I’m sure Seth Godin likes your idea as well as his take on business schools in ‘Small Is the New Big’ resonates well with your viewpoint.

I understand that visual intellect is only one element of creativity, but you have to find a way to help those of us who put a face on creativity, and perhaps isn't the gap between the visual and the cerebral what we're talking about anyway?

John, nice one, I like the idea of grading by sorting, (students as aggregate!), and nice solution to the international problem, I would kill students to learn about the popular culture of Iceland, Tokyo, or South Africa. And then we have an exchange of information that creates something closer to symmetry. Thanks, Grant

Peter, that's exactly right, that problem solving can feel episodic, when it is in fact grappling with enduring issues. But I think on the job the student begins to see this, and to treat the case study resources as so many modules that exist to be pressed into service in rich, complicated sets to which one must return again and again. Maybe. That's the hope. Boy, were those students lucky to have some body like you setting the program up! Thanks, Grant

Russell, I am a big fan of your working, blogging and otherwise, and I love this take on the wisdom of crowds. Maybe its the wisdom of clouds, because your model brings together not masses of strangers in the manner of a decision market but something smaller, more focused and more mutual. It's hives, clouds, networks, or something. And in a perfect world this business school would be tapped into, drawing from and giving to these networks all the time.

It feels like this too is a middle ground that needs occuping. We have lots of people on line, and we have some aggregations on high, but do we have meetings grounds in which people can come together for mutual provocation and learning.

Now, if there is someone who can extract content and value from these clouds on a systematic basis so that it pours into a business school curriculum, that would be the single best way to keep the curriculum current. The recriprocity would be to take the conceptual developments of the b-school and port those back into the clouds. I am just rambling. Thanks for dropping by. Grant

And, I have to say, most of the best stuff is coming from beyond the UK and the US – there might be some language issues (unfortunately I have to make them do it in English) but the energy, imagination and insight is all there.
