COMMUNICATIONS REVOLUTION
REVOLUTION OF NETWORKS
JEWISH TRADITION IS FULL OF NETWORKS
Jewish Communal Organizations Are Networks
Why do these peopleneed each other?
What binds them together?
What are the shared assets?
What We’re Used To
What We’re Moving To
Fortress: Insiders in, Outsiders out
Sponges: Transparency & Constant Flow In and Out
Questioning Assumptions
• What is information is public or open?
• Who is ’inside’ or ‘outside’ of our community?
• What is ‘membership’?
• Where do we need to hire expertise?
• How are we evaluating progress towards our mission
and goals?
• Culturally, what needs to shift for us?
The Lesson
NETWORKS ARE VALUABLE
WE TEND TO
GROSSLY
UNDERUTILIZE
THEM.
Or attempt to use them
in the wrong ways.
Build your network now,
before you need it.
Permanent Beta: The Age of Micro-Planning
Synagogue
as center of a
community or
network.
Empower individuals to micro-
plan, experiment and evaluate.
(Remember, you don’t have to
do it for them)
Provide support (staff,
space, experience,
systems) as needed and
helpful
Listen to interests and
needs of the community
members
Try it out! Focus on short,
strategic bursts that can be
adjusted based on
feedback
Reflect on how these
’intrapreneurs’ went about
this task
The age of the ‘permanent
beta’
Millennials:
Transparency
Fast paced/efficient
Collaboration/teams
Divvy tasks based on skill
Meaning & impact
