    • find the most passionate 1% of citizens and engage them deeply, not just with the organisation but also with each other
    • create ‘third spaces’; unconference events and online communities

  • Reminded me of one of my favorite Drucker quotes:
  • “Because the purpose of business is to create a customer, the business enterprise has two–and only two–basic functions: marketing and innovation.

    “Marketing and innovation produce results; all the rest are costs. Marketing is the distinguishing, unique function of the business.” – Peter Drucker
