| The power of social networks – the new operational paradigm? Today’s “hyperconnected” social networks represent a new force that can drive social, market and political direction. Individuals can now rapidly form flexible, knowledgeable networks, aimed at a specific task, and institutions stumble as they try to keep up. Growing pressure – from both inside and outside – will radically reform the way all institutions operate. Mark Pesce will outline some opportunities and guidelines to help organisations avoid the most obvious pitfalls, and allow them to move comfortably into the new era of the hyper-connected, hyper-informed, and hyper-empowered individual.
