Working Wikily - Social Change with a Network Mindset


While browsing the web trying to find some business plans to analyze for the class, I stumbled upon this blog. Working Wikily.

The blog was created by the Monitor Insitute, which is an entity that aims (as they would say in their own words) "to help innovative leaders develop and achieve sustainable solutions to significant social and environmental problems". They do this by giving consultancy, serving as a think tank of new trends, and being an incubator of new approaches and ideas.

The Working Wikily blog has the purpose "of providing practitioners in the social sector with a filter for the events that are pushing the field towards a more networked form of work and a perspective on how and why those events are unfolding".

In our case, this becomes relevant since we are doing a Master in Design For Social Business. We work inside the social sector, and the first part of this module was about setting a collaborative environment in order to approach any project in general (in this case our own experience of learning what is social business).

Networking is working in collaboration with others, building channels in which relationships are established and new ideas and ways of working are bred. This blog contains a lot of relevant articles, resources, and links that we may find useful in this new adventure we are taking part of...

For starters I leave you with a link where you can download their paper Working Wikily 2.0 in which they create the whole frame set for this approach to social innovation.

Enjoy!
