Tonight was the first event of the "Dutch Connection" group that is starting to emerge from a group of people that have formally or informally met in Ecademy over the last weeks. Lead by Colby Stuart it has been both refreshing and inspiring (time well spent). Once again it becomes apparent that the potential of co-creation and social / business innovation happens at the boundaries of networks. Bringing these people together (and they are revolutionists) will spark many creative conversations and ideas.
One of the themes that was spent talking about was the value of identity in social network platforms by properly using the personal profile. A profile is much more than a banner to lure business opportunties in, it is a reflection of all the facets of your ambition and the context in which that has been creation. Ambition says something about what your personal objectives, the tools and inspiration.
A small group exercise I proposed to the group may help bring out such group identity - but the emergence of such identity can only be attained if we convey our personal one.And that this is not always about business, was reflected in the list of attributes that was co-created in the group.
It recalled what Prusak / Cohen said in "In Good Company: How Social Capital Makes Organizations Work" about the Xerox teams as well..
