My next invitation to say a few words is for the Inter Faith Network – UK next week.
The programme says
Networking – what is it?! What is a ‘network’? What is ‘networking’? Are all networks membership bodies? What might new forms of networking look like – both for the Inter Faith Network and more widely?
I’m intrigued by the punctuation.
I doubt I’ll focus on the techie and ‘how to’ side – maybe a handout. I’ll avoid references to social capital but might mention Cern’s new particle.
I might ask why anyone should want to be networked; what’s the point of being (more or less) connected to other people, organisations, ideas, movements, institutions – and membership bodies.
It depends a fair bit on what you’re trying to do, I guess.
Any thoughts?
