The Economics of Change


Social Change

Awareness of climate change

Media generated debate on issues in society

A move back to community roots

Empowering the individual to lead change in the community


Social Change

Corporate Social Responsibility as a strategy, not a cost

Individuals participating to catalyse change

Community focus in not for profits

“The new currency won’t be intellectual capital. It will be social capital –the collective value of whom we know and what we’ll do for each other.”

—James Kouzes, co-author of The Leadership Challenge

………the new face of Knowledge


So what is Social Capital?

“In sum, it is the value people produce when they work together to achieve mutual goals. It emerges when people build trust, a shared understanding, and a willingness to cooperate in ways that produce something greater than the sum of their parts”

Robin Athey – Its 2008: Do You Know Where Your Talent Is? Connecting People for Performance

So what does this mean for Knowledge?

The value is not in the delivery of knowledge, but in the alchemy of knowledge, in the ability to connect thoughts that weren't previously connected
