The S.L.O.W. Tech™ Incubator - Sustainable Local Organic Work + Technology
In this episode, Kent Dahlgren & Ruth Glendinning have a far-ranging conversation about their influences and envisioned potentials for communities, all grounded in gratitude for this year that changed everything for everybody.
As you can see in this recent Fast Company article, the world has finally slowed down enough to catch up with S.L.O.W. Tech™.
Back in 2010, Ruth watched an interview with the editor of the Austin Business Journal in which he dismissed the value of the CRM concept as ‘low tech’ and, therefore, not important to the future of Austin as it was envisioned by the people with money & power.
At first she was angry, but then inspired to create S.L.O.W. Tech™: Sustainable Local Organic Work + Technology = inclusive sustainable community which is only now becoming clear to folks as the missing piece.
Ultimately, S.L.O.W. Tech is about using technology to improve the human experience, not distract from it.
As envisioned the purpose of the S.L.O.W. Tech™ model is to add specific technology to no or low tech community-based culturally-rooted human-scale businesses to better equip them for sustainability. In this model, businesses are designed to reflect and meet the local community needs.
This dovetails with the purpose and power of the 214 Alpha platform for community activation which provides the 'how' to the 'why' of creating an accessible, inclusive economic opportunity for all, no exceptions.
Ruth's new venture, Future Story Lab, was formed for the purpose to identify & emerge sense making tools around the evolving future. Combined with the power of Kent's 214 Alpha platform for community activation, we are providing the 'how' to the 'why' of creating an accessible, inclusive economic opportunity for all, no exceptions. It is this power combo that is evolving the Anti-Fragile Playbook, a roadmap to guide the journey to what's next.
