In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Powerful. Clear. Concise. Extremely Comprehensive.
my god.. she doesnt take a breath.. but says it all so swiftly and smoothly.. was like a 17min economic management lecture.., and she sounded like she memorised the texbook..haha
Innovative collaboration is the key to developing new value across social systems. No person or system is an island unto itself. It's about collaborative, creative thinking and the power of community.
I love her this is so dynamic
A better title might have been something like "A very 100 foot view of how Ashoka thinks about systems thinking in social entrepreneurship and social finance." I'm not quite sure that even does it justice.
She worked with Ashoka for a while. Also, Founder of Global Giving (crowdfunding/social capital platform). She speaks to the challenges of failure in early organizations. She also spoke to rapid experimentation and supply driven demand (in the context of social entrepreneurs). Went from donor-centric to entrepreneur-centric.
Holds the possibility of positive co-creation (versus narrow lens of prescriptive vs. user centric). The later is probably more consistent with design thinking and human-centered design (a la IDEO).
I think this is possibly part of TedxSanta Cruz.
She also spoke to her involvement at the Business Innovation Factory, which is partnered with Babson (as I recall both are out of Boston Mass).
I am so inspired! thanks Eli.
If only all women business owners knew about the ground breaking point that businesses need to design their products and services around their target market. Holy Shit, truly revolutionary
Thanks for the talk

She started off talking about how her own country is falling apart and went very quickly to GIVE NGO's MONEY wrapping it in the illusion of 'innovative thinking'. Fix your own home before you run off to fix someone else's.
what a shame that the guy commenting below can't accept a simple plea for innovation with some interesting thoughts and challenge without competing with clever remarks and angry personal stuff in relation to equality issues. What a shame he couldn't add something rather than trying to take something away. On the up-side it illustrates what she's up against really well and made me like what she's doing even more! Go Eli!
Well Said @lisa Williams.
Please read Systemantics by John Gall.
Please provide a summary?
what about at home? there's a problem with the ability to impose or teach these new ideas in developing countries - when people are vulnerable the are willing to accept any ideological whatever that is imposed upon them, not so easy in a country like the USA- the interesting thing is that systems thinking is in the title, but to me, somewhat ironically, there is a narrowness to her concept of systems thinking- products services and systems - sounds like more of the same to me, what are the fundamental issues in our global system? When you look at how exploitive it is - and what a huge percentage of humanity is engaged in meaningless labour, and how much of our economy is based on wholesale environmental destruction- I don't see a how what she's saying is a holistic approach, but rather an expression of a very peppy subcategory of a larger model that if anything is increasingly narrow in its ambitions and destructive in its results across all sectors when looked at through a system lens.
Filled with inspiration though, which is needed as much as anything else~~
OMFG now shes referencing womanish power crap.
