My first introduction to value networks was through the ground breaking book "Digital capital - harnessing the power of business webs" by Don Tapscott, David Ticoll and Alex Lowy, HBS Press, 2000 which I acquired after meeting Don at an event organised by Thomas Power in London, through the business oriented social networking community called Ecademy.
Don is from Toronto in Canada.
The diagrams and approach were the brainchild of Verna Allee who lives on the west coast of USA.
Calgary, between the two locations, is in Canada.
Therefore, in honour of both I am seen sporting below my Calgary Stampede vest and wearing my favourite summer hat bought at the Stampede. I gather my wife's "first cousins removed" were involved with the early Calgary Stampede founders (Graves).
Apart from the sporting events they put on one of the most spectacular open air evening shows available.
Today, with value networks by your side, you can co-create some of the most spectacular shows on earth as well!
