So when you consider this and then what Citizenscape states its value is, the value isn’t directly in the technology itself (although without it, it would be pretty empty) but in the connections, the networks, the communities that are now able to come together and share learning, to reconnect at a civic level to address local issues and problems. The key role for the platform (Citizenscape) is to facilitate those connections, without it those networks may not get the chance to reconnect.

From RSA It is an exciting time in the RSA’s Connected Communities team. Alongside our academic partners UCLAN and LSE, we are approaching an interesting milestone in our seven-site, five year Connected Communities programme that seeks to understand how community and social connections affect people’s well-being, and how to use this information to best plan local projects.

David Wilcox interview Peggy Duvette of WiserEarth in 2009 Three observations stood out for me from our chat: mix face-to-face and online networking, go where people are already gathered rather than expecting them to come to your place, and what makes it all work is passion for an issue. If people are passionate, concerned, and want to meet others then they will make the effort to use the tools. Delete the scoop?

I've chosen this piece becaue (a) collaboration is a topic very close to my heart as a KM professional and (b) it provides actual data that confirms something I've long suspected - the gap between technologists and organisational change skills.
To quote from the author: I was disappointed, but not surprised, that “collaboration” as a skill was mostly lumped with technology skills. Folks in the Enterprise 2.0 space, for example, have almost no overlap with organizational development professionals. It’s a troubling trend. Although people are fond of saying, “It’s not about technology, it’s about people,” there’s not much practice validating that mantra.

#networkista* *someone interested in finding ways to apply network thinking for social benefit The idea of applying network thinking and theory for community and social benefit is not new. Some have been investigating and applying this for many years; others are newcomers to the idea. But we all think the time is right to spread understanding of network theory and network building more generally. We’re aware too that there’s a growing number of people who are interested in this and want to explore it further. Delete the scoop?

From the RSA: Social networks – who you know and are connected to – are understood to reach into all areas of life, yet very few people or organisations are capable of drawing insights from network information. Social Mirror is a tablet application that you can use to measure, visualise, and see the potential for change in online and offline networks. Starting in January 2012, we developed a prototype for use by social science researchers. Delete the scoop?

This post compliments my earlier post about the three types of community where I described three ways of looking at communities from the point of view of centricity and the login.
