I’ve had it with museums’ obsession with open-ended self-expression. I know this sounds strange coming from someone writing an admittedly self-expressive blog post, but hear me out.

The Leading Change Summit was more intimate (several hundred people), participatory and interactive, intense, and stimulating.

When you have worked in a field a long time (for me it has been over 3 decades), you have to keep an open mind about remembering and reflecting on what you have heard before — looking at as if it was new. These help guide my professional learning and improvement and maintaining good habits.

I would love to develop more indepth training workshop or webinar on this topic, geared more for nonprofits and participatory campaigns, perhaps incorporating the Creative Commons Open Content Game.

When people ask about blogging, the question of comments comes up more frequently than any other. Why not ask more typical website questions, "why don't more people visit my blog?" or "why don't more people link to my blog?"

This is the third in a four-part series about writing The Participatory Museum. This post covers my personal process of encouraging--and harnessing--participation in the creation of The Participatory Museum.

Early in the life of this blog, I stumbled into a taxonomy of how social platforms work that I call the hierarchy of participation. Every issue cycle was the same: visitors would watch the video in silence, and then as soon as the voting opened, a murmur of conversation would run through the room.
