NetWorkShop: Boston Facilitators RoundtablePatti Anklam
The NetWorkShop offers a new perspective – a network lens – that sheds light on how human networks are structured and how technologies can enhance our ability to collaborate and co-create. For facilitators, it offers possibilities of new ways of thinking about client work as well as leadership coaching.
This workshop provides a clear presentation of basic network concepts, including:
· Reflective exercises in creating and interpreting network maps of relationships (organizational and personal) using network concepts
· An introduction to value networking analysis, with a focus on mapping roles and deliverables (gives and gets) in an organizational ecosystem
· A short overview of how social media (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn) is altering the landscape of how people create and work in networks.
Finding The Voice of A Virtual Community of PracticeConnie White
Critical components for a successful Community of Practice (CoP) are that: 1) the community members have a space where their voice can be heard and that, (2) the proper technology is given to them to aid in this effort. We describe a Dynamic Delphi system under development which interprets the group’s voice in the creation of information during the initial start up phases when cultivating a CoP. Community members’ alternatives are explored, justified and debated over periods of time, and best reflect the group’s opinion at any moment in time where collective intelligence will be created from the interactions amongst group members. The system could handle a wide variety of types of decisions reflecting the diversity of goals given a CoP including emergency response actions, prediction markets, lobbying efforts, any sort of problem solving, making investment suggestions, etc. Pilot studies indicate that the group creates a greater number of better ideas. Ongoing studies are described, including applications to emergency management planning and response. They demonstrate that implementing a Dynamic Delphi system will prove conducive for building the initial repertoire of ideas, rules, policies or any other aspect of the community’s ‘voice’ that should be heard, in such a way that the individual voices are juxtaposed in harmony to create a single song.
Practical Applications for Social Network Analysis in Public Sector Marketing...Mike Kujawski
Over the past decade there has been a growing public fascination with the complex connectedness of modern society. This has been driven in large part by the wide availability of public digital data produced through our daily interactions on the modern social web. This data can now easily be mined and analyzed to produce valuable and actionable business insights leading to better decision making in nearly every field of practice, especially marketing and communications. In this presentation, Joshua Gillmore and Mike Kujawski introduce the basics of social network analysis and some of the privacy related challenges that this rapidly growing space brings with it. Focus of this deck is on public sector organizations.

Networks, swarms and policy: what collective intelligence means for policy ma...Alberto Cottica

I address the implications of these phenomena for policy making, and look at some tools being built by a project called CATALYST that might help both citizens and policy makers.

“Creating a Global Movement for Changemaking: Fulbright and Beyond”Kara Andrade
What kinds of experiences shape young people to be changemakers, people with the skills and commitment to “dare themselves to act” for positive social change? At Ashoka, we seek to spark a global movement where Everyone is a Changemaker. To achieve this vision, we partner with the most cutting-edge leaders with high-level global impact potential. The Fulbright program produces high caliber leaders by fostering cross-cultural understanding and action. We believe that to succeed in today’s world as a changemaker, everyone needs to learn these essential skills.

Through their own stories of social change, they shed light on how their Fulbright grants directly contributed to their dedication to creating experiences that unleash the power of young people to make a difference and succeed in our changing world.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
