Note From Beth: A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to participate in a meeting with other capacity builders who work with networks. I wrote a quick reflection on some of the techniques used to facilitate the meeting. But whether you call it “networked” ways of working, “collaboration 2.0” Photo by Beth Kanter. So what to do?

We need to create some collaborative structures (probably on the web) for continued dialogue and mutual support. We talked alongside each other but rarely to and with each other.
