About the Solutions

Overview

Harrison Owen created a social technology that enables people to convene meetings
about the topics that are most alive in them and allows for cross­fertilisation of ideas.
Participants make sure they do what inspires them most, as they move between the
spontaneously emerging landscape of conversations and interactions arising from the
group.

The challenge

Often, the most interesting interactions and conversations take place during the coffee
breaks of more official conferences and meetings. However, most conferences are
structured with ‘experts’ presenting to a passive audience. How can we unleash the
creative potential of all the participants?

“A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim
fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.” Lao Tzu
“True leaders understand that leadership is not about them but about those they serve.
It is not about exalting themselves, but about lifting others up.” Sheri L. Dew
