David Weinberger Technologist, professional speaker, and commentator

David Weinberger is a senior researcher at Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society and was co-director of the Harvard Library Innovation Lab, and a journalism fellow at Harvard’s Shorenstein Center.

Ever since I became acquainted with his thinking in The Cluetrain Manifesto in 1999, David has had a huge influence on me. His insights into the nature and the power of conversation and his understanding of the complexity of this world are second to none.

For all our knowledge, we have no idea what we're talking about.

We don't understand what's going on in our business, our market, and our world.

Knowledge Management shouldn't be about helping us to know more. It should be about helping us to understand.

So, how do we understand things? It's through stories that we understand how the world works.
