Dr. Ray Deonandan is a scientist, thinker, teacher, novelist, and explorer.  Not fitting easily into any one discipline or structure, he spans the boundaries between several worlds and shares lessons between each – perhaps an archetype of the knowledge broker that is emerging as a defined role in many organizations.  The conversation we had in Ottawa was profound and humorous, focused and expansive; much like Ray’s approach to his work.  I think you will appreciate his grounded examples and his ability to link difficult concepts to stories.  Human history is grounded in storytelling, so is knowledge exchange.  Sit back and enjoy a fun ride.
