Kick-Off Breakfast: The Human Networks Festival

The Conference

In the face of growing complexity and shared challenges, humans are innovating about how we come together to explore the solutions. "New power operates differently, like a current. It is made by many. It is open, participatory, and peer-driven. It uploads, and it distributes. Like water or electricity, it’s most forceful when it surges. The goal with new power is not to hoard it but to channel it." Jeremy Heimans & Henry Timms, Understanding "New Power".

Framing Questions

At the Human Networks Festival we bring together international networks and organisations that work with networked dynamics for new business models and organisational design. We will explore why networks are relevant and how the industrial paradigm is giving way to innovative, open and contributive organisations.

Vision

The old industrial paradigm is giving way to new ways of innovating and creating impact. The organisations of the future are decentralised and networked, and their contributive business models are based around platforms and ecosystemic collaboration.

Human networks, systems thinking, collaboration, stigmergy, emergence, collective intelligence, purpose-driven entrepreneurship, intrapreneurship, communities, networked organisations, platforms, decentralised trust, decentralised power, new power, open source, shared governance, open government.

"When many citizens and organisations band together in pursuit of common objectives they generate new kinds of power, agency, and innovation." Indy Johar, Ten Key Ingredients for Collective Impact
