It also discusses how "networked nonprofits" operate differently than traditional nonprofits by engaging people beyond their walls, focusing on relationships, and co-creating solutions through partnerships. The document advocates for a people-centered approach that leverages networks and enables meaningful participation.
When you combine the concept of outsourcing with the power of Internet-connected individuals, you have Crowd Sourcing. Companies are using crowd sourcing to raise funds for a start-ups, get product ideas for the next line of merchandise, and to solve problems that seem too big for the organization.
How can your company utilize crowd sourcing? In this workshop we will explore the following “crowd” topics and discuss how you can take advantage of this new technology-enabled workforce:
• Crowd Funding and Capital Raising
• Crowd Creativity and Idea/Content Generation
• Crowd Wisdom, Problem-solving and Decision-making
• Crowd Work
We’ll also discuss how to get your organization “crowd sourcing ready” so that when you find the right problem for this solution, you can jump right in with confidence.
Learning Objectives
What is CrowdSourcing and how can it apply to your business
How to use the “crowd” to get new ideas and designs for your organization
How CrowdFunding can be used to raise capital for research and development
How Network Orgs and Free Agents Are Reinvigorate Social ChangeJason Mogus
Network organizations are reinvigorating change organizing by embracing a more networked approach that is better suited to today's digital world. These "networked nonprofits" operate using a social, transparent, and simple model that centers people and relationships. They engage supporters in co-creating solutions through open sharing and collaboration beyond organizational walls. While this high engagement model maps well to web values, network organizations also face limitations in areas like long-term policy work that require institutional scale and expertise.

The document discusses the rise and potential fall of crowdsourcing. It notes that while some crowdsourcing initiatives have been successful, not all live up to expectations. Barriers to success include difficulties making people aware of initiatives, getting people to contribute, and keeping contributors engaged over time. As more crowdsourcing sites emerge, they will compete for limited crowd resources, potentially decreasing participation rates. Only initiatives that offer high rewards or connect to major brands may sustain long-term business models relying solely on crowdsourcing. While crowdsourcing shows promise, many initiatives are likely to fail due to challenges in participant awareness, engagement, and retention.
Crowdfunding has grown significantly in recent years and is challenging traditional banks and other financial institutions in their role of financing new businesses and projects. In Sweden alone, several fintech companies focusing on areas like payments, lending, and cryptocurrency have been successfully crowdfunded. The document discusses the different types of crowdfunding and provides statistics on the growth and size of the global crowdfunding industry. It also examines some of the opportunities and challenges of crowdfunding, including its potential role in democratizing access to capital.
Social media is increasingly prevalent in both personal and professional lives. Over half of UK adults use social networks, and nearly all employees use social media for work. While many organizations block social media access, fewer will do so in the future. Social media allows for new forms of collaboration and value creation through crowdsourcing, crowdfunding, social customer care, and open leadership. Adopting social practices can improve knowledge sharing, problem solving, innovation, and employee engagement. Organizations that embrace social media may see benefits like new products and revenue, better business outcomes, and lower employee turnover.

Communities of Practice: a strategy for more effective collaborationCollabor8now Ltd
Steve Dale presented on using communities of practice (CoPs) as a strategy for more effective collaboration in local government. Local government in England and Wales employs over 2 million people across 367 authorities to deliver 700 services with an annual budget of over £106 billion. A 3-year knowledge management strategy started in 2005 to utilize CoPs to bring new knowledge into organizations and grow existing knowledge. The strategy involved various planning and piloting phases from 2005-2007 and has led to over 85,000 people registered across 1,500 CoPs. Lessons learned emphasize that technology should enable rather than dictate collaboration and communities need facilitation to succeed.

Beyond Vanity Metrics: Toward better measurement of member engagementMobLab
We all want to know if the work we do is making a difference. But while "vanity metrics" such as list size or pageviews sound big and impressive, they can be misleading. Ultimately, they can lead to flawed decisions that doom membership-driven organizations.
What are the pitfalls of “vanity metrics”? Why do we rely on them? What are some alternatives? In short, are there better ways to measure how engaged members are with your organization?
These are just a handful of the questions tackled in the new report, “Beyond Vanity Metrics: Toward a Better Measurement of Member Engagement,” presented by Citizen Engagement Lab and the Mobilisation Lab at Greenpeace.

Our job was to assess how well things are going – to look at areas’ progress and whether Big Local is starting to make a difference, and what kinds of things have helped and hindered areas in their Big Local journeys. At heart our big question was - is Big Local working? To answer that and lots of other questions, we heard from over 400 of the people most involved in making Big Local happen and studied the progress being made in more than 100 Big Local areas.

This document summarizes a presentation given by Ismo Heikkila on effectively managing community wealth. The presentation discusses establishing community priorities and managing change through communication strategies and financial education programs. It emphasizes building community capacity to enhance decision making for growing wealth today and preserving it for the future. The presentation covers topics like managing change, literacy, financial education, communication, and Appreciative Inquiry. It stresses taking a community-based approach to capacity building using frameworks like CIRCLE that incorporate Western concepts and community research.
Network organizations are reinvigorating change organizing by embracing a more networked approach that is better suited to today's digital world. These "networked nonprofits" operate using a social, transparent, and simple model that centers people and relationships. They engage supporters in co-creating solutions through open sharing and collaboration beyond organizational walls. While this high engagement model maps well to web values, network organizations also face limitations in areas like long-term policy work that require institutional scale and expertise.

In this session, you’ll learn what philanthropy is learning from the newer fields of neuroscience, cognitive science, and behavioral economics. And, you’ll learn tips for helping your staff, board, yourself, and your grantees make more informed decisions.

Impact Investing: Funder Readiness in Southwest Pennsylvania and West VirginiaTony Macklin
This document summarizes a study on the readiness of foundations in Southwestern Pennsylvania and West Virginia for impact investing. It finds that while a few foundations actively engage in impact investing, most lack expertise, capacity or focus on financial returns alone. Key barriers include investment philosophies, lack of information and perceived barriers. However, there are opportunities such as education, co-investments, advisory services, investee capacity building and creating a regional impact investing network. The report asks foundations for advice on advantages, concerns and roles to grow impact investing in the region.
This document discusses different models of grantmaking strategies that foundations can employ, including responsive, strategic, proactive, collaborative, and initiative strategies. It provides examples of each model and explains that foundations can overlap or combine multiple strategies. The document also emphasizes that foundation strategy is a framework for decision-making focused on the external context and intended outcomes, rather than being a rigid plan. It is not linear, does not imply total control, and should leverage the foundation's own expertise and resources rather than trying to control all factors.
