SPONSORED BY SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY CENTRE FOR DIALOGUE

Learn to enable teams with divergent perspectives to resolve conflicts, find solutions and function brilliantly. Finding meaningful and enduring solutions for many real-life problems demands the involvement of multiple interests. However, bringing out the best from a diverse group of individuals can be challenging, requiring a subtle mix of skills, sensitivity and insight. The alchemy of facilitation in such settings means transforming divergent viewpoints and competing interests into agreed solutions and alignment on next steps.

Net Change Week 2010

When it comes to social and mobile technology, the question is no longer whether or not we should be using it, but rather, how can we adopt it in a strategic way?  And how can social innovators use it to create greater impact?

Net Change 2010 is week-long series of events launching June 7th. It will explore the intersection between technology and social change. And the opportunities this intersection presents.
