I should be working on Net Work, but just came on a co-incident point between my writing and a research project I’m working on for a client. For the book, I include visualization as one of the means by which we make sense of our networks. Obviously, organizational network analysis and value network analysis are two that are firmly in my toolkit. I’ve been less attentive to developments in the technology space. My client project includes research into “knowledge discovery” tools as a component of a knowledge management strategy. The list provided to me as a starting point includes various forms of visualization technologies. This morning, as I was reading Anecdote, and followed Shawn Callahan’s link to Gapminder. (Shawn also mentioned Edward Tufte’s new book, Envisioning Information, which is a “must have” book, as are all his works.)

As always, I love it when the threads come together.
