There also seems to be a "tipping point" where small companies lose that critical design thinking element once they become a BIG company. The same "culture" which contributed to the success of the company, then becomes stagnant and uncreative. On the interacting with the community piece, I once served in the creative dept. of a national community development intermediary and it was customary for everyone (especially the admin/finance staff) to visit and volunteer some time with one of the local affiliates especially within the first 3 months of their tenure. I believe it was extremely important aspect of the culture that doesn't exist anymore. Regards, S.

I will definitely come by your session. I'm presenting a Core Conversation called "How Social Media Can Destroy Your Business Model" at SXSWi on Sunday, March 14th. Kami Hayuse is my co-presenter. I look forward to seeing you in Austin and also meeting Katie. Regards, Anjuan This sounds like a very exciting topic! I will definitely come by your session.
