If you are struggling to come up with ideas for what to do next time you assemble a networking group, I would like to put forward an idea that I have been toying around with: what if the individual participants were given the assignment: Everyone will a companion, preferably of the innovative kind, who must not know (or be known to) anyone else in the original group of people. This gives you the opportunity to add new perspectives to the topics you are occupied by, and provide fresh air to the network.
As far as I can see, the idea could be used in several contexts where you may be interested in breaking up old habits and bringing innovation into a more or less established group. If someone out there tries it out, I would be delighted to hear about your experience.
