Steve, both an entrepreneur, PhD in sociology and principal of \u201cNetworking Action,\u201d has been at the forefront of thinking\/practicing through inter-networked communities of networks.\u00a0 In this simultaneously simple yet complex networked organizational form, the real work happens at the front lines. Resources and strategic thinking, however, can be informed at the \u201chub\u201d of the shared communities.\u00a0 This is both efficient (always important, now more than ever) and it allows for the all important \u201cweak ties\u201d to grow. Weak tie theory, in a nutshell, suggests that people who have many \u201cweak\u201d connections outside their home base of &#8220;strong&#8221; ties or relationships can best allow for innovation and development into new areas because they can reach into resources \u2013 along the chain of weak tie<span>s &#8211; more quickly.\u00a0 \u00a0But read Steve directly!
