In his book Here Comes Everybody, Clay Shirky wrote: “when we change the way we communicate, we change society.”
I’ve just written a profile about John Abele, retired founder of Boston Scientific and leader of the Grunion expedition – a global pursuit to find Abele’s father’s World War II submarine, lost at sea in the summer of 1942. Abele’s quest for the Grunion is about the power of social networking and, to use Shirky’s terminology, “organizing without organizations.” It’s about what happens when serendipity intersects with technology and human intent.
I think you’ll enjoy the story – it’s both inspiring and demonstrative of the power of collective capability.
