Boy it’s great to be heading back to the Cisco campus for N2Y2! I’m Sean Stannard-Stockton, author of the Tactical Philanthropy blog and director of tactical philanthropy at Ensemble Capital. You can get a sense for who I am from reading my bio. But I’m more interested in giving you all a chance to hear directly from Daniel Ben-Horin. To that end, I just posted a podcast I recorded with Daniel last week. We talk about the vision behind NetSquared and the usefulness of “wisdom of crowd” techniques for nonprofits and philanthropy.

I’m also the project champion for Innovatorz. They have an awesome storytelling model. Since I first took on the project, I’ve introduced them to a former president of Community Foundations of America, head of media relations for Council on Foundations and the executive director of a foundation communications firm. They were universally impressed with the Innovatorz model. I’m sure that whether Innovatorz wins or not, you’ll be seeing their work a lot in the coming year.
