Learnings - Where Are We?
Head in the sand
Use technology for one-way communication; know we ‘should’ do more
Get it

Learnings – The Not So Good
A website is not innovative
“How do I use Facebook better?” is the wrong question
Low tolerance for risk
Technological expertise ≠ intellectual / content knowledge expertise
Naïve understanding of required staff and budget capacity

Learnings – The Good
Potential is huge!
Front-end tools for two-way communication
Back-end tools to make use of your data easier and more powerful
Opportunity: Put technological and media tools of different organizations in dialogue with each other
Excellent models exist

On the Horizon: Organizational Evolution
Sharing gleaned learnings
Version 2.0
Modern forms of community and communication
Fundamental organizational changes are doable
Your role
