What might a Post Bureaucratic RSA look like?
3 Replies

I was initially sceptical when "21st century enlightenment" popped up as the new tag line for the RSA. What does it mean? How was the decision made? Were Fellows asked if we wanted to wear that…Continue

Thanks John. I've just come from a really inspiring meeting at RSA on how Fellows and others might mentor, support and encourage young people by sharing their networks as well as their personal expertise: there's an opening post from Matt…

David Wilcox replied to Matt Lent's discussion 'Can, and should, the FRSA link with and support young people?'

Hi Matt - thanks to you, and everyone else who attended, for such an excellent starter meeting today. I thought it struck a good balance between the big vision, and the challenge of engaging and organising volunteer Fellows. There has to be…

John Oakley replied to David Wilcox's discussion 'We need more sociability before more technology ... including fun.' in the group Digital Engagement

Regardless of technology people will not communicate unless they have a need. I think the success of Twitter and Facebook has been because the need that they have satisfied is that of being noticed. Although there are some examples counter to this,…

Thanks John. Your points, together with other conversations, makes me wonder whether I'm on the right track. I've been thinking how hosts, guides and social reporters could use this Ning platform as a home base to engage more Fellows…

Oh, I passionately believe that the future is in online collaboration. My only concern is how long it will take to get there for the current generation ( my generation, that is). Maybe never. My thirty-something kids have no issues with it at all.…

John - I agree with the "why bother" challenge. Many of the early enthusiasts from 2007-8 have given up. There's only a few waving the pom-poms. We should recognise it is a double challenge. First, why should Fellows bother to…

John Oakley replied to David Wilcox's discussion 'We need more sociability before more technology ... including fun.' in the group Digital Engagement

Most of the points you make are really posing or answering the question "how?". I think most people, when faced with an opportunity, think "why?" or more fully "why should I? What's in it for me?" or "Why…

We need more sociability before more technology ... including fun.

Matthew Taylor has a nice line in his recent post: "the reason people engage is to have fun, to make a difference or to grow; preferably all three" ... which I think gives us a useful route into thinking about what next for digital engagement.It chimes in with a post by Oscar Berg on The…See More

Launch of the RSA social entrepreneur network

Im really excited by the potential of the RSA social entrepreneur network, launched last night, so just posted this over on my socialreporter blog. I would be most interested in what you think about the contribution social enterprise can make to the RSA Fellowship programme.

I'm really hopeful that the RSA social entrepreneur's network, launched last night, will bring a fresh…

Earth is our Business

Barrister, author and activist Polly Higgins argues for a new paradigm for business, where people and planet are put first.

Defending Politics: Why democracy matters

Professor of Politics at the University of Sheffield, Matthew Flinders, argues for a shift from the bland and fatalistic 'politics of pessimism' that appears to dominate public life, towards a more buoyant and engaged 'politics of optimism'.

Quiet: the power of introverts in a world that can’t stop talking

In an increasingly social world, author Susan Cain argues that we undervalue the power of the introvert at our peril. How can organisations ensure that the best ideas dominate, rather than those of the most vocal and assertive people?
