At the strategic level, how should organizations view and adapt to rapid technology and communications advances and exponential adoption of social media? A common view of the world of "social" has been that it is an incremental advance, offering new tools, new channels and new ways of access, but, in effect "more of the same." The premise of "Today's Hotbed: Social, Technology and Strategy" is the opposite: It sees the impact of an open, always connected, massively networked, real-time world in which information is ubiquitous and instantly available as not more of the same, but, indeed, as a fundamental paradigm shift. The panelists, leading thinkers about social media, new technology and strategy, will address how the world of "social" is altering both:- The landscape which organizations must navigate to succeed - e.g. opportunities revealed and threats generated, strengths to seek and weaknesses to remedy.- The approach to take for strategic success - e.g. planning processes and execution approaches best suited to capitalize on the benefits of "social."- See more at: http://www.worldstrategyweek.org/todays-hotbed-social-technology-and-strategy.html

Easily one of the most ethical and forthright organization I've ever been a part of.In my short time there as both Lead Program Analyst and Grant Administrator I won two additional grants in addition to managing two others for our micro-business lending programs for refugee families here in San Diego. My staff was awesome, my work as financial analyst and grant manager was somewhat boring but very important. My role as inter-agency liaison and mediator was challenging but important as well.
