Tuesday November 10, 2009
12:30pm – 2pm
International Resources Group (IRG)
1211 Connecticut Avenue NW, Suite 700, Washington, DC
Join a hands-on session of the Knowledge Management workgroup to experience social network mapping in an international development context. The Net-Map Toolkit, developed by Eva Schiffer, is an easy-to-use and low-cost mapping tool that helps people understand, visualize, and discuss situations in which many different actors influence outcomes. Net-Map can be applied for diverse purposes such as improving governance, identifying linkages among actors in a given network, or “simply” bringing out in the open participants’ tacit knowledge of a certain situation. Eva will provide examples of using the method to improve communication in case of an avian influenza outbreak, to increase the impact of research on policy making and to develop common strategies in multi-stakeholder natural resource management. After the interactive presentation participants will be invited to share their thoughts on this approach in a general discussion.
Presenter:
Eva Schiffer
Independent consultant and developer of the Net-Map Toolkit.
Moderators:
Stacey Young
Senior Knowledge Management Advisor at USAID and Co-chair of the SID KM Workgroup.
Tony Pryor
Senior Manager at International Resources Group and Co-chair of the SID KM Workgroup.

America stands at a complex crossroads, economically, technologically, socially and geopolitically. Major forces are reshaping the idea of America, its government’s contract with its citizens, its brand, and its role in the world. And there is not a single global challenge that can be addressed without it. At Pop!Tech 2009, we’ll take a top-to-bottom look at America’s opportunities, its challenges, and its future. We’ll explore the country’s business model in the decades to come, and unearth inspiring stories of American invention and social innovation. We’ll explore the country’s role in the world, and the world’s role in the U.S. We’ll look at cutting-edge ideas in education, energy, entrepreneurship, and the many other social systems on which America’s future wealth depends, and we’ll ask what it means to be a superpower in the age of the Second Superpower -- the Internet. We’ll share rousing stories of people on the front lines of the next American Revolutions. As always, there will be incredible performances, jaw-dropping technology demonstrations, spirited discussions, and surprises throughout, drawing a network of extraordinary thinkers doers and leaders for a one-of-a-kind experience.
