Social Enter Prise: Infomatics Presentation

Sunday 9 October 2011

Infomatics Presentation

Presentation to QUT Infomatics Research Lab (Creative Industries) having been invited by Marcus Foth to present to his PHD students. Some great feedback and advice from them. Their focus seems to be on the interfaces and technologies, but they were interested in the Social Enterprise aspect and how this could be implemented in public spaces.

Some of the PHD candidates came back to me with useful information on Interactive Urban Screens, projects that had been successful and unsuccessful.

The Enterprisor

The Enterprisor is a concept.

In essence, it is a platform to promote collaboration through participatory media and collective action.

It transcends the physical and virtual realms.

It is a self-organising system that is more indeterminate than governed; more open source than controlled, more process than product.The Enterprisor provides an opportunity for those disadvantaged or those seeking to develop an innovation, or those willing to help to come together in an exciting collaborative environment.

The Enterprisor provides access to the tools and resources necessary for social innovation. Through virtual and real-world collaboration spaces, the connections and networks can develop as required for start-ups requiring funding, innovators requiring assistance and guidance for their particular venture, or employment models through which people can learn or improve on their skills.
