In his talk, Mark Turrell describes how the power of networks can change the world for the better. Crowdsourcing, the general power of masses via revolution, and mobile phone networks are just the most known examples of how networks can change your business, your social life, and your career directly. One particular experience further proves this: the Global Teacher Prize. Mark explains how networks within networks can help to identify potential candidates. Additionally, he elaborates on the (in)efficient way we use career networks such as LinkedIn these days, and how networking strategies can serve as a completely new toolbox for achieving goals dramatically faster.
