My talk at YorkCVS on "why we no longer need organisations"

BriefIn the 21 century the power of networks may replace the power of organisations in driving social change. The power of the internet has now meant that the structures needed to support an organisation as a physical entity can now be done in alternative cheaper ways, and the rise of hybrid legal structures means the old method of "group then act" can be freed up to "act then group". (See Clay Shirky on organising without organisations)

This means can avoid many of the failures of social programmes, political wrangling and react much quicker to drive genuine change. This 40 minute talk at York CVS will showcase organisations and movements which are challenging existing institutions, organisations and hierarchies..
