I enjoy helping organizations create networks to collaborate with partners on common goals. My approach leverages good practices from the United Nations Knowledge Networks. Two of my current projects include: 1. Facilitating the development of a global communications strategy for the Compassionate Action Network. Our current tasks include answering key questions about the CAN organization and then we’ll conduct a “needs assessment” survey to define the requirements. 2. Advising the Environmental Education Association of Washington (EEAW) on a strategy to create an online network that will implement a statewide plan for environmental education. The stakeholders include government agencies at the local, city, and state levels, plus educators and other environmental activists. |

When you think about leadership in a self-organizing world, what questions are cooking you? What do you hope to learn at this gathering?: • In the past, I’ve worked with corporations and academic institutions, but when I developed a global wiki for Seeds of Compassion, I learned that working with volunteers requires a different set of skills. Our project went fairly smoothly and our spirits were buoyant, but I need to learn more about working with volunteers and self-organizing groups. • How can we effectively and efficiently leverage the “wisdom of crowds” to create positive change? I have some ideas from graduate work via the UN that I’m not sure how to implement. |
