A Spirit and Place event!
INNOVATION IN NETWORKS
What we talked about:

We need to weave innovation networks by "connecting and developing"
Key points to consider:
1. We need to shift our thinking from hierarchies to networks
2. Command and control does not work in the civic space
3. We need to connect and align our resources in the civic space

Organic vs. Business Strategy.
Quality, Connected Places: We need to bridge the dis-connect between community members and government. Make government more transparent and accessible.
Use technology for better connectivity.
Non-traditional forums: university's, cultural districts, etc.
