I work on various bits and pieces for Manchester Business School... ...most notably a social media site for local government employees in the UK and the development of a new institute to look at the current and future impact of social tools. It won't be the kind of academic institution you're used to though. It's called i4SM, keep your eyes peeled. As for the invisibility bit, well, being self employed I just try to keep my head down and get on with what I'm paid to do.
