A solo presentation from acclaimed Macrowikinomics author Don Tapscott, this session will cover how the revolution of social media necessitates rebuilding many (if not all) of the institutions that have served our civilization for many centuries. 
Don Tapscott joins Social Media Week as the global curator and opening keynote for the 2012 theme of Empowering Change Through Collaboration. Don’s keynote is followed by a Q&A and interview with Economist’s Matthew Bishop. 
Extended versions of Don's interviews with LinkedIn's Reid Hoffman, Zipcar and Buzzcar's Robin Chase, Nike's Vice President of Sustainability and Innovation, Hannah Jones, and GoodGuide's Dara O'Rourke. 
In episode four of ReCivilization, Don examines how the digital revolution has cut transaction costs and changed the notion of the firm, and how business needs to operate collaboratively and transparently -- to meet the needs of increasingly savvy consumers concerned about sustainability and ethical behaviour. As Don says, the level of scrutiny made possible by the web means businesses operate nakedly. And if you're going to be naked, you'd better be buff. 
In part three of ReCivilization, Don examines the future of health care and medicine, where patients become co-managers of their own wellness, and use the web to network with each other for support, knowledge, and healing -- outside the old, institutional, medical framework. In episode two of ReCivilization, Don looks at the transformation of education and science, and how the sharing of knowledge is moving from the industrial-age model of a one-way broadcast from teacher to student to collaborative, discovery-driven learning, enabled by the web. He also examines a new model for science that favours open data over isolated, patent-driven research. 
The debate on the role of social media and change is over. Over the last year, many have questioned just how important social media are in helping activists achieve social change. Don Tapscott joins Social Media Week as the global curator and opening keynote for the 2012 theme of Empowering Change Through Collaboration. Don’s keynote is followed by a Q&A and interview with Economist’s Matthew Bishop.
