Description

Most of the significant change that's happening out there, usually 'under the radar', is not the result of structured innovation in blue-chip companies. It's a function of massively enthusiastic people in love with what they're doing working with the marbles of 'social technology' and 'social flows' to shift impossibly large rocks. Jean Russell and Herman Wagner are immersed in that world of nudge and reframing, social protocols and culture hacking. They share their experience and case studies from dozens of colleagues in this invaluable book.

Author Biography:

Herman E. Wagter is an independent program manager specialized in complex collaborative innovation programs, where technical innovation needs to be combined with social innovation to get the desired impact. He supports his customers by developing and refining a comprehensive strategy to achieve the desired goal, as well as by leading the subsequent iterative implementation phases hands-on. One example is the public-private venture to kickstart Fiber-to-the-Home in Amsterdam, including the successful discussion with the European Commission on the application of the Market Economy Investor Principle regarding the role of the Municipality of Amsterdam. Another is the strategic development of the Lean & Green movement aimed at increasing the competitiveness of companies through the voluntary reduction of CO2 emissions during the transport of goods. In his early career as Managing Director in international contracting and services he became interested in the social dynamics of change and the role of social technology in shaping how we work together. As a practitioner who is keen on what creates impact he continuously searches for knowledge, ideas, and experiences to apply in his work. That search includes legal issues like state-aid and public tender processes, new accounting principles, technology, behavioral economics, and human motivation applied to collaboration. Herman loves to cook for his family, drink good wines with his wife and their friends, and do outdoor sports. He likes to tinker with IT and gadgets and once in a while to enjoy fast mountain roads on his motorcycle. Jean M. Russell is a culture hacker, facilitator, and writer on a quest to catalyze group productivity. As a founder of the Thrivability movement, Jean works with change agents, innovators, and new economy builders, globally, through the Thrivable Futures Consultancy. In 2013, Jean published Thrivability: Breaking Through to a World That Works with Triarchy Press. She received an honorable mention on the Enrich List as one of the top 200 people enriching our path to a sustainable future. She is also listed as one of 100 women globally co-creating a P2P Society. In 2010, with 65 inspiring people, she curated, Thrivability: A Collaborative Sketch which has been seen by well over 30,000 viewers. She has published articles on organizational design strategies, and her work on thrivability, innovation, philanthropy, and cultural shifts has been highlighted in The Economist, Harvard Business Review, and Stanford Social Innovation Review. Since 2007, she has been facilitating strategy retreats, conferences, and workshops in North America, Europe, and Australia. She brings to her facilitation a keen understanding of social network analysis, motivation and behavior patterns, group dynamics, and culture change. Jean often custom designs participatory structures for group engagement that evoke play to achieve purpose. Jean loves hiking to Tennessee Valley Beach for a picnic with some Vinho Verde, crusty rustic bread, and a selection of cheese so she can savor the flavors while watching crepuscular colors shift on sand and water at sunset.
