REVOLUTION OF NETWORKS
• Revisiting the origins of the ‘organization’
• The people-power to achieve shared goals
• Moving from fortress to sponge

• Who’s on deck? Millennials.
• Changing work patterns



            TODAY’S AGENDA
•   Shared practice
                       •   Shared needs and
                           goals
                       •   Co-investment and
                           support
                       •   Minimal ‘staffing’
                       •   What else?




History of a Jewish Communal Organization
What We’re Used To
What We’re Moving To
A Personal Story
NETWORKS ARE VALUABLE


                     WE TEND TO
                        GROSSLY
                    UNDERUTILIZE
                          THEM.

             Or attempt to use them
                 in the wrong ways.

             Build your network now,
                  before you need it.



The Lesson
SAR Academy Causes Match Campaign
Fortress: Insiders in, Outsiders out
Sponge: Constant flow in and out
•   What is PUBLIC or TRANSPARENT
    information?

•   Who is ’inside’ or ‘outside’ of our community?

•   What is ‘membership’?

•   Where do we need to hire expertise?

•   How are we evaluating progress towards our
    mission and goals?




           Questioning Assumptions
Listen to interests and
     needs of the community                   Empower individuals to
     members                                  micro-plan, experiment and
                                              evaluate. (Remember, you
                                              don’t have to do it for them)


Reflect on how these              Communal
’intrapreneurs’ went               need or
about this task                    interest        Provide support (staff,
                                                   space, experience,
                                                   systems) as needed
                                                   and helpful
                  Try it out! Focus on
                  short, strategic bursts
                  that can be adjusted
                  based on feedback
                                                                  The age of the
                                                                ‘permanent beta’
