This document provides an overview of a virtual training on network building. It includes instructions for joining the audio portion of the meeting by phone. The agenda covers an introduction to networks and their benefits, an exercise on how networks could benefit work on health equity, principles of network culture, and an exercise assessing network behaviors. Participants discuss how networks could expand their collaboration and connect them to new resources and people working on related issues. They also consider network behaviors they could adopt to strengthen values like transparency, shared power, and self-organization.
Anne H. Silvis, University of Illinois Extension Specialist in Leadership Development and Director of the Laboratory for Community and Economic Development, will describe practices that build collaboration at the community level and how
collaborative efforts foster improved outcomes for individuals,
organizations and communities. This plenary session will offer
participants a chance to explore concepts and strategies with
one another in small groups.
Social media enables nonprofits to organize, mobilize, raise funds, and communicate with constituents outside of traditional institutional boundaries, representing a shift away from isolated "nonprofit fortresses". This connected online environment allows nonprofits to collaborate with independent activists, or "free agents", in new ways to advance their missions, though it requires sharing control and adapting to disruption.
The India Leadership Network aims to connect individuals and organizations to nurture leadership and enable impactful initiatives. Its 5-year mission is to transform the lives of 100 million people through improved quality of life. The network connects resources, technology, mentors and more to create an ecosystem where leadership can grow and dreams don't die. It has over 100 city chapters worldwide and aims to connect over 1 million people through various coordinated local projects in areas like environment, education, health and more.

Learning Outcomes
1. Understand how to gauge the use case for an online community platform
2. Describe what a successful online community project looks like
3. Understand the pros and cons of different online community tools
Chris Sigaloff is considering different approaches to design change to make society smarter. The first approach would be to change the innovation discourse and policy through papers, campaigns and lobbying to improve economic growth and well-being. The second approach would be to change people's capacity to innovate and foster conditions for innovation through learning programs, professional networks and "interventures" to empower problem solving and exploring opportunities. The third approach would be to work directly with everyday people experiencing poor outcomes through "intervention sets" with feedback loops for policymakers, to enable people to flourish by creating or dismantling informal and formal systems.
Better lives. Stronger society / Joeri van der SteenhovenMindLab
Governments face increasingly complex economic and social challenges as public resources diminish. Society operates through networks while the public sector uses silos. The MaRS Solutions Lab works with governments, non-profits, businesses, academics and communities to tackle "wicked problems" and create system change around issues like chronic disease, public services, unemployment and food. The lab provides a space for collaborative experimentation and introduces new citizen-centered perspectives using principles of starting with citizens, creating with rather than for users, seeking small interventions with large impacts, and combining diagnosis, action and reflection to deliver improvements.
Technology has enabled many individuals and institutions to bring change to the communities they care about. Civil society organizations can view that as a threat or they can evolve to take advantage of these trends and the enabling technologies.

Covid-19 Webinar for Corporates: Rethinking Corporate Volunteering to support...Empact
The COVID-19 outbreak has undeniably impacted our social organisations – whether through a loss in donations or sales, cancellation of volunteering events, disruption in supplies, or forcing a push to innovate. As a result, non-profits and social enterprises are extremely concerned about their sustainability towards serving their respective communities.
In challenging times like these, corporates can definitely play a vital role in supporting these organisations by strengthening their capabilities and capacity through skills-based volunteering.
In this webinar, we share specific needs on-the-ground using the results of a Pulse Check conducted with our non-profit organisations and social enterprises. We also present corporate skills-based volunteering opportunities that may effectively contribute to their survival and sustainability.

Becoming Networked Nonprofits: What Nonprofit Leaders Need to Know to Succeed in Age of Connectedness
This document discusses how nonprofits need to adapt to an increasingly connected world by becoming networked nonprofits. It recommends that nonprofit leaders adopt a network mindset of openness, decentralized decision-making, and collective action. The document also presents a maturity of practice model for nonprofits with four levels - crawl, walk, run, fly - based on their use of social networks and measurement of results. Finally, it discusses the importance of managing attention online through mindfulness and establishing habits and rituals to stay focused.
I presented this to students in a Nonprofit Operations course at UCLA. Through analysis of a series of case studies, we explored how organizations are leveraging the power of new technologies to raise awareness and money -- and better handle crises.
This document discusses abundance theory and how exponential technologies can be used to address humanity's grand challenges. It outlines many programs and initiatives that can encourage using exponential technologies to solve issues like poverty, hunger, disease. These include volunteering, non-profits, social enterprises, impact investing, and more. The document also discusses ensuring technologies are developed and applied equitably and ethically to avoid issues like technological unemployment or widening inequality. The overall message is that with conscious application, exponential technologies have potential to create a world of abundance where basic needs are met for all.

Europe Regional Meeting 2019
13-14 September, 2019, Heraklion, Greece
This document provides an overview of Module 8 of a self-learning module on community engagement, solidarity and citizenship. It discusses the key concepts of power and leadership in community dynamics and processes. Power is defined as the ability to influence community processes and institutions, while leadership involves guiding a group towards goals. Different leadership styles like autocratic, democratic and laissez-faire are described. The roles of leaders and community members in working together towards stability and goals are also outlined.
This whitepaper describes the foundational principles, operating practices and culture of this network. This is the volunteer model that underpins the network and (through it) all actions of it. The whitepaper is for public consumption and will be available in public space for other organizations to emulate if they see the merit in these models.

How can we collaborate with people to help them build their resilience? Get under the skin of the culture and the lives people live. Identify people’s feelings and experiences of community and understand what people think is shaped by different values and by the environment and infrastructure around them. The future of collaboration could bring many opportunities but people find it more difficult to live and act together than before. How can we help people…and communities build their resilience? Understand people’s different situations and capabilities to develop pathways that help them build resilient relationships. Help people experience and practice change together. Help people grow everyday practices into sustainable projects. Turn people’s everyday motivations into design principles. Support infrastructure that connects different cultures of collaboration. Build relationships with people designing in collaboration for the future…now.

This document provides an overview of the "FAN Approach", which stands for "Free Actors in Networks". It emerged from a Dutch experiment involving networks of farmers working on sustainability initiatives. The key ideas are:
1. Networks cannot be managed like projects due to their voluntary nature and lack of hierarchy. They require a different "network approach" focused on motivating people rather than controlling tasks.
2. This approach centers around "Free Actors" who recognize destructive patterns in a network and work to restore connections. Their role is crucial for a network's health.
3. Tools of the FAN approach like the "Spiral of Initiatives" and "Network Analysis" help network members reflect on relationships,
BA and Beyond 19 Sponsor spotlight - Namahn - Beating complexity with complexityBA and Beyond
It’s a complex world full of complex problems- organisational change, the income inequality gap and digital transformation just to name a few.
The conventional way of combatting complexity to solve problems no longer works.
The great minds of Systemic Design have come together to create a unique and innovative toolkit designed to embrace complexity and change the way that we design solutions.
The first of its kind, the toolkit is based on academic research and human-centred design expertise. It is also the first to be endorsed by the Systemic Design Association and is truly changing the way that solutions are designed.
We invite you to come and discover how the Systemic Design Toolkit is driving a democratisation and transformation of the solutions design process for all stakeholders involved.
This document proposes establishing the Center for Systemic Solutions to apply systems engineering approaches to address societal problems. It argues that human society functions as a complex system and can benefit from tools that have improved technological systems. The Center would draw on expertise from specialized organizations to understand society, propose and test solutions, and support implementation decisions through open and transparent processes. This would help optimize society and foster the cooperation needed for its members to work together effectively.
Raising Awareness and Learning Practices of Citizens for Energy SavingsAndreas Kamilaris
Raising awareness about energy savings through social influence and feedback. The document discusses how awareness can be raised by focusing on the local level, using a project-based learning framework. Effective strategies include frequent feedback on energy usage, comparisons to historical usage and others', as well as social pressures like competitions and rankings. An online social energy project at NUS found that students responded best to comparisons, goal setting, and feedback on savings. Future work could personalize feedback strategies and better understand motivations for different groups.
The document discusses emergence and how it can be used to drive social innovation and change on a large scale. It describes emergence as networks of separate, local efforts connecting with each other and strengthening into communities of practice, which can then emerge as a new system with greater influence than the individual parts. The Berkana Institute aims to foster emergence intentionally by connecting pioneering social efforts through a four-stage process of naming, connecting, nourishing and illuminating these efforts. This allows small, local innovations to emerge into a global force for change. Emergence follows a lifecycle from networks to communities of practice and eventually powerful new systems, and understanding these dynamics can help social entrepreneurs scale their impact.
Introduction to Strategic Doing for Community DevelopmentEd Morrison
Strategic Doing developed at a very granular level: working on the complex challenges within neighborhoods and communities. This paper explores how this new approach for developing strategy can be used to strengthen communities.
This document provides an overview of organizational culture theories including Schein's model of organizational culture. Schein's model proposes that culture can be understood at three levels - artifacts, espoused values, and underlying assumptions. Artifacts are visible organizational structures and processes. Values are beliefs and behaviors that members believe are important. Assumptions are unconscious, taken-for-granted beliefs that determine how group members perceive, think, and feel. The document also discusses Deal and Kennedy's view of "strong cultures" as well as methods for studying organizational culture like ethnography.
Practical Applications for Social Network Analysis in Public Sector Marketing...Mike Kujawski
This document provides an overview of a presentation on practical applications of social network analysis. It discusses the growth of social data, defines social network analysis, and provides several use cases. It then outlines the presentation topics which include basics of reading sociograms, refining data, and applying SNA to public sector marketing. Examples of SNA applications to specific organizations are provided. Both free and paid tools for conducting SNA are also mentioned.
This document discusses designing cities to foster connection and regeneration. It argues that modernity has led to fragmentation and unsustainability that must be reversed by reweaving rich webs of synergistic relationships. This reconnection of social and environmental fabrics is a creative challenge for the future. While many partial solutions are proposed, they are often disconnected and lack a larger strategic framework informed by an inspiring vision of an alternative to the status quo. Facing the great challenges will require profound societal changes to foster sustainability.
This document provides an overview of advocacy and the advocacy process based on a training for citizens in local governance. It defines advocacy as strategic actions to influence those in power to implement policies that benefit less powerful groups. The advocacy cycle is described as having five steps: identifying problems, researching issues, planning goals and objectives, taking action, and evaluating results. Key aspects of advocacy discussed include understanding the spheres of influence in society, practicing good advocacy such as ensuring participation and accountability, playing different advocate roles, and analyzing the dimensions of power. The training concluded that small groups of committed citizens can create positive change through advocacy.
social networking individual vs. crowd behavior (connected intelligence)INFOGAIN PUBLICATION
The study of Human behavior is much more complicated in various situations, especially on the spectrum of Social Networks. The study of individual behavior cannot be replicated for a group/crowd behavior which can have many social and behavioral dimensions. In the connected world where intelligence is shared among individuals and groups, there exists another kind of complexity which needs to be examined.The complexity of human behaviors as an individual or as a group on the social networks is much more versatile and erratic. The research work studies and analyzes these behaviors in a connected networked intelligent environment and as to how these behaviors are reflected towards Connected Intelligence. Consequently it defines how they can affect the intelligent analytical outcomes. Finally it comes up with a generic model which can be applied in any setup.
The document summarizes the topics to be covered in a social marketing workshop, including segmentation, design thinking, pricing strategies, theories related to behavior change, and using social technologies and marketing mix elements. Segmentation involves identifying priority groups at highest risk or most open to change. Design considers compatibility with peoples' realities. Pricing examines both financial and non-financial costs and benefits. Theories help understand how to spread ideas through social networks. Social media can be used to overcome barriers and create scalable behavior change programs.
Architecting the Information of Society: From Projects to PursuitDan Cooney

This document discusses how to effectively communicate program impacts to intended users. It emphasizes the importance of:
1) Clarifying the specific impacts, or "of what" and "on what", through a well-defined program theory of change.
2) Understanding the intended users, or "for whom", by identifying their decision needs and how findings will be applied.
3) Designing impact evaluations and reports that meet the specific information needs of intended users so findings can be believed and applied to inform decisions.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
