A fancy name for what we've been doing

Someone emailed me the mail below.

Seems someone has put a name to what we did at the third conversation. and wrapped it up in a book and is selling consultancy services based on it! Seems like common sense to me...

====================
12 nodes ( 12 topics to discuss)
30 people linking each node.

A small group of 5 people can efficiently discuss one major and specific topic
each is represented by an individual strut it creates a 5 pointed star around a node (topic)
2 groups discuss 2 topics simultaneously
2 other groups discuss 2 other topics
Until 30 people have exchanged and integrated their knowledge on all 12 topics

As participants move into different groups there are strong resonances from the different topics, groups.
It is difficult to explain but very powerful to experience.
