David Armistead and Jon Lebkowsky are co-authors, with John Motloch, of "Eco-economics in Texas: Competitive Adaptation for the Next Industry Revolution" (download pdf). Appearing in the current issue of IC² Institute's Texas Business Review.

Jon Lebkowsky was a signer of the Cluetrain Manifesto in 1999, and has continued to advocate its principles.

"...learning to speak in a human voice is not some trick, nor will corporations convince us they are human with lip service about 'listening to customers.' They will only sound human when they empower real human beings to speak on their behalf....employees are getting hyperlinked even as markets are. Companies need to listen carefully to both. Mostly, they need to get out of the way so intranetworked employees can converse directly with internetworked markets."
