainstream, they have to be shared and passed on to other groups who help to bring the process into the mainstream. Very well stated and he has lots of visual graphs that show the transition states.
