Yes, I would certainly be keen to hear more on Vygotsky. I don't have much of his
text yet, except for a couple of bits from Northernlight www.northernlight.com
BTW, I am a part-time Ph.D. student, looking at whether scenario planning, in terms of
a workshop-based activity can increase organisational learning within a management team.
In particular, looking at how changes in individuals' cognitive maps change, as a result of
the intervention - more shared concepts, greater systemic thinking (loops etc.).
My prof suggested look at Vygotsky, and in particular the zone of proximal development.

Brian
