Of course the “necessary conditions” must be in place (real business issue, complexity, diversity, passion, conflict, urgency) – and from there on out the only thing you need
to do is sit in a circle, create bulletin board, open market place – and go to work. Nothing else needed.</SPAN><U></U><U></U></div>
