One of the things I like about conferences is that they trigger thoughts and ideas in my head as I listen to the speakers. Interestingly, the thoughts often have little to do with the subject of the speaker.

Usually I just make notes of these thoughts in my note book but at KM Russia 2014 in Moscow. I decided to tweet a few of them.
  • A thought: Conversation is a simple tool for making sense of a complex world.
  • Another thought: We should not try to control the outcomes of a conversation but let the conversation take us where it wants to go.
  • A thought: Conversation is a powerful tool for helping us challenge our existing mindsets.
  • A thought: get older managers to have open conversations with their youngest employees to learn about social tools and new mindsets.
  • Thought: we inspire each other through conversation.
  • Thought from #kmrussia It's not that communication is key. Conversation is key!
Clearly my mind was focused on the power of conversation.
