Building a movement• Driving grassroots change across the
UN system• Blogging… also tagging, forum, Flickr,
Wikipedia etc.• Innovation in the ‘grey spaces’: hive

Low appetite for risk
Not prepared to move fast
Insistent on traditional command and control
Technology as ‘cudgel’
Know what you’re doing before you start
Traditional notions of authority
It works… Interesting story to tell Story tellers enabled Genuine connection to
audience Playful attitude to technology Learning through
experimentation Not waiting for permission
Why use social technologies?
