Beth Kanter – The Networked Non Profit

May 15th, 2010

Beth Kanter is one incredible lady. I learn so much from her blog and her numerous social media channels. In this interview you can see her eyes sparkling and the electric energy that flows out of her with every question asked. The video is long but you can cherry pick which sections you like.

I was interested in hearing about her new book “The Networked Nonprofit“. I am using this term in my posts about social benefit groups becoming a networked organization.

Beth Kanter says, “Go Slow, But Go!” from Communications Network on Vimeo.

Social Learning From the Balcony to the Dance Floor – incremental changes over time

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.
