I’ve been working with some fantastic colleagues (Duncan Work and Duncan Holmes) on ways to harness social capital (the relationship kind vs. financial kind). For me, the interest is applying it to ventures that are working toward a just and sustainable society – but, more generally, I believe it is our most underutilized form or capital and is becoming increasingly important in the current economic downturn and the new mode of organization that I see emerging.
I’ve also been playing with other ways of communicating in presentations and taking some cues from VizThink which I’ve recently been introduced to. The converegence of these two things has led to the presentation below. It’s pretty basic but I’m curious about how people respond.

Cool presentation. I had trouble making the metaphor-leap required in slide 5, where buckets and waterworks are suddenly introduced without warning (and tribe/civilization metaphors at the same time). Took a while to figure out what you were getting at. An additional slide or two just before #5 that intros/explains those metaphors would be great. The 'float your boat' intro in #9 is yet another metaphor that doesn't seem to fit, and in slide #11 I'm designing a system that'll float my boat and then I'm taking a bath? The drawings throughout are fantastic, I think I understand the overall message and am interested in learning what's behind the labels/guys in slide #10. Just streamlining the water imagery so I'm led in a single direction by them should do the trick to making this presentation a strong learning tool. Thanks for soliciting the two cents đ
And thanks to you for the thorough commentary! Very helpful!
Michael – I like it! And I am going to post it over at http://www.socialcapitalvalueadd.com.
I have been looking for someone who is interested in putting together something like this that captures SCVA … i.e. linking Supercharged or as I say, “scaled up forms of social capital” to corporate value.
I argued that while it does blur it somewhat i'd still rather send business contacts to my linkedIn profile rather than to the drunken images of me on my Facebook profile. I'd still like to keep the my professional life and personal life seperate because I'm young and do stupid things. That's my only apprehension about Facebook connect and why i'll not jump on it
absolutely – control of that channel is v. important.

Well, the article is in reality the sweetest on this notable topic. I harmonise with your conclusions and will eagerly look forward to your incoming updates. Just saying thanks will not just be sufficient, for the wonderful clarity in your writing. I will instantly grab your rss feed to stay privy of any updates. Gratifying work and much success in your business efforts.
A great tip from a friend of mine is to bring documentation, or examples of students’ work from previous experiences to job interviews. This allows a more comprehensive vision of what you can bring to an art-making situation.
