The meta change
The dawn of a new era?
The cost of connecting continues to drop First time in history we have

What will emerge is unknown.

The social web is not a “communications vehicle” it is a collection of tools and communities.
Conversations are occurring all over the place. You do not have control of the message.
However, you can engage and influence.

Health perspectives
• Social Focus: – Rapid communications– Tools to self manage– Shared experiences
•Professional Focus: – Share and collaborate– Find radical efficiencies
These will happen with, or without you
These will only happen with your commitment.

Trying to improve collaboration I had a “bright idea” so I posted in to my blog and tweeted about it.
Some friends thought it was good
Others were not so sure
This conversation took place on word press and twitter over 10 days and unknown time zones. Winter 2010.
They pointed me to an expertAnd then someone unknown to me, changed my thinking.
Who pushed me to look deeper.
Example: Obscure but specific question

As part of a project an issue of interpretation arose and I needed to get an

The Five Habits of Highly Effective Hives
1. Remind members of their shared interests and foster mutual respect, so they work together productively.
2. Explore diverse solutions to the problem, to maximize the group's likelihood of uncovering an excellent option.
3. Aggregate the group's knowledge with frank debate 4. Minimize the leader's influence on the group's thinking. 5. Balance interdependence (information sharing) and independence
(absence of peer pressure) among the group's members.
