"DiaCom (Boulton) is working with project teams from a large aerospace firm - as well as for quality improvement systems, management information reporting, and employee communication. -- The importance of Boulton's approach is that it is responsive; it does not assume "this is what you need at this time," an assumption implicit in educational systems, corporate training programs and most learning technology." - Working Wisdom

Today people on the cutting edge of organizational design, management theory, general systems thinking, representational democracy, whole person health care, psychological and somatic therapies (and a whole lot more) are converging on one another. Today, the common and central dynamic that underlies performance and wellness in all individuals and organizations, is learning. - David Boulton in Management & Conjoncture Sociale (France)
