Lebkowsky and Armistead at Social Media Club – May 15
Jon Lebkowsky and David Armistead, cofounders of Social Web Strategies, will speak at the May 15 Social Media Club Meeting. Register (free) here, seats are limited!
We’re presenting on “The Headless Organization”:
Throughout the history of the Internet, we’ve seen an explosion of new, relatively frictionless communication channels, broad access to the means of media production, and a blurring of the distinctions between professional and personal media. We’ve seen an ascendance of many-to-many communications resulting in “out of control” communications, flatter hierarchies, and the emergence of new, agile forms of social and political organization. The rise of networked communications and the appearance of robust platforms for social networking has been accompanied by an increasing tendency for groups to self-organize — and the proliferation of entities referred to as leaderless or “headless” organizations. In May’s SMC presentation, we’ll consider how these headless organizations have evolved, discuss some examples, and talk about challenges, limits, and potential future developments.
Meeting is hosted by Josh Baer at Datran Media. Datran’s providing pizza and beer.
