A 10-storey testament to what can be achieved when it's all done right.

Dear Collingwood Resident,

The Yarra-wide Public Housing Transition Group has been working very hard to develop a new Local Governance Group on the Collingwood, Richmond and Fitzroy Public Housing Estates.

There are eleven resident members on each new Group. These representatives come from a combination of the largest cultural groups for each estate, and existing groups (tenant associations and estate advisory groups).

Last year we accepted a challenge from Infoxchange, a not-for-profit organization working to bridge Australia's digital divide. Even before the global financial crisis, individuals and communities around the globe were suffering economic hardship. Whether the cause is a stagnant national economy, long-term unemployment, refugee flight, family dysfunction or any one of countless other causes, the result is the same: A layer of society is left behind. It is incumbent upon us not to forget these people, and there are positive signs that as a society and a business community we are not doing so.

The social enterprise sector has gained tremendous momentum over the past few years, however what many people do not realise is that social enterprise is not a new or passing phenomenon. Trent Bartlett, the contributor to this month’s Opinion Piece, reminds us of the positive impacts that social enterprises, in particular community owned co-operatives, have been making in Australia for over 150years.
Also, the recently released FASES research reveals is that social enterprises are operating in all trading sectors of Australia’s economy – including mining!

The Minister for Youth, the Hon Kate Ellis MP launched the National Strategy for Young Australians on Wednesday, 14 April 2010.

The Strategy is part of the Australian Government’s ongoing process of giving young people a better deal and a voice in decisions that affect them. It will be used as a guide for future Government action to encourage and help young people take charge of their own lives.

Attributes of the Social Organization

Before we explore the attributes of the Social Organization it is important to first answer why we need a new model…  Why don’t solutions like Social CRM, Government 2.0, Social Relationship Management, Enterprise 2.0, Healthcare 2.0, Education 2.0, and others suffice?
