How to use this list
- Follow 10–15 now. Keep it lean and intentional.
- Engage weekly: 1 thoughtful comment, 1 reshare with your take, 1 original post tying their topic to a Dialexity map/screenshot.
- Tag sparingly: Only when your post genuinely advances their thread (e.g., “trade-off map we built for speed vs safety”).
- Build a “partners” lane: DM 3–5 facilitators/consultants to co-run a pilot workshop using Eye Opener.
If you want, tell me your priority lane first (corporate strategy vs policy/regulation) and I’ll trim this to a laser-focused Top 8 plus a 4-week engagement plan.
