New Rules for the New Economy – Radical Strategies for Living in a Connected World

December 23rd, 2008

Jay Cross at his Internet Time Blog, posted about this Wired magazine article written by Kevin Kelly. The article is an exciting discovery for me because it confirms my decision to enter into the consulting field to help others use social media tools to enhance work and learning. My decision to take this direction was based on the personal benefits that I was experiencing. Applying these tools in my community and capacity building work with my own organization and with the networks I participate in have helped me see the potential for organizations and individuals to further their own development. The article is excellent in that it gives a clear description of what we can look forward to in the coming years. Read the full article at Wired Magazine.

The Social Non Profit – My Lens

A social non profit is attuned, responsive and adaptive to the complex factors affecting its constituents and communities. In a social non profit there is an alignment between staff, services, governance systems and online communications. Social non profits value learning and innovation and believe in working smarter by using social tech tools to enhance communication, collaboration and learning amongst staff, volunteers, partners and service users. These organizations believe that strategic use of social media empowers staff, improves services and strengthens governance practices.
