Let us now praise awesome commenters: Dave Livingston.
Some months ago I had the very good fortune to attract the attention of Dave Livingston, and ever since then I’ve been profiting from his steady stream of blog comments and e-mails, not to mention his long, thoughtful, kaleidoscopic blog posts. Dave’s writing (and his consulting business) benefit from his 25+ years in business, particularly in planning roles, with IBM and FedEx.
You can find recent examples of Dave’s comments (as dblwyo) via these links:
- Hopes and fears wrestle with reality in the financial markets.
- Book Review: Why Work Sucks and How to Fix It
- Methodology or Mythology?
- The greatest challenge of business: Both/And thinking.
- What are the “Hilbert Problems” of business?
No special agenda here except to say that (a) I love how the social media allow us to discover and engage with smart folks like Dave, and that (b) I think it’s important to express gratitude to those who enrich our own experience — in business, in private life, online, in person, you name it.
So . . . thanks, Dave!

Good heavens. Thanks – much appreciated. Was just checking in to see if anybody had picked up on the Moneyball post and run with it and saw this. Haven’t blushed this much since my young girlhood (for the record that’s a rhetorical flourish..at 6′3″, 240lbs not likely to be mistaken that way). But you take my point.
More seriously I comment and suggest because you cover the questions of business performance I consider important. And, hopefully, by commenting others will encouraged to join in the community, the dialog and the constructive exchanges.
Gracias…
Thank YOU, Dave!
