Co-Creation

Social Capital

Social Capital

• One's ability to survive and thrive in these spaces

• Social Leaders have high social capital

• Social Leaders develop this in others

• And recognise the risks of disenfranchisement

How are people disenfranchised?

Social Capital

• Social Leaders help close this gap

• They actively reach out

Collaboration

Collaboration

• They are fluid in how, why and when

• They collaborate without expectation of immediate reciprocity

• They are humble enough to learn

What is the biggest barrier to collaboration?

!

Agility

• It's about creating spaces for experimentation

• You can't mitigate for creativity with process

• Organisations can fall into the gap between process and excellence

Embedding Social Leadership

• Consider the permanence of mistakes

• A fair social contract
