POWERING THE EDGES
an interactive conversation with Allison Fine
author of Momentum: Igniting Social Change in the Connected Age
Jointly presented by:
PlaNetwork
Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility
and The Symbolic Systems Program at Stanford
Momentum outlines a new, open way of working, what Allison calls in her book "working side-to-side" that allows citizens and volunteers to participate in meaningful ways like never before. "To succeed," Allison writes, "we don't have to get bigger, just smarter, more agile, and more open. We need not become techies to do this, just more connected."
For the first part of the evening Allison will talk about some of the key themes in her book:
* Move power to the edges.
* Replace top-down with a more democratic, side-to-side style.
The second half of the evening the audience will discuss these questions raised by Allison's presentation. We will close with networking.
