They’ve discovered creative ways to address unexpected constraints.

“Great leaders are great learners.”

Open Space
Start the topic you wish to create or join
Join in / begin the dialogue
Guidelines:Hummingbirds: Flit from topic to topic.
Bumblebees: Take ideas & cross pollinate.
The rule of two feet: No longer interested, use your two feet, move on.
Open Space principles1. Whoever comes are the right people.
2. Whatever happens is the only thing that could have.
3. Whenever it starts is the right time.
4. When it’s over, it is over.
StructureCompanies that launch systems integrating social and formal content management
are not just launching new pieces of technology.
Technology is the
enabler, not the solution…Success is dependent on high- and low-tech elements.

Are we doers or definers?
Can we be both?
“Curation”
Maybe we should focus more on doing, and less on defining.
What content Curation means will sort itself out once we see more …good work that can’t really be called anything else.

The Mayo Story• Mayo physicians & staffers not at the event
• were watching it unfold online • introduced new thoughts, shared ideas, and• chronicled highlights as if they were at the conference.
• Virtual participants across the micro-sharing stream • appointed themselves as connectors and advocates,
• spreading ideas out, several nodes to all corners of the organization.

The Mayo Story
•People wouldn’t have had that special feeling of “I got to participate in something amazing” if it weren’t for microsharing.
• It extended creative thinking to the whole organization
• without the cost and logistical headaches of a 50,000-person seminar.

What you say on Facebook(or don’t say)says a lotabout you.
Transparency Andopaqueness is what you communicate…
Time spent on social sites increasing exponentially…
It is entirely possible your
employees know less about their co-
workers than they do about friends
they haven't seen in 10 years,"
