Paul Polak's The 12 Steps to Practical Problem Solving - Paul Polak at 77 years old over the last 30 years has developed products that have taken over 17 million people out of poverty | http://www.ideorg.org/ | http://other90.cooperhewitt.org/

Go where the action is. “Spend significant time with your customers. This is how you learn what they need,” he says. Not hours, days. Polak lived with his farmers for 6 months.
Interview at least 100 customers a year. You do it. Not an employee. Listen to what they have to say. “Too many entrepreneurs build the product they want to build — not the one that’s needed.”
Context matters. If your solution isn’t right for the context, for example, if it costs too much for the customers you’re trying to serve, you won’t succeed.
Think big. Act big.
Think like a child.
See and do the obvious. Others won’t, which is opportunity for you.
Leverage precedents. If somebody has already invented it, don’t do it again.
Scale. Your business must have potential to scale. Remember, your market must include at least 1 million customers.
Design to specific cost and price targets. Not the other way around. (Celeste: it means — Do not price to your design, design to the price you need to hit to make your product appropriate to your customer.).
Follow practical three-year plans. Two years is too short. Ten is too long.
Visit your customers again. And again. “Any successful business in this country is based on talking to your customers all the time. A good CEO spends half his time ‘in the field.’”
Stay positive. Don’t be distracted by what other people think.

Grameen Banks Ten Indicators to Assess Poverty Level - a member is considered to have moved out of poverty if her family fulfills the following criteria | http://www.grameen-info.org/

The family lives in a house worth at least Tk. 25,000 (twenty five thousand) or a house with a tin roof, and each member of the family is able to sleep on bed instead of on the floor.
Family members drink pure water of tube-wells, boiled water or water purified by using alum, arsenic-free, purifying tablets or pitcher filters.
All children in the family over six years of age are all going to school or finished primary school.
Minimum weekly loan installment of the borrower is Tk. 200 or more.
Family uses sanitary latrine.
Family members have adequate clothing for every day use, warm clothing for winter, such as shawls, sweaters, blankets, etc., and mosquito-nets to protect themselves from mosquitoes.
Family has sources of additional income, such as vegetable garden, fruit-bearing trees, etc., so that they are able to fall back on these sources of income when they need additional money.
The borrower maintains an average annual balance of Tk. 5,000 in her savings accounts.
Family experiences no difficulty in having three square meals a day throughout the year, i. e. no member of the family goes hungry any time of the year.
Family can take care of the health. If any member of the family falls ill, family can afford to take all necessary steps to seek adequate health care.

Invest in women who tend to put money into children, families, education and homes, opposed to men who tend to put money into alcohol, gambling, drugs and women.

Collaboration Strategies & Models

Feb 2010 Social Entrepreneur Unconference session called by Andrea Schneider

#socent #ned

Jean Russell

Auren

Christina Howard

Tristin

Shauna

Kristin Wolff

Andrea

Late joiners:

AmyCarolWolff

Carol

Dave Hill

Laurence Cotton

Matt Nathan

Interests:

How do I get paid? (Shauna)

New models that bridge public and private (Kristin)

How best to contribute to what's already out there - easier to do yourself, but not necessarily most effective (Auren)

Getting to know Jean (inspired by her) who is also in session, also I like to think very big and very small at the same time - interested in translations and connections between those levels (Matt)

Been a lone wolf most of my life, but met my peeps in the social enterprise and collaboration space (Jean)

Blessed or cursed with way of thinking that's way too big for my own good - lived in Uganda as the nice white lady doing international development, but realized it does not function. What to do now? Need new models. For me, collaboration is about a new way to meet needs. Concerned about duplication. All are underfunded - that makes people focus on survival. Need more collaborative models. Issues need to be primary (Christina).

Interest is in extrapolation from models to get better at what we do. If we drew a box around collaboration and participation and we included open space - what are the ways we tag what's in and talk about what works for what purpose. (Howard)

Comes from socialearth, there are lots of "stories of the social entrepreneur" (ashoka, changents, etc.), looking to connect the right actions, funding, collaborations across groups, orgs, geography. (Tristin)

Wanted to learn about collaborative practices (had a $3M grant) - not just our relationships to others but others relationships to peers/partners. We deployed the $ to an intermediary to function as a lab re: collaboration. Looked for framework that would enable bringing people together to enable things to happen, action and outcome oriented Community Partnership (Santa Clara County)(Andrea).

Lessons from Andrea:

Setting up intermediary (shared capacity)
Issue has to be compelling (tales time, thought, commitment)
Help them build statements that were bigger than life but imaginable
Build capacity along the way (have to be willing to give away knowledge and skills
Crafting of goal/vision statement is the most painstaking part of the process (people will disengage over words)
Role clarity/objectivity matters
What's the question to ask to generate collaboration (not just who has influence, but what are all of the questions?)
What's the shape of collaboration
People bring different strengths and resources to the table (lots of reasons to connect)

Christina: Eugene Kim in SF, he's surveyed a lot of people about collaboration. (Good resource). He's named collective, bounded goal.

Shauna: Been reaching out, but hard to find partners who have a business model. If not, partners might want to say 100% goes to effort, but I need a salary, even if others do not.

Kristin: This matters organizationally as well.

Matt: Need to do better filtering, but it takes a lot of energy and very few people. How do you find the right fit?

Finding the right partners is a good and valid thing to be doing
How do we create a bigger pool of collaborators
Transparency?

Jean:

Agreements (MOUs)are very critical (roles, assumptions, clarity, honestly, resources, place from which you are speaking - is it personal or org, workplan, timelines, stakeholders - what's our stake/benefit in the collaboration)

Shauna - Try to take the higher road.

Matt - Easy to get pulled down into ego.

Christina - How granular do we need to be?

Jean: Original agreement is guaranteed to shift.

Shauna: Vulnerability, humility, honesty - these matter.

Christina: Accountability

Heidi: No prescribed recipe for this.

Defining the collaboration itself. How close to organization.

Kristin: I used a slide that places models on a spectrum and ask people to identify what we want to be like.

Matt: Can we do something similar to Christina's tool map for models/recipes: E.g.

Kristin's slide on types of groups

Andrea: That's different from facilitating collaboration in a community.

Andrea: How to leverage resources? Spend the dollar more than once...

Shauna: Founded Global Giving Circle. How to we leverage resources when we are not dong the same things? Is "one-stop shop" the model?

Matt: Connecting resources, intentions, risk - there's risk in collaboration. What if the resources flow away from me?

Jean: thrivalry - we love this.

Matt: We're in a system that is set up to tie sustainability to exclusion. Based on scarcity. But there's an emerging system that offers a new model. How are any of us going to get paid? Opensourcing philanthropy - what's the business model. What are the risks that the wealthy or beautiful people will attract all the money (because they don't need it)?

Christina: Wants to pull socents together create incubator - different issues but common set of challenges. Started a group like this in Brussels. How to do this online. Christina would like help. Microsuccess. Issue that's coming up is transparency vs. confidentiality.

Shauna: Open to the group to decide - anyone who visits can visit, but they have to decide.

AmyCarolWolff - what's the enforcement? If a mechanism, it encourages trust.

Kristin - Knight Foundation has an example of this.

Heidi - Maybe we shouldn't fear theft so much?

Andrea - What if they wreck your idea?

Amy - But I have a stake in the solution? Ego plays a role. It's okay for it to be about me, I just have to admit it.

Heidi: There are others models that open vs. closed.

Kristin: Ideas are easier than implementation. Worth remembering. And the need is so huge. All the better that more people are doing stuff.

Jean: Yes, that's what unique about this space.

Christina: Here's the Knight site . The program I referred to no longer existing, but look at the lower right part of this page. There are a bunch of contests there - check the language in each.

FlashCollaboration

Flash Collaboration: small contributions, many contributors, short timelines

Feb 2010 Social Entrepreneur Unconference session called by Jean Russell

Takeaways/Expectations:

How to motivate others to share the workload. And how to do it quickly
In what context this model does/does not work
Simple tools that I can apply tomorrow with no money > go where the network is.
A definition of Flash Collaboration
How to make viral/What's the hook? - Must resonate with people
Side note: business models

Definition:

Flash = Flash Mobs
Collaboration =

Intentionally producing something, not just showing up

Time sensitive & temporal

Open, low qualifications, low barrier to participation (possible side discussion)

Openspace-like event with 'enough' structure provided
Networks are vital - Bringing in friends of friends

(Motivate people quickly to get things done: Date/Time/Place, Results, Benefits, How)

How can we reproduce the results of the flash giving/collaboration we saw with Haiti w/o having a tragedy spark the efforts

@nurturegirl: Thrivability

Each author writing on a word or a phrase
Breaking down a larger writing project into small/manageable pieces. Easier to write something that takes 1-2 hours.
Not an ongoing organization so the authors commitment is limited to their one piece.

Launch @ south by southwest:

How to engage thousands of participants at SXSW.
Have people answer 'why do you do what you do?' - take picture, place on website next to Thrivability book download.

Second example by Amy:

Community choir project

Mashup song
Having remote groups sing same song

Flash collaboration with community choir project has started a conversation where artists/authors contribute skills (not their money) to be used to raise other money. Money contributed on behalf of others efforts.

...

If we are trying to create massive change, how to build on a 'flash' collaboration for the long term?

'Yes We Did' - Book regarding some of the elements and components behind the Obama campaign. Focuses on the two year collaboration and resulting playbook for possible flash collaboration.

The willingness of people (and your network) to be involved is important.

What drives them?

A mission that matters
A belief in the person that is organizing ('this is bigger than me')

Quickly?

Lower barriers - ask = single page is a much smaller ask.

Bold/Authentic - Do something for free even if you're used to getting paid for it. People want to be part of some big - Deadlines/Force people to make decisions: Examples of online/ecommerce sites that force people into action by putting deadlines: woot.com and other 'one deal at a time' websites - Factors - Where you are in the world may play into effectiveness

Influence = Cialdini

Some people are much more influenced by experts
Influenced by peers

To be Viral

Must resonate
Must hit on one of four: Funny, sexy, irreverent/nasty, gory
Redundant - try and try again until something will stick. Playing to multiple motivations.

Work/not work

Quality
Needs to be used to involve people in other ways than giving money
Cultural sensitivities
Concentrated time for teams within a corporation to contribute

Example Model: Theater piece, where multiple groups are being video taped and audience can take place of group members at any time to participate in the discussion. Multi-space fishbowl approach.

What are the ideal technology tools to use for flash collaboration?

Create container then make it feel 'full'

How do you define success?

Any exposure is success. It's to what degree of success.

Biz Models:

Sponsors.
Opensource contributions.
Contributions to own org or to other orgs

w1sd0m

w1sd0m and other system level collaborative efforts

Feb 2010 Social Entrepreneur Unconference session called by Matt Nathan

w1sd0m

http://www.w1sd0m.net/ is a network that helps organize the intellectual/social/human/financial capital to strengthen global sustainable enterprise.

Several of us in the social and sustainable enterprise space felt strongly that there ought to be a better way to find and see and connect with what others are doing, and collaborate to better allocate resources -- a place to more openly and rapidly connect the right people with the right ideas and expertise and the right money. While there were pieces of the puzzle, a central connection service of the sort we wanted didn't seem to exist.

So we were each separately providing those services as consultants and catalysts in the field, while exploring a way of creating a system-level service.

Greg Berry, Jim Ruberto, Chuck Ray, Cameron Burgess, Matt, Jean, Heidi Cuppari and others joined forces, with a great group of high-level advisors and have been working with increasing momentum for the last few months to define what services such a connection community, now called w1sd0m, would offer, and how they will be developed and delivered.

Three key pieces of the puzzle:

Investors (including funds, angels, foundations)

entrepreneurs/changemakers

advisors/incubators/mentors

w1sd0m is a network, a community, a platform that better connects and helps optimize connections among these three groups -- with the following outcomes:

an increased quality and effectiveness of sustainable ventures (including triple-bottom-line businesses, social enterprises, enterprising nonprofits).
the resulting better-world outcomes those ventures make possible.

w1sd0m has analyzed the flows of the various forms of capital, and is focused on the disconnects, where do those flows need to be unblocked or guided so they can flow more freely and rapidly toward optimal and emergent uses.

w1sd0m recently incorporated as an LLC, but we are working on a participatory and transparent structure for ownership and governance, looking at most effective models from the world of open source, cooperatives such as Mondragon, etc.

User Case:

From investor side, investors are trying to find/source good deals, manage deal flow, reduce risk, learn about the cutting edge developments in the field.

Lilith Impact Fund to invest in triple-bottom-line startups, with some emphasis on women owned and minority-owned -- it is a social venture fund.

Connected to big-name musicians, Sarah McLachlan's Lilith Fair - concert tour - $1 from each ticket sold goes into the fund. Three weeks in which they needed to generate deal flow - w1sd0m helped them source 80 potential deals of high quality on every dimension.

We do that by mobilizing and guiding collective wisdom - we know it's there, want to help it emerge/be applied.

Qs:

How did Sarah McL find you?

How did you pick 70 org?

How do you make money on deal?

Connection via person who was part of w1sd0m team, consulting to Lilith fund.

How did candidate ventures get sourced? Doing a lot of this manually now, b/c haven't build all the web-stuff yet. But we are a group of folks with deep experience and connection across the relevant networks, so "manually" in this case is rapid and high-value.

But w1sd0m is providing deal-flow management, online service via a partner. Makes it much easier for Lilith fund to manage applications and evaluate those 80 ventures. They are now in process of selecting those they'll invest in. And they plan to start several more similar funds, partnered with other major music acts.

---

Part of what w1sd0m does will involve matching, like eHarmony for social entrepreneurs. And knowing what's out there, who's doing what, best practices, pitfalls to avoid, what is truly effective collaboration that is thrivable?

Fantasy version: go to site, we ask: What are you aiming to do, and what do you need? Then we take it from there, and connect you to what's needed, because we have the whole eco-system plugged in.

Matt and others involved in creating w1sd0m are doing already this as individuals, so joining forces and building the web, back-end stuff to enable to do this better / easier.

Some of this will be self-organizing, among members. And there are concentric circles of membership / responsibility / reputation / access / proven value-add

w1sd0m will include a reputational currency / rating system

eBay, couchsurfing and other examples of such reputational systems

Klout is another example of aggregating and analyzing people's online data, aiming to provide insight into who's for real, who is connected with whom.

w1sd0m will provide high-value matching etc from data -- in a way that let's people collab without self-interest worry - an open and transparent approach - so flows can happen, so people can know how to earn greater trust, access, stake and voice in w1sd0m's development, etc

Q: Where do you see yourself within larger social entrepreneurship ecosystem?

Q: How to make it sustainable?

Working out the biz model, but will probably be some form of a Freemium model.

Q: What qualifications of organization are necessary to be included in this database?

Anyone can join at basic level

Then: * Validation through other members * Data of what you do, * what outcomes of that are both what you do on network, and what you do in general

Profile available, in differing degrees, to different people

Partnered with dealflow management firm, forming other key partnerships now

Assessment of ventures that is holistic - expertise to know what makes something risky or not on more than just financial measurements (b/c is triple-bottom-line)

w1sd0m is a rating, dating, overall system for social entrepreneurs

Collaborative crowdsourcing

What do you get? information at first level, then deeper levels of customization, payback and personal benefit [Note from Matt: and in exchange you'd be contributing your way into those deeper levels of service and value -- contribution would involve a mix of financial / social / intellectual capital]

Mondragon cooperative model in Spain

W1sd0m will work with any "better world" organization wherever they are on spectrum from biz to nonprofit.

Will be some services launched online within 3 months. And a lot more within 12 months.

Platform for searching, filtering, and conversation

Art Brock and others working on a validation and reputation system (what you do both on the network and in the broader sense)

Movement towards openness and open API

What keeps you up at night? Investor deal flow and risk

Partnered with Business Catapult, business deal flow manager

--->

Moving on from w1sd0m to other system-level initiatives:

Resource / Guide to What is Out There for Social Entrerepeneurs that want to connect / collaborate

Connect project - Xigi.com - Kanect focus on funding

Paradigm shifting - people cashing out of companies with budgets of small nations, choosing to invest - increasing level of dialogue

SIX - social innovation exchange, European, funded by Young Foundation

foundations expending resources to do grants badly - if you build it they will come?

something that clearly makes life better / works?

OpenKollab - fund they want to use to develop / finance collab dev of social change sector

Who funds it? who owns it?

Skoll, Omidyar - fund people with proven track records to enact large-scale change

need for infrastructure to help so ents, but who of big money owners

Who owns that space?

NedDevelopment

Ned Development (community site, crowdsourcing retail space)

Feb 2010 Social Entrepreneur Unconference session called by Mark Grimes

Ned.com Website Improvement:

We need to edit the method of adding your personal name--

People need to use their real names, and not alias'.

Basic information--

link to individual's website, Twitter, blog-should be made available;

a method of getting to know people better, what they're doing, what they're involved in (no Facebooking...Facebook doesn't really allow us to get to know what the individual is involved with; it's that individual's own personal world).

More free-links should be added.

On the Ned profile-for social entrepreneurship, there's not really a way for individuals to feature what they've done, or their honored titles (i.e. listing that you were an Ashoka fellow); perhaps allow a space to feature links that connect to what the individual has done (i.e. "Click here to learn more about what I'm doing")...LinkedIn is a great tool to utilize, add your profile link to your Ned profile so that readers can see further what you've done in the past and what you're doing now.

So besides LinkedIn, what else can we add to a Ned profile?

Immediate needs and wants (i.e. "I need a connection to Yahoo; would somebody mind connecting me?")...postings would expire after 30 days.

Utilize RSS feeds.

Use the reputation system (the points) to designate how postings would be featured, i.e. the top posting is from an individual who has 10 points as opposed to the other member that has 5 points.

Problem with point system--it could alienate/discourage some people to post.

A positive with the point system--it gives individuals the encouragement to keep posting, and also makes people feel welcome in the system

PLEASE ADJUST THE ALGORITHM SO THAT YOU CAN EARN POINTS AT A GREATER LEVEL!! MUST BE CHANGED! It takes too long to earn points, so it makes it difficult for newcomers to start groups/conversations--points scarcity is a problem!

What is the ultimate goal of the Ned platform? What do we want to do with Ned.com?

It's about the quality of the experience, not about getting an abundance of new users. If people can use it to get introductions, get money, then there will be more users! But at the end of the day, it's about quality.

Collaborative platform that has an abundance of specific tools; it's a robust system that offers a unique suite of tools to help a group of people get collaborative work done

We want to constantly improve Ned.com to be more efficient, easy to use for the community.

We could create a mass Tweet stream for individuals enrolled in Ned.com

More integration with the tools already available.

Ease of use needs to be addressed--it's a little too complex at the moment; make the "Brand new? Start here" link more prominent for new users so they know exactly where it is to start learning the process of Ned.com. Perhaps put this link on the welcome email for new users.

Maybe create a glossary of the terminology used on Ned.com--i.e. "Groups, Workspace, etc"

Create a welcome thread that allows people to introduce themselves when they first join; otherwise, new users may seem lost.

Headings on the website maybe need to be larger on default as opposed to the medium...might affect learning curve of new users

Ned Retail Space:

300+ sq ft.

BUT--there's a monstrous receptionist desk that needs to disappear, it's way too big...anybody reading this: if you are interested, contact Mark Grimes. 8'x7', very very heavy...but very pretty. Marble!

Display cases-Tropical Salvage from Indonesia will be featured, tables and chairs by Tropical Salvage for people to sit, hang out. Seven Planet carries Tropical Salvage currently

Life in Africa, Emancipation Network...want to source products from co-ops

Customers can truly see the impact of what's happening and understand the story behind every good. The item is a conduit to tell the story.

Initiate a healthy competition--"this is why you should invest in Theo Chocolate as opposed to Hershey's because it helps THESE people"

Not exactly a Pier 1 Imports; these are gifts that represent something else

Creating a community and culture tied to these products; like Backspace...i.e. community members could travel to Uganda to meet the bead makers first hand

Staffing with volunteers--asking organizations to sign up volunteers to work the store and give part of the day's proceeds to organization that helped for the day, i.e. Portland Center Stage is volunteering for a full day, so for their time, we'll donate to the organization 10% of the day's proceeds-->MercyCorps NW-->Portland area Global AIDS Network

MercyCorps has a huge network of organizations

Feature an organization every month, or every week

Don't launch Christmas time, maybe spring/summer time...more foot traffic outside; Christmas time might cause false expectations

Service programs--work study for individuals who are re-entering the work force after being ill; there is also a training program for youth, and the program pays for these workers...we wouldn't have to pay

Capstone projects--for college students to earn credit, learn about social entrepreneurship, social enterprise

Great products with great stories need a retail environment..these storefronts becomes a distribution chain

Product ideas?

Theo Chocolate--Seattle, WA

Made by Survivors goods

Imaginell toy company in Brussels--the groups who are producing and designing are disadvantaged in some way; "Magic Box"--allows kids to use their imagine by storing meaningful items, and for every box sold, a backpack and some school supplies would be donated to a child in India

Handmade soaps & candles--Baghdad

Software apps?

"Rental boxes"--each box allows for the story of the product to be displayed, and the product to be sold; biggest box is a meter x meter. Link to the boxes: http://bit.ly/bNpV4X

TOMS Shoes? Create an affiliate, as opposed to buying inventory

Gift cards

Zach's Cards--"Cards for Cows"--for Heifer Int'l--go to Heifer Portland blog, there is a video feature

Outside In: recycled t-shirts, turned inside out, re-printed with artwork done by war victims

Evaluation

Evaluation: How to tell the story

Feb 2010 Social Entrepreneur Unconference session called by Andrea Schneider

Evaluation – Telling the story

Attendees: Laurence, Tristan, Auren, Carol

Introduction: Quantitative data

Currently we have too much data that doesn’t tell us a story. How can it become valuable to the public?

Example: Child car seats: quantitative data is valuable to base purchasing decisions on.

Evaluation of a program: Currently serving 25 clients and now serve 100 clients. What does that mean?

Some rules about evaluation: 1)It should be friendly vs a grading system. 2)It should measure real things – accomplishments, results, outcomes. Ask questions: How are we going to know how we got there? How would you describe this? 3)Get to stronger, better, best practices: What is meaningful? What are the tools? How is this going to touch people’s lives?

The story is richer context than just numbers can provide.

There is a paradigm shift in how we evaluate Talk about collaboration Don’t wait for people Numbers don’t tell the story, and we want to turn it into a best practice. Qualitative vs quantitative SEE what the result is. ASK: How do we marry the data to the story? 1)Add a few purposeful questions. 2)Outcomes 3)Take culture into consideration. 4)Teach people who care about assessment to make it relevant (agencies, grassroots orgs, etc..)

Education/Awareness/Influence/Change

Why did that work? Why is that useful? How are we able to be successful? Capacity building and teaching. Adding to the knowledge pool. Any problems or outcomes you didn’t expect?

WEBSITE: ideo.com design company in bay area who changes their design as they learn. Don’t settle for OK.

How do you get to be the best? Look at what you’ve done, including your mistakes. Document. Be purposeful.

Event – 50 attendees, but what happened?

RevenueModels

Revenue Models

Feb 2010 Social Entrepreneur Unconference session called by Andrea Schneider

Community weaving model - training community weavers in communities creates revenue.

Andrea interested in how to monetize some of the social good that's happening?

organizationally and personally how do we make doing good financially viable?

entreneurship 101: Make stuff that people want - BUT how do you package good works in a way that makes people want to pay them.

Laurence worked for a non-profit that earned revenue through managing a high-end speaker network.

Nonprofit bookshop/giftshop example - products sourced from a jury that judged local artisan products

Could small nonprofits benefit from a jointly paid development director?

Patagonia - 1% for the planet: What about a group of entrepreneurs who want to give 1% to people? Could 1 org collect donations and manage a portfolio of nonprofit investments? --> do people trust a small org to do that?

Collaboration only works when people want to do things the same way. How to work together as small non-profits?

-.... power out on computer

Ours is an odd marketplace - comparing poverty alleviation versus health work is not like comparing two kinds of soap

Everywun - hooking private sector in with good causes

People with time and money on their hands have the key ingredients to making philanthropy happen.

Maybe non-profits need to partner with business people/partners - example: Kiva calling in Premal Shah as business director

Many nonprofits fail because they don't have good business sense - marketing, money management, etc. Business savvy profit stream with compelling story/purpose to get sales is very hard.

Cooperative model?

In business - holdings, product lines and marketing strategies are very diverse and dynamic - nonprofits should draw lessons from that and understand that revenue generation requires that level of diverse dynamism - constantly.

Resource directory could be a product that people would pay for? Open source information hard to monetize - Drupal developers earn money on installation; Ning charges money for higher levels of personalization.

Shana: event model to benefit cocoa producers - chocolatiers hold events where they give a % to a region/project and let their customers know. companies pay for project management costs - public donates to project implementation.

Making budgets transparent - many orgs don't include all costs in their accounting. Feeds idea that such a small percentage goes for overhead. Volunteer time, donations in kind. etc. excluded

Lingering Questions:

What's working in business these days, and how can that be harnessed for good?

How do we describe the work it takes to do good (collaboration, aligning, organizing, implementing, etc.) and legitimize it? Unspoken power dynamic of dependency. Some progressive foundations work more in collaborative partnership - more of that welcome please! Transparency feeds that.

InspiringPassion

Inspiring Passion without the Buzzwords

Feb 2010 Social Entrepreneur Unconference session called by Tristan Pollock & Amy Wolff

Buzz Words

Is there a way to capture the audience without guilt?

Add positive results to message.

Use language of empowerment and movement

Tangible results

Need more transparency in the messaging

Eradicate Malnutrition campaign example. Using specific issue with specific results

What do these words say to you...

"Poverty alleviation/eradication "

100% gone

not possible

what steps? giving the false message

empower/freedom

Affect on community - false sense of hope

"green/eco-friendly"

Tote bangs

carbon

recycling

Example Portland State University "No plastic bottle campaign" What are the effects of the campaigns when they university leaves the lights on all night, or water the grass freely.

The term "green" is too broad.

The power of the public (word of mouth)

"framework"

general term

model

way

end product

"sustainability"

pays for itself

holds it own

"efficiency" how efficient

economic, lasting

Mission statements need to be clear with specific results. Written in plain english to obtain results.

EducatingMedia

Educating Media to cover social issues without exploitation

Feb 2010 Social Entrepreneur Unconference session called by Carol Fenton

Present- Carol Fenton, Laurence Cotton, Amy Carol Wolff

Note Taker- Amy Carol Wolff

Intro (CB):

Began by discussing Nicholas Kristof's Feb. 4th blog on naming rape victims.

Journalists have to be sensitive and clear. Not just providing stories infused with attention grabbing photos, footage

How can we build relationships with reporters so that the victim story is told- not just focused on the narrow "gory" piece.

Ensuring effective reporting.

Media needs to be trained to report the entire story.

Response (ACW): Remember that media is not an entity, but an industry filled with people. Opinionated.

(LC): Journalism world in the field of "civic journalism" encouraging journalists to become more involved with their stories. Industry is changing radically- all are struggling/floundering, how to continue to make a profit due to lack of advertisers. Rise of citizen journalism and blogger.

Future of journalism- recent partnerships to create an entire new model- a non-profit model- learning the lessons from other broadcasting largely through the blogosphere that emphasizes accuracy, objectivity, professionalism so that it is not just opinion journalism. Blogs are not generally professional or objective.

How do you meld the professional journalism world and the citizen journalism world? So that it's not just "pornographic journalism". Appealing to the commericiality of it.

Can we address social policy issues and help to foster partnerships?

Portland UofO journalism school sponsored a conference that discussed these issues.

Death and Life of American Journalism- Robert McChesney- book on this exact topic

CF: We need the media to share our story- done the right way- "on our terms".

ACW: Case study of poor journalism- the detrimental effects of poor reporting. Ron Lieber Microfinance Mishap article.

CF: How do we build relationships with the media? Who's to initiate relationships? Its important to take that step.

LC: Trafficking in Portland- getting together with a reporter and pushing on that- creating relationships with people who care about it.

ACW: Asked LC To talk about his work with Oxfam

LC: Created their media program- help journalists get into these places where there were serious issues and promote Oxfam's work simultaneously. Bringing journalists with them in to the area. Most major humanitarian aid orgs are facilitating that kind of reporting.

ACW: Challenges?

LC: Most of the journalists were not w/a daily byline but mostly feature reporters; Oxfam paid for the journalists to be there- they knew there would be efforts to promote programs, but open-ended- journalists were not obligated to write about them. It was a matter of getting the journalists deep on the ground. Not hard to cultivate the relationships.

Embedded assignments- what are the rules?

LC: How do you cultivate relationships with local media?

Looking at citizen journalism.

CF: http://alltop.com/

Finding bloggers who discuss your topic- increase your visibility. Commenting on blogs/issues

ACW: Importance of writing with humility.

LC: Very few journalists publicly acknowledge when they're wrong. Need to adopt humility- as they are often the voice to the mass media.

Nick: made commitment with wife to move out of their comfort zone into a more action oriented lifestyle. Learning about people starting businesses - why not start something that also helps people.

Shana: Chocolate tasting event, money given to a village who constructed a well. Got a phone call from chocolate company founder who wanted to scale it up; unexpected partnership with someone who was holding an expansive space open.

Nolan: 140 characters on twitter & other social media has opened up world of social entrepreneurship

Mark: nedspace & nedwater & maker faire africa all started in the past world thanks to knowing great people. First nedspace event had 250-300 people - mayor of portland has listened to concerns about small business in portland and credits contact with Ned for new seed fund for small biz

Matt: change your city Dublin campaign from Ashoka inspired him to think about that happening in Denver, now it's happening - over the moon about it in spite of the real world glitchiness of making it happen

Christina: taking a break from online world and then reconnecting last summer through Twitter and other social media made it clear that numbers of people in the space are growing.
