When does 1+1=3?

by | Jun 21, 2007 | Neoliberalism, things that make you go hmm | 5 comments

So there’s at least one obvious place where 1+1=3….or perhaps in T3’s case, more than 3.But I’m not talking about that.If I’ve got one skill…and come into contact with someone with another skill, how many do we have in total? We’ve got the two skills…but then we’ve also got a third skill, taken from combining the two other skills.Read The Difference. Without a doubt, the best book I’ve ever read on the power of diversity.

    let me know what you think when you do. i don’t like books on “diversity” as a general rule. this one is so different it’s absurd.

    Nice blog.

    “The Difference” looks like it will be interesting–just ordered it from amazon.com.

    1+1=3 makes my heart race. I love those times when people synergies become a reality.

    I will check out the book!
