Join the Citizens League, Hennepin County, the Center for Science, Technology and Public Policy, and the Digital Technology Center for a night with Anthony D. Williams, co-authro of best-seller Wikinomics.
Wikinomics explores how to prosper in a world where new communications technologies are democratizing the creation of value. Based on a $9 million research project, Wikinomics shows how that masses are starting to participate in the economy like never before.
Recently, Anthony Williams has been turning his attention to the implications of wikinomics for government. He writes:
| Some politicans and public officials would genuinely like to strengthen representative democracy. The reality is that getting to genuine citizen engagement is hard - it entails a truly massive shift in the culture of government and the apparatus of political decision-making. |
Anthony D. Williams has been researching and writing about trends in technology and society for more than a decade. He holds a Masters in Research from the London School of Economics and is Vice President and Executive Editor at New Paradigm, a think tank focused on business innovation in the global economy.
