As connections to others (and to knowledge and perspective) accelerates due to global internet connectivity, my eyes have been opened and I’m constantly scanning for dots to inform, guide, engage, educate and to stimulate my intellect — and to ultimately connect.
One such dot hit me while reading Jeff Clavier’s post that the Stanford Center for Social Innovation (SCSI) podcast ‘channel’ is debuting tonight on Doug Kaye’s Conversation Networks’ Social Innovation Conversations channel.
Big ideas, important research, thought leaders, conversation, debate, teaching and action is the focus of SCSI and much of this will undoubtedly emerge through the content delivered by the Social Innovation Conversations (and other venues). As SCSI states on their About page:
“Through research, teaching and engagement, CSI works with socially concerned leaders and their organizations to confront difficult challenges. The Center leverages Stanford’s knowledge, expertise and networks, bringing community leaders together with our faculty, alumni and students to illuminate and address social problems. The Center undertakes an integrated set of activities designed to enhance the leadership, management, and organizational capacity of individuals and organizations who strive to create social and environmental value.”
Vision, knowledge and conversation is interesting but meaningless without action which begs the question: Why should you care?
