  • How Social Networks are Disrupting Everything you Know About Business

  • The use of digital is also blurring the lines between customer and seller. A few years ago people thought I was insane in facilitating a network on my lonesome on top of my day job. You join a professional association and become the VP of programming if you want to do that. Later they sought confirmation in their assessment of my insanity when I started Conversation Agent. Many are now using blogs as a dynamic newsletter to push news about their projects out. The difference between native and immigrant in the two activities above is the degree of involvement. When I started developing the network I only suspected that I would have a higher degree of interest in its success -- now I know with certainty that it's because I am at the same time organizer and leader as well as participant. Having a blog is a way to stay curious and participate in the larger conversation, not merely a way to make your newsletter interactive.

Charities 'must get better at measuring social returns' - Third Sector - 0 views

  • "The Cabinet Office has produced very good guidance on how SROI should be used, but many charities aren't following it.
    • Elizabeth Borg
       
      I didn't know that guidance on SROI had been produced. Did anybody else? Could be useful.

    Apparently, the govt's cabinet office has produced guidance on measuring impact. Worth checking out as could be useful in our future funding applications.

Hot topic - How do we reclaim the radical? | Bassac - 0 views

  •  
    Community organisations are increasingly agents of the state, and no longer radical champions of social justice. Ruth Townsley, Voice and Impact manager, questions whether community organisations are losing their critical voice. The independent voice of the sector, the voice that challenges the 'one size fits all' policies of government, and which calls to account statutory services, the voice which connects with marginalised groups of many types to ensure they are not bypassed by the generic central government solutions, is being eroded.
  •  
    If you are drawing down public funding, there has to be some agreement between funder and community organisation - otherwise why would we be given the money? I think we have to be subversive and creative, and tweak funding to fulfil our learners' needs.
