Welcome to the blog at David Ing ... at large.
"At large" is an apt descriptive based on the Online Entymology Dictionary:
- large
- large "broad, wide," from L. largus "abundant, copious, plentiful, liberal," of unknown origin.Main modern meaning "extensive, big" emerged c.1300. An older sense of "liberated, free" is preserved in at large (1399). Adj. phrase larger-than-life first attested 1937 (bigger than life is from 1641).
On other web sites, I have collaborators. On this one, there's no one to blame but myself.
I am active under a number of personas:
- vice-president of communications for the International Society for the Systems Sciences;
- co-founder of the Systemic Business Community;
- senior researcher on the Rendez research project, and lecturer at the Helsinki Polytechnic Stadia;
- moderator for the Service Engineering and Management Knowledge Intensive Business Services community;
- business architect and marketing scientist for IBM Software Group, collaborating on questions at the intersection of business organizations and technologies on coevolving.com;
- itinerant scholar at the Helsinki University of Technology, Department of Industrial Engineering and Management;
- research fellow, University of Hull Centre for Systems Studies; and
- founding moderator, Kellogg School of Management alumni class of 1982.
This blog is the most individual persona .... If you're interested in something more thought-out, try one of the other web sites above!
