Age of heretics
Art Kleiner
Heretic as visionary
We are all trapped
Heretics free us
Social media - You are not alone

We can build our world
We can engage together
We are not alone
Social media is our weapon

The problem
Agencies are trapped
Citizens are uncertain
Employees are uncertain
Fear and doubt are rife
Spin is endemic

Agency & Community
Citizens are engaging already
Public servants are not
Perceived powerlessness rules
Citizens are cynical
So there is a chasm to cross

Corporate listening
Fight the FUDS
Enlighten corporate areas
Inspire leadership
Harness heretics
Organisational comfort

Building competence
Individuals are - sort of
Agencies are not
Build the groundswell
Greater depth
Another chasm to cross

Organisational culture
Current approach is hierarchical
Behaviouralism rules
Bolstered by managerialism
Rightly viewed with cynicism
Yet another chasm

Beyond culture
People build culture
Intuition works
Organisations are social
People talk
Social media rocks

So where are we?
We have a vision
We have a map
We have smart tools
We don’t have a market
So we don’t have passengers

Crossing the chasms
Allow direct engagement
Rise of the heretics
Allow unstructured engagement
Democratise culture change
Establish a social ecology

And if we don’t?
Loss of trust
Disengagement
Mediocrity
Declining ability to deliver
A dark age public service
