New Virtual Grove Learning Center

Is it possible to experience panoramic visualization without actually participating in a meeting that is graphically facilitated? We’re coming close in The Grove’s new Learning Center in Second Life. For about a year we’ve have been experimenting with how much of The Grove’s work we can portray in this interesting virtual world. We own an island there, called “The Grove.” Just click this SLURL and it will direct you. If you get lost search for “The Grove” under “Places.” Maps on the pier where you land at The Grove have clickable teleports, including up to the Learning Center, shown here.
Bay Area as “Future Center”

If bad news were flames, we’d all agree that with the recent economic news we’ve been going through a fire season—the worst kind of fire season. Most of us are in the process of scrambling to respond. Can our organizations adapt to survive? How will we survive? One thing I know from 30 years of organizational consulting is that crisis is truly opportunity. Until people have to change they don’t. Well we all have to now, and we will. The question is to what and how?
As our leadership team addressed these questions in a recent 2009 planning retreat, we realized the Bay Area is uniquely equipped to meet the challenge head-on and The Grove’s role at its heart in these times became more clear.
