IBM held in the period from 10 to 12 October at the "Jam Service", a worldwide online brainstorming session with representatives from politics, science, business and civil society. Theme of the jams of the future "service" is - in the broad, the English sense of service to civic engagement. How can the 'social impact' of one's commitment to determine and maximize? How can cooperation in cross-sector partnerships optimized be? How does one meet the apparent contradiction between global challenges and local action? These issues will be explored.
What is a Jam?
A Jam is an online guided real-time discussion between thousands of participants, which - "post" over a period of several days, their ideas together to discuss and put together existing concepts and ideas to the test - like a giant brainstorming . He will be accompanied by technology on one hand (semantic analysis) and moderation on the other (so-called 'facilitators' to lift idea strands that form out in the forums, and allow, even during Jams also the first compression), not only collected ideas, but also analyisiert grouped, categorized.
And what exactly is a service Jam? The service
Jam brings non-profit organizations, companies and scientific and political institutions to a virtual table and pushes a focused and moderated discussion on it could contribute to solving social innovations of the biggest global challenges.
runs like so from a Jam?
usually takes two to three days a Jam, discuss log into the course of which the discussants at any time and can. Time zones do not matter - while in Germany asleep, you argue happily ever after in Australia, India or China. You must be logged in. So not all the time. The structuring of jams in several forums with different emphasis, all participants can contribute there, where their expertise and interests. The forums will be accompanied by professionals who initiate and moderate the discussion. "The conference language is English, to transport the exchange of ideas across national / linguistic boundaries.
is recommended to block for the "Jam-Days" (10 to 12 October 2010) time slots in the calendar. An hour is a good guide. Of course one can come very flexible at all times or to be hidden again, but you will - as in a real conference - trace start and start contributing and / 'digest' do before you even active. At the same time live the jam from the fact that you become involved. A good idea will be expressed - even if it was already introduced elsewhere by other participants. We recognize tendencies and focus. Moreover, the great advantage of parallelism is - you can start at any time, 'because it breaks so no speakers, which would be the case in a normal conference. Jamming allowed which is much higher contributions from the participants than traditional methods.
Do not hesitate, then, actively discussing with - and even though the English is sometimes difficult: language polish is not the first priority. Few of the participants actually have English as their first language, the thought is what counts.
