If someone can share what is expected of a mentor, that would be great, then I might be in a position to be a mentor. Thanks

I think my questions are mostly along the lines of "why" rather than "how" so, an example would be "what are other people and/or groups using Wave for?" I've heard of Wave being used for lots of different things but never seen really any of them in action, so it's still a pretty abstract utility for me. I'd love to see a concrete screen shot or two (or 10) that would drive my further "how to" style questions once I know what's possible.<br />

Thanks for taking this on August!

No worries, Arik.<br />
<br />
Thinking ahead to the next call when I would be able to do a briefing on Wave, what are the questions people have about Wave? What are the things they would like to learn how to do functionally? Please keep in mind the constraints of the medium and our time.

Thanks a lot August - sorry to nominate you without checking first ;-) Safe travels!<br />
<br />
All, I suggest we have a brainstorming call for agenda ideas - what say you?<br />

I have one more idea which I'll bring up on the call. Let's take a page from Linkedin and provide this community with a way of providing references to the virtual members.<br />
<br />
Since it's sometimes hard to trumpet what we do or to talk about our clients or references publicly due to what we do, here's a suggestion I'll make. The example is for the purpose of illustration, we can change the details of course based on everyone's input.<br />
<br />
Let's say we have a 10 star system. Job hunters, consultants,…

<br />
Let's say we have a 10 star system. Job hunters, consultants, vendors, everyone, can request a reference from other virtual members. The reference can be anonymous or public in terms of attribution, but the content of the reference is available on the person's profile. Does Wave have a profile? If not it could be sent to the NING profile.<br />
<br />
You can ask up to 10 people to reference you. The reference can be in a category, e.g. did business with, worked with, etc. Not sure this is feasible given the constraints of the programs we plan to use.<br />

Couldn't agree more on the language issue - I struggled enough trying to convey ambiguous concepts when I do training in China that I eventually had a tutorial made for me so I could learn (and review) enough Mandarin to get the ideas across.<br />
<br />
Another point is that methods differ <i>widely</i> around the world - one of China's chief intelligence problems is reliability of secondary source data, such as financials, which can't be taken for granted with a government actively suppressing insight…

Another point is that methods differ <i>widely</i> around the world - one of China's chief intelligence problems is reliability of secondary source data, such as financials, which can't be taken for granted with a government actively suppressing insight from its own population - and that creates uniquely Chinese issues in intelligence processing which you won't likely see anywhere else.<br />

I also like the mentoring concept, so would like to hear more ideas about how this would work. SLA started a program and many signed up to be mentored, but few signed up to be mentors as I understand it.<br />
<br />
Great idea Mark and I will check out the site.<br />

I have always felt that SCIP left a wide gap in terms of providing opportunities for independent consultants in this industry to communicate and collaborate. And today there seem to be even fewer ways that we can get to know one another around the SCIP conference or volunteer activities.<br />
<br />
If anyone has ideas of how that could come about more effectively, I'd like to see some discussion around that. I now work with 4 other "partners" in a virtual sense in this industry for my consulting business…

<br />
If anyone has ideas of how that could come about more effectively, I'd like to see some discussion around that. I now work with 4 other "partners" in a virtual sense in this industry for my consulting business but it took years to generate that kind of collaboration due to lack of any conduit to each others' capabilities.<br />
<br />
We do compete in some ways, but in others we have certain specialties. So a sub collaborative for independent consultants in this industry might be something good. I haven't been able to participate in the last few discussions but will be on the call from this point forward.<br />
<br />
As for the technology platform, I am not the best person to ask! NING is a good platform though, but I bow to the technologists and social media experts among us.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
