News on The Edge
Welcome to the Social Edge update! In his 2010 Skoll World Forum speech, Jeff Skoll said: “Changing the world is a team sport, everyone has a role to play.” This is echoed by Peter Deitz, the social media expert who represented Social Edge last week at Oxford. He is convinced that delegates and speakers were drinking a top secret blend called Social Interpreneurship, “a new drink that’s two parts Internet, five parts Interaction, and ten parts Interdependence.” As he sees it, the sessions on social media and reimagining networks showed that the Internet culture is reshaping our field through open platforms and peer-to-peer communications. He also noticed that several sessions were designed for Interaction among delegates in small groups, tapping the immense renewable energy of activated smart people. As for the Interdependence piece, “plenary speakers, panelists, and audience questions reminded us that large scale impact requires a new appreciation and harnessing of the Interdependence of people, planet, and purpose.” Stranded in London with plenty of time to reflect on his Skoll experience, Peter Deitz now wonders whether we have evolved beyond social entrepreneurship and if the ascendance of Internet, Interaction and Interdependence should force us to reconsider our work. Join him on a conversation on Interpreneurship. Then contribute to the other discussions on crucial issues that were extensively raised at the 2010 Skoll World Forum: Collaboration, Talent and Impact. And follow the wonderful Oxford students who have been reporting diligently on every session, and four regular Social Edge contributors who also attended the 2010 Skoll World Forum: Kjerstin Erickson, Leila Chirayath Janah, Jonathan Lewis and Untangled. Collaboration. Talent. Impact. Internet. Interaction. Interdependence. Eyjafjallajökull! When the dust settles, we will all remember the 2010 Skoll World Forum!
