organising the 2010 social impact awards – if you know any information innovative charities please send me details

Social Impact Award

I’m putting together the 2010 social impact award scheme – for charities and NFPs making innovative use of information.
The idea was born after the boxing day tsunami and Oxfam’s use of technology to mobilise their reponse. Even then the NFPs led many commercial organisations i their use of technology. Without the ‘thick’ infrastructure and coteries of professional help the NFPs moved quickly and were agile to embrace emergent consumer technology. The gap has widened further as the corporates entrench their internal IT.
Interested or know of an enterprising charity with good ideas – then please get in touch

Many years ago I was told the parable of  India where a ‘rational scheme’ for roadwork broke the social system around making the work go round. I sense this might be a very valuable lesson for the coming changes
