Participants at CKX were among the first to hear the breakthrough concept from best selling author, strategist and disruptive thinker Don Tapscott (@dtapscott) on how institutions, companies and governments can unlock data, knowledge and ideas to create truly vibrant and open communities and cities in his keynote address.
Tapscott is ranked by Thinkers50 as the one of the most important management thinkers in the world. In his keynote address at CKX, presented by Manulife Asset Management, Tapscott shared a radically new concept of the city. What if institutions opened up and shared data, knowledge and ideas — everything from local government, public transportation, traffic, hospitals, universities, schools, shopping malls, to the power grid, research laboratories and community organizations. “We can create the city as a platform” says Tapscott, “supercharging entrepreneurship, jobs, prosperity, science, learning, sustainability, public safety and good government.”
The author or co-author of 15 books including Radical Openness, Macrowikinomics and Grown Up Digital, Tapscott explained how The Open City is not just a vision, it’s also within our reach.

Moogfest 2014 keynote Conscious-Technology, The Millennium Project, and an In...Jerome Glenn
We are merging with technology. We will become “Conscious-Technology” beings.
Google Glass, Internet of Things, heart pacemakers, the works! Voice recognition and voice synthesis with artificial intelligence imbedded through the built environment will make inanimate objects seem conscious. We will import advance tech in and on our bodies and export our consciousness to technology. These imports/export will seem to merge into a continuum of consciousness and technology. The quality of this merger will depend on how well we can blend our mystic-self with our technocratic self, as individuals and as a species. By mystic I simply mean one whose primary focus is improving life by enhancing consciousness; by technocrat I simply mean one whose primary focus for improving life is with new technologies and policies. We are all part mystic and part technocrat, but we tend to be more of one than the other. Seeking harmony, balance, synergy between the two seems right to me. Like the musician, instrument, and music merge in a great performance.
Merging the attitudes of the mystic toward life with the technocratic’s knowledge of life makes life work and be worthwhile.
Arts, media, and music technologies can be designed and used from a mystic attitude. Experiencing performances of such technologies should enhance our consciousness. From such enhanced consciousness new technologies can be conceived. And so on to become a more aesthetic future conscious-technology civilization.
The explosive, accelerating growth of knowledge in a rapidly changing and increasingly interdependent world gives us so much to know about so many things that it seems impossible to keep up. At the same time, we are flooded with so much trivial news that serious attention to serious issues gets little interest, and too much time is wasted going through useless information.

Open Data Innovation in Smart Cities: Challenges and TrendsEdward Curry
Open Data initiatives are increasingly considered as defining elements of emerging smart cities. However, few studies have attempted to provide a better understanding of the nature of this convergence and the impact on both domains. This talk examines the challenges and trends with open data initiatives using a socio-technical perspective of smart cities. The talk presents findings from a detailed study of 18 open data initiatives across five smart cities to identify emerging best practice. Three distinct waves of open data innovation for smart cities are discussed. The talk details the specific impacts of open data innovation on the different smart cities domains, governance of the cities, and the nature of datasets available in the open data ecosystem within smart cities.
Evolving TRIZ for the Sixth Wave of InnovationNavneet Bhushan
We have already entered or are entering the Sixth wave of Innovation by the year 2020. The current ongoing fifth wave of innovation started in 1990. It was driven by digital networks, software and new media, and is rapidly giving birth to the new wave. This new wave of innovation, we propose will be driven by (a) Networked, Autonomous and Hypersonic – Things, (b) Algorithmic intelligence and (c) Synthesized – Biology, Energy and Reality. However, our methods of thinking and inventing need to evolve in the sixth wave of innovation. TRIZ, that was developed during the 4th wave of innovation (1950-1990) driven by petrochemicals, electronics and aviation, missed its evolution journey in the fifth wave (current wave) that is about to give way to the sixth wave. TRIZ need to evolve by discovering new laws of system evolution and utilizing the “inventive energy” available from the previous five waves of innovation. This talk proposes evolving TRIZ through new laws of system evolution and new tools of System-Function Interactions so that it increases the inventive energy in the sixth wave of innovation.

Activos inteligentes: Liberando el potencial de la economía circularItziar Ruiz Mendiola
En 2020 habrá entre 25 y 50 billones (con b) de aparatos electrónicos conectados. Hoy en día existen 10 billones. Este Internet de las Cosas (Internet of the Things, IoT) ofrece oportunidades por valor de un trillón de dólares, y provocará mejoras en la producción y los procesos de distribución, pero, lo que es más importante, provocará un cambio significativo en el modo en el que se utilizan los productos. La transformación digital tiene el poder para redefinir las bases mismas de la economía basada en el consumo de materiales. Frente a este modelo, surge otro donde la conectividad es una nueva infraestructura que puede dar lugar a la Era de la Economía Circular.
Así se refleja este informe elaborado por Ellen MacArthur Foundation en colaboración con World Economic Forum y que ha contado con la participación de más de 30 organizaciones, entre las que figura Innobasque. El trabajo pone el acento en cómo acelerar innovaciones impulsadas por el mercado y ayudar a escalar la economía circular. Se focaliza en explicar cuáles son los facilitadores de esta economía circular, como las tecnologías digitales, que son demasiado grandes o complejas para ser superadas por un solo negocio, ciudad, gobierno o individuo.
How do you measure what matters in your community?
Rather than starting from scratch, one approach that’s gaining traction is using shared impact measurement tools like the Canadian Index of Wellbeing.
Hang on a second. What’s the Canadian Index of Wellbeing?
First and foremost, the CIW is a big idea that regards wellbeing as encompassing a wide variety of aspects of life, beyond economic measures like Gross Domestic Product (GDP). It’s also a tool that is measuring what matters to Canadians. It tracks wellbeing from year to year in an effort to offer clear, effective, and regular information on the quality of life of all Canadians.
In a series of Pecha-Kucha style presentations (each limited to 20 slides with 20 seconds per slide), you’ll learn how five organizations across Canada are working with the Canadian Index of Wellbeing to measure what matters in their communities. The presenters include:
Dan Wilson, Director, Policy, Planning and Performance, Ontario Trillium Foundation
Robert Janus, Director of Communications, Victoria Foundation
Barbara Powell, General Manager of Community Engagement, City of Guelph
Nancy Mattes, Director, Social Prosperity Wood Buffalo
Denise C. Squire, Executive Director, Woolwich Community Health Centre
After the rapid-fire overview, you’ll have a chance to take a bit of a deeper dive in a series of group discussions led by our presenters as we unpack the challenges of measuring impact and the potential benefits of shared or common measurement frameworks like the Canadian Index of Wellbeing.
It is rare for new ideas and insights to turn into successful programs on the first try. Even tested approaches don't always go as planned. Failure happens. The question is: How do we fail intelligently? How do we create space for innovation, build resilience, and harness the productive potential of our failures?
In this session, participants will explore what intelligent failure means in their context, participate in hands-on, interactive activities and engage and learn with peers to discover easy ways to apply intelligent failure practices that align with organizational needs. Participants will walk away with tangible skills, insights and actions that help them, and their organizations, fail better.

How can open data and traditional knowledge be combined to feed communities?
There is a huge opportunity to rescue the bounty of fruits and nuts which grow throughout Canadian cities and towns. Can a small army of foragers armed with smart phones and open data tree inventories harvest more food than a traditional apple farmer? We are getting close to finding out.
Join us to dig down to the roots of food waste in Canada as we look specifically at the fresh fruit & nuts that are growing on trees which are hiding in plain site. The concepts of gleaning, foraging and urban agriculture have recently been gaining a lot of momentum. Building a sustainable revenue model to fund such initiatives, however, is challenging in an environment where imperfect fruits are not valued as nutritious food unless they have been processed or prepared in an attractive fashion.
In this session we will discuss the realities of food production today, share some successes stories from fruit tree harvesting groups and work together to explore solutions to some of the biggest challenges when it comes to branching out and making good use of the food nature provides.
Does your organization plow ahead with research and evaluation with some trepidation around ethical considerations? Do you worry about how your research may affect participants? Are you unclear about where you can get support to address your research ethics concerns?
The Community Research Ethics Office (CREO) is here to help. Established in Kitchener, Ontario with the support of the Centre for Community Based Research and the Ontario Trillium Foundation, CREO’s mandate is to support researchers and organizations that do not have access to institutional Research Ethics Boards in undertaking community based research (CBR).
In this workshop, Pathways to Education showcases its new interactive mapping tool - a key component of its approach to program expansion and improvement, partner engagement, and community knowledge. By providing insights into educational attainment rates, poverty trends, and other indicators throughout Canada, the new data visualization tool is helping the organization build a thoughtful and demand-driven expansion strategy and ensure effective program offerings, multi-stakeholder collaboration, and greater issue awareness.
Session participants learned how the mapping tool is helping Pathways to Education understand unique socio-demographic contexts of existing and potential program sites, and how this type of tool can benefit other Canadian nonprofits, foundations, and the general public.
This session also outlined the challenges inherent in working with big data and highlight key insights gained from the project. The presenters shared specific examples of how the tool has already helped to spark conversations and raise awareness about the barriers and solutions facing at-risk youth and communities throughout Canada.
Our communities are facing complex challenges. Whether in areas such as housing, food security, youth employment or other areas, there are no silver bullets and no easy answers. Our capacity to solve these challenges is present, and is even stronger than ever. Only no single individual, group, organization or government can claim to have all the pieces required to solve these complex social challenges, but they can all contribute something. What is needed is to connect, assemble and test the pieces that together can help bring the solution.
This is exactly what social innovation labs do. In this CKX opening plenary, Joeri van den Steenhoven, Director of the MaRS Solutions Lab, shares his perspectives on the challenges communities face today and tomorrow, and why we need to think about systems change. He shows how labs work and how community knowledge - in its many forms - can and must be assembled, adapted and reconfigured to bring about the change we want in our communities.
What is the power of community knowledge? Using the analogy of LEGO, CKX Sherpa Lee Rose explore how different actors in a community (governments, community organizations, institutions, companies and individuals) already have all the pieces they need to address challenges and issues.
In short: You don't need new pieces - you need to find new ways to put the existing pieces together. That's the power of community knowledge
The free and open exchange of knowledge empowers people, promotes accountability and sparks creativity. However, publishing and using data for social good can sometimes have the opposite result: cautionary tales are shared in corridors and back channels about open data projects that empowered the powerful, endangered the powerless, and generally made things worse while honestly trying to help.
This session will present real life stories from the Dark Side of Data, and provide a conversation space for all those who wish to share their experiences of community data snafus, ranging from hilarious to perilous, with the goal of transparently learning from our failures, and empowering new projects with roadmaps on how to open and share responsibly.
Wellbeing Toronto is a dynamic map visualization tool that helps evaluate community wellbeing across Toronto's 140 neighbourhoods on a number of factors including as crime, transportation and housing. It’s used by decision-makers that need data to support neighbourhood level planning, residents that want information to better understand the communities they live, work, and play in; and businesses needing indicators to learn more about their customers.
But it’s more than just a map.
In this session, Wellbeing Toronto Project Manager Mat Krepicz takes you on a tour of Wellbeing Toronto and share candid insights on its development including key lessons learned, mistakes made, and preview what’s next for one of Canada’s most robust community indicator platforms.
How do we know the effect of our policies, programs and investments? By measuring it. We’re not always very good at it, we haven’t been doing it for long enough, or in enough fields, or with enough collaborations, but we’re getting better and more excited and there’s a whole lot going on in this space right now. In this presentation, Emma Tomkinson, a social impact analyst from Sydney, Australia, will showcase examples of collaborative work in social impact measurement from around the globe.
Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.
