Hi Bob, thank you for sharing this list of great contributors. There is just one thing that pokes into my eye. It is also something I am witnessing in client engagements, actually everywhere, so you are in the best company.
It is firmly centered around its own silo.
What about adjacent connections or totally random ones? I would add persons like Daniel Kahnemann, Dave Snowden, Thomas Kuhn, Douglas Hofstadter, or Niccolò Machiavelli...
I think, we need more genuinely interdisciplinary thinking!
Second, the list isn't intended to be exhaustive nor to influence anyone else. It's MY list of folks who came to mind who directly influenced me. Am I centered on my own silo. Of course, it was intentional. It wasn't intended to cross discipline's.
That's another lens for another time. I guess what I'm throwing back at you is to honor both types of thinking.
Hi Bob. It is certainly an honour to be included on your list of influencers. Thank you for including me—and thanks also to my friend Amani for forwarding this to me. Wishing you and all your readers a successful and enjoyable 2025.
