Technology is playing an increasing role in network building by enabling new ways of connecting citizens with government and each other. This is driving a "triple reset" economically, socially, and politically. Socially, citizens expect more mobile services and frequent opportunities to learn. Economically, issues like banking crises and green agendas are globalizing competition. Politically, governments must find new ways to connect with and get feedback from citizens. Organizations that do not adopt new technologies risk disruption. Harnessing human skills through collaboration is the new promise, but impacts on business models and challenges for partners must be considered.
