This document discusses liminality and innovation at the boundaries. It introduces the concept of liminal spaces and transitional stages as places where new ideas can emerge. It then outlines four sections that will be discussed: Everything Connects, On The Edge, Trust Complexity, and One Step Beyond. Brief quotes are provided to introduce each section's theme about the importance of networks, peripheral perspectives, embracing uncertainty, and focused attention respectively. Contact information is provided for Roland Harwood to continue the conversation.
