Texas Network Fall 2010 Adjournment |
|
The social and network reorientation of work,
business and society is accelerating. The social network transformation
has fundamentally altered the business landscape, enterprise management,
governance and civil society. The Texas Network Action/Research
leadership retreat will equip you with the methods, techniques,
technologies and relationships to prosper in the new world of networks.
The Texas Network is a professional community and event network for the greater
Dallas-Fort Worth region and the state of Texas. All are welcome. The
themes for your Spring 2010 retreat are knowledge networks, social
media, social network applications and network analysis.
Over the last several years network archetypes and
network analysis have exploded onto the KM, collaboration, community,
organizational and institutional scene. Social network software and
applications are everywhere. Relatively mature and established
discipline, social networks and network analysis are now being applied
broadly with stunning results. A lot of new, network applications have emerged
and innovative practices have been discovered. See Figure One.
The non-commercial, open,
low-cost and authentic Fall 2010 Texas Network action/research
conversations will cover this territory and equip you with some of the following benefits and
advantages.
-Understand some of the opportunities and
pitfalls of social networks and Web & Enterprise 2.0
-Learn about the synergy of social
networks and business
-Develop relationships with social network leaders and users
-Become active in the social network, Web & Enterprise 2.0 and SNA community
-Transform yourself and organizations to the social networks orientation
and perspective
The Texas Network is 100% governed, sponsored and led
by participants.
People propel organizations. Networks are how people and organizations
are defined. Knowledge work is social. Yet, well-meaning people continue
to focus on information access, transactions, process, frameworks and
productivity only. The same people freely admit 80%, 90% or even 100%
(service/support networks) of their business is based on social network
interactions and intangibles, yet they continue to only focus on
transactions and tangibles!
People and knowledge span artificial and administrative organizational
boundaries. For most, work and wealth creation now have a complete
social orientation. It is time to reorient all knowledge-based
activities to the concept of social networks.
Innovation is a hot topic today. Innovation is
important only as far as it creates benefits. Many innovation and
productivity initiatives create little/no true advantage. Only through
deliberate network mapping and visualization can relationship benefits
be uncovered, expanded and led. It is beneficial outcomes that drives
innovation. All innovation inhabits and depends on networks. Innovation
is not about product features, productivity, transactions or
efficiencies. It is about understanding and delivering the network
patterns and models that deliver optimal outcomes.
No one ever bought a product or recommended a company because the
company was ‘productive.’ Customers expect and deserve broad benefits
and advantages from their social relationships. To win, keep and
strengthen customers and business, social networks must be visualized,
led and mastered.
Networks are omnipresent. They are instrumental in achieving
breakthrough outcomes for all human activities, not just business. Many
non-profits, government agencies, NGO and institutions are adopting
organizational and social network archetypes to advance their missions
and create spectacular outcomes.
