Data fluency in the age of surveillance capitalism
This document discusses the challenges of data fluency and surveillance capitalism. It notes that while data is everywhere and influences many decisions, people's capacity to understand and work with data has not kept pace. This has led to inequity as companies know more about data collection than customers. The document calls for public-private collaboration on data ethics that considers both societal and monetary value. It examines what responsible data stewardship, strong privacy protections, and living company values might look like. The goal is to promote awareness and democratize data use for decision-making.
The Wisdom Of Clouds
The document discusses complex problems that are difficult to solve using logic alone, like the weather or human organizations. It argues that complex problems require creativity, innovation, and looking at issues from many perspectives. Drawing on research, it claims that groups with diverse perspectives can outperform groups of very intelligent people who think alike. The document advocates using a Wisdom Council, an old democratic form, to solve complex challenges by considering multiple perspectives and tapping collective intelligence.

Mapping media literacy to media education: a transferable methodology
This document outlines a study that tested a methodology for assessing media literacy, education, and civic capability. The methodology involved a 3-stage process of survey profiling, critical analysis, and a creative civic engagement task. The study applied this methodology to students in a UK media studies class and found that while media studies students had a more developed vocabulary for discussing media, they were not inherently more critical or civically engaged. The document concludes by discussing how this methodology could be implemented across the EU to assess media literacy in different countries and cultures.

“Living A Spirit Filled Life"
[Romans8:12-17; Ephesians 5:15-21] — Clearly the Bible teaches that the Holy Spiirit indwells, influences and leads the child of God. The question is how does the Bible, (the Holy Spirit’s revelation) tell us He does it. — AUDIO PART 1 / AUDIO PART 2 / PPT / KEYNOTE / PDF - 12/25/2016
Commonwealth1
The document outlines the timeline of key events in the development of the Commonwealth of Nations from 1884 to 1949. It starts with Lord Rosebery coining the term "Commonwealth of Nations" in 1884 and discusses the first Colonial Conference in 1887 which led to regular Imperial Conferences. By 1926, the UK and dominions agreed they were equal and independent in domestic and foreign affairs while united under the Crown. The first Commonwealth Games were held in 1930 and the 1931 Statute of Westminster gave legal independence to several nations. After India became a republic in 1949, the London Declaration allowed republics to remain members while acknowledging the British monarch as Head of the Commonwealth.

The student worked on cutting panels to support the top of their design project. They measured and marked the wood using a tri-square and pencil, then cut the panels using a tenon saw and pull saw. The student was able to cut 4 panels in 10-15 minutes, faster than previous cuts, and has one panel left to cut before sanding. The lesson required measuring, marking, and cutting skills the student had already practiced.
03 wrath of_god_against_jews
The document summarizes key points from Romans 1:18-3:20. It discusses how all people, both Jews and Gentiles, are guilty of sin before God and in need of salvation. While Jews had knowledge of God's law, they did not practice it and were condemned as well. The law showed that sin is universal and that no one can be justified by works of the law alone. All stand condemned before God and in need of the gospel of Christ, which is the only hope for salvation through faith.
Lessons on Creating a Movement
I delivered this presentation to the undergraduate DesignMatters class at Art Center College of Design. The class is embarking on an effort to "create a movement" that inspires future investment in ocean exploration. The talk explores key lessons I've learned from my work in organizational change and employee engagement - and how we can think about driving systemic change through empowered local communities.
'Leadership', 'management' and other sorry excuses for treating people like crap
The document discusses alternative views of leadership and management that move away from traditional hierarchical models. It argues that leadership is not an inherent quality but can be learned. Effective organizations encourage self-organization, shared meaning, autonomy, and risk-taking rather than relying on experts, strategies, or carrots and sticks. Complex systems thrive on flexibility, trust, diversity, communication, and reflection rather than control. True leadership involves hosting rather than heroics and creating the conditions for people to determine their own actions.

Feed Forward Stories: towards open research and policy making for better publ...
Feed Forward Stories: connecting research, policy and practice
The boy who got lost in debts and piles of papers while lacking a postal address to start his debt cancellation procedure, and thus his new life. The policy maker who has good connections but lacks the numbers and stories to take grounded action. The youth professional who bounces back and forth between providing what the boy needs, and what the bureaucratic rules and laws of civic administrator offices ask. The academic who wants to provide meaningful insights but is stuck with an academic ‘publish or perish’ system. All of these people live in one city, but their stories are disconnected. However they all want the same: better lives for citizens. Feed Forward Stories is an inclusive research methodology that connects stories of citizens and stories of people operating in systems (ie. schools, social and public services, municipality) to start new actions. In this talk Marlieke Kieboom (Kennisland) introduces the vision, the work principles and the methodology behind Feed Forward Stories.
Think manage-and-lead-systemically1
The document discusses the limitations of focusing leadership development solely on individuals and argues that a systemic approach is needed. It notes that concentrating development on individuals does not significantly improve the organization, and that what happens between individuals is more important. The key points made are:
1) Organizations are systems and succeed when the entire system succeeds as an integrated whole, not just based on the success of individual managers.
2) Focusing too much on developing individuals neglects improving the organizational system surrounding them.
3) Many leadership and organizational failures are due to systemic issues rather than flaws in individual leaders.
4) To truly improve leadership and address challenges, one must think systemically and examine the entire organizational system and
AI and the Future of Communities - 2024 Human Futures Conference
This document discusses how AI may impact communities in various ways and raises questions about its effects. It uses brief case studies on the future of work, academic research on AI, and potential AI systems in areas like education, transportation and public health to illustrate both potential benefits and unknowns. The key challenge is that data does not exist at the community level to fully understand AI's impacts. More holistic research is needed that considers communities as complex systems within broader systems and how tools like ChatGPT could help build new communities of practice to investigate these issues.
Collaborative Networks Understanding the possibilities for Detroit
This document proposes developing a collaborative network for organizations in Detroit to address challenges. It discusses:
1) Grassroots non-profits have been leading revitalization efforts but lack formal collaboration. A network could foster cooperation.
2) Detroit has strong social capital from engaged residents and non-profits. This provides a foundation to build relationships through a network.
3) A working group of stakeholders could guide initial network planning, ensuring community needs are met through diverse representation.
CV OF Coudhry Babar
This document discusses corporate integrity and leadership from a civic perspective. It defines corporations as purposeful human organizations made up of communication patterns between employees. Corporations exist within larger systems and their purpose depends on their role in these systems. The economy is embedded within civil society. A civic perspective views corporate members as citizens and judges corporate decisions by civic norms like reciprocity, justice, and care. This perspective questions whether leaders can have integrity in corporations that lack integrity as determined by the integrity of interpersonal relationships within the organization.
Applying Utilitarianism and Social Contract TheoryFor this assig.docx
Applying Utilitarianism and Social Contract Theory
For this assignment, you will take an example from a current news-article online or in print, or from a political, legal or educational institution, business you work for, neighborhood or civic association, club, etc., of 1) utilitarian ethics and 2) social contract ethics in action (one example of each).
This could be a policy, a constitutional law, a mission statement, or an action taken by an institution or people within an institution that exemplifies these theories operating in public life. (You might, for instance, describe how a club you are a member of came to a decision about some activity that it was considering—did they put this to a vote? Was it a matter of relying on the club’s rules or charter? Etc.? Or you might consider how a dispute between employees was resolved where you work—Did they hold a meeting to see what everyone thought? Did a supervisor render a decision that was binding on everyone? Etc.? Or you might note how your national or local government is deciding what to do about a current problem –are they holding public meetings and then voting? Is the court-system deciding? The legislature? Etc.?) Describe these and consider how they are, and perhaps are not, examples of social contract theory and utilitarianism in practice.
You will give two examples—one for each theory. Write about
a page for each theory/example
. In your reflection paper entry, write about each example:
How this is an example of utilitarianism or social contract theory.
Whether this is /was effective in establishing good and fair relations among those it concerned. (Cite the source of this example and/or the organization/institution and/or the event, meeting, etc, at which this took place)
.

Midterm review
The document provides an overview and review of key concepts for a midterm exam on media and technology:
1) According to media scholar Mark Deuze, we live in media and derive our sense of identity from it, not outside of it.
2) People in a "media life" focus on crafting a good, responsible, and beautiful experience of existing fully within media environments.
3) Media convergence allows audiences to participate in content creation and experience stories across multiple platforms, with each platform contributing part of the overall narrative.
4) Media industries appeal to emotions to engage audiences in "free labor" that makes them both loyal consumers and participants.

Article edited - six practices of high impact nonprofits
The article summarizes a study of 12 highly successful nonprofits that were able to create significant social change. The study identified 6 key practices these nonprofits employed: 1) Advocating for policy change while also providing services, 2) Leveraging market forces to achieve social goals, 3) Inspiring volunteers and donors as evangelists for the cause, 4) Building networks with other nonprofits rather than seeing them as competition, 5) Adapting strategies based on feedback, and 6) Sharing leadership throughout the organization and with partner groups. These practices allowed the nonprofits to achieve far greater impact than their own resources or size would suggest.

Supporting Community Action (Burkett) - FCDL Workshop
The document discusses lessons from community development in Australia. It notes the history and context of community development practice in Australia, which differs from other places due to factors like vast distances and urban/rural differences. It introduces the concept of an "ecology of organizing" involving social service organizations, community organizations, and people's organizations all playing different but interconnected roles. An example of addressing financial exclusion illustrates this. Key lessons highlighted include people's organizations being strongest when building from existing relationships and identifying community strengths and assets from the start. While important, people's organizations also need connections to larger organizations and systems to create real change and pathways out of disadvantage.
Learning Network: Community Weaver
The document discusses the skills and mindset of a successful community weaver or network weaver.

Discussion #1
How does systems thinking apply to an organization’s culture, goals, and structures?
First, one of the greatest aspects of our country is the ability to provide opportunity; one of the saddest part of our country is when that opportunity forgets its original mission, serving others. I make these arguments for this post this week because I ask my fellow peers: how does system thinking (ST) create a space that hinders and destroys its’ original goal? Well, let me first begin by examining the recent closure of over sixty-three Sam Club stores in the United States on Friday, January 12, 2018. According to CNBC, “Walmart is taking prudent steps to prepare for the next generation of retail warfare” (Thomas and Wells, 2018). However, what Walmart fails to the report is the number of employees who went to work yesterday and with no warning, lost their jobs! Whose best interest is at heart? The employee or the stakeholders?
Secondly, I would argue that organizational culture produces an organizational climate; in terms of communication, basically, how communication interactions are positively or negatively carried in a culture, they can have an incredible impact on the climate. An organizational climate can be reciprocal and can clearly influence a culture – look again, at Walmart Sam Club store closings. Thus, I posit this question: what does the leader have an ability to execute? Next, how well can they sell that vision?
According to our text, authors, Uhl-Bien, Schermerhorn, and Osborn (2014) elucidate, “one of the most accepted conclusions of scientific research to date is that there is no single best way to handle people and the situations that develop as they work together in organizations” Uhl-Bien., et.al, 2014). Thus, for the staff at Walmart the transformation process was ignored and employees (and yes, some stakeholders) were deeply affected by the lack of transparency executed by ST in a clear and evidently broken system. Sadly, socioeconomic class plays a vital role in a lot of decision making for larger corporations in terms of whom they decided to provide goods and services to consumers.
How are the stakeholders in an organization interconnected and interrelated?

Km melbourne facilitating employee online co ps
Xerox technicians solved problems by sharing experiences and insights with each other rather than using manuals. They formed an informal community of practice where new knowledge was co-created when solving issues. Management later tried formalizing this by creating online communities, but technicians did not feel engaged until a community was formed that encouraged their participation and focused on their needs rather than extracting knowledge. Effective communities form organically around shared interests and specialties rather than being imposed from above.

Leadership: a body without a head, a web without a spider
As usual, some of these slides will mean nothing if you're not hearing me narrate and ask questions along the way, but this was a Birkbeck College session about thinking of leadership as a collective, rather than individual concept. Bits of complexity, social media and self-organised networks stuff in there too... and Slideshare didn't like some of my fonts... c'est la vie!
ECF2011: 'Human’ is the new ‘professional'
Imagine you're at the pub with your mates and someone says: 'Alright, who's minuting? Have we got an agenda here?'. Or you're at the dinner table with your partner and they produce a legal writ requiring you to devulge 'what you did at work today'. There's an inclination as organisations, to take many of the same approaches we have used for years in more traditional media, into the social media sphere. But the landscape has changed. And our organisations need to be able to adapt to them. If we want to inspire, enrage, or mobilise our supporters through the range of mediums available to us, we have to break down a lot of our organisation's traditional ways of doing things; making jokes on Twitter, having casual conversations, sharing stuff that others have posted (even if we didn't create it)... Our organisations very structures often get in the way of this kind of communications. What can we do to facilitate a more 'human' face to our campaigns, especially when there are serious pressures to continue with the more sterile approaches of press releases and policy briefings?

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
