Really fun and enlightening PowerPoint presentation by Roberto (Barr Foundation) and Stephen (Managment Consulting Services). Part 1 of 3.
Highlights why we should all be paying attention and leveraging technology! In thinking about technology we often leap to it as a solution for networking before fully understanding it’s potential role. A quote from their presentation:
“It is not what the tools allow us to do that counts, but the new possibilities that emerge when we change our behaviors and ways of thinking to incorporate new approaches enabled by the tools.”
