Creating Change in a Digital World
I have an agenda
I want you to believe we can
build organizations based on
Abundance
That’s not our model today
(and it’s understandable)
We exist in the space
Where needs cannot be met
 through traditional means
Where business or government
  services don’t exist or are
         inaccessible
(that’s why we are “not” one
thing or “non” something else)
But I want you to leave today
believing something different
Abundance
I believe it
I work for an organization
That started with this:
Journalists threw away review
     copies of software
We took those copies and we
      gave them away
Now, we have direct impact in
     over 70 countries
To date, we’ve given away more
    than $2.5 billion worth of
          technology
And we’ve connected people to
  resources that help them
   optimize that technology
And I’ve seen other examples of
          abundance
I believe we can build a sector
         on abundance
I believe you can build an
organization on abundance
How?
1. Open data
2. Ability to congregate
3. You
