Communication

Communication and community are inseparable.

"As traditional power dynamics shift, participatory models are emerging. And as Henry Timms and Jeremy Heimans highlight in their important book, New Power, old hierarchies are giving way to more distributed networks. Soon, artificial intelligence (AI) tools will be integral to everyone’s daily lives, and they will reshape how foundations and nonprofits achieve their missions—especially when it comes to communications.

"Put simply, the 20th-century broadcast model of mass communication simply doesn’t cut it anymore. Foundations and nonprofits need to focus on community building rather than just pushing messages to an audience (or to that awful, imprecise word that ought to be banished to the jargon jar, “stakeholders”). It’s about engaging real people in meaningful ways to foster support and collaboration, which requires investing in genuine relationships and building sustainable communities based on shared values." - Sean Gibbons & Tristan Mohabir
