Fostering Social Engagement<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

What Is the SES Website About?<\/span><\/h4>\n

Social Engagement Solutions is a way to build, activate, and replicate community transformation \u2013 and one easy way to explain it is with a story using a traditional circus tent analogy.<\/p>\n

The Circus Tent Analogy<\/h2>\n

Building the Platform = Putting up the Tent<\/h3>\n

When the circus arrives in town, the moving crew carefully finds a field that suits their purpose.<\/p>\n

Then they become construction workers. They lay out all the poles and ropes and canvas and pegs of the tent and make sure they are carefully aligned and organized in exactly the right way.<\/p>\n

Then they bring in the elephants (probably tractors nowadays) and POP \u2013 up goes the PLATFORM.<\/p>\n

And in the middle of the tent is a ring where the show is held, with seats around so the audience can see the show.<\/p>\n

The crew can now prepare for the performance.<\/p>\n

Delivering the Performance = Putting on the Show<\/h3>\n

Now the crew that assembled and erected the tent takes on new roles \u2013 they become the performers that put on the show that entertains and transforms the crowd.<\/p>\n

And they also assume all the business roles needed to market and manage the show.<\/p>\n

And so the show goes on \u2013 until it is time to seek new pastures<\/p>\n

Eventually their stay in town is over, and it is time to move on.<\/p>\n

The Relocation = Moving on Again<\/h3>\n

The crew switches roles again, and they become movers. They carefully pack everything up, and move the entire assembly to a new field location.<\/p>\n

That is what this website is about \u2013 it is about constructing a platform, using the platform to transform the life of a community, then moving and cloning everything in a new field location. Platform, Performance, Relocation.<\/p>\n

And it is self-organizing and self-training.<\/p>\n

The Social Engagement Solutions Website<\/h2>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 SES Platform<\/h2>\n

First the team assembles all the components needed to form the structure, then when they are all in place they are activated and organized around a ring and seating.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 SES Performance<\/h2>\n

Then the team that assembled and erected the structure guides a transformational experience \u2013 one that measures and improves social engagement.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 SES Relocation<\/h2>\n

And this entire assemblage is yours to copy and clone to wherever you want to go.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 SES Process<\/h2>\n

And in order to put on the show, you have to learn how it is done.<\/p>\n

So to guide the performance, you need to learn the process.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 SES Structure<\/h2>\n

And the process lives inside a structure, so you have to learn about the structure too.<\/p>\n

And the result?<\/h2>\n

A very unique structure that is scalable without collapse and lasts over time without fading away, so a small group can grow into a community without losing coherence or burning out its leaders.<\/p>\n

And where to begin?<\/h2>\n

And yes. it is self-organizing and self-training, as we explain here.<\/p>\n

To build your own tent, you need to understand the components that make the structure work.<\/p>\n

Begin with the components that will help you understand social engagement by measuring it.<\/p>\n

Yes we haven\u2019t defined or explained it yet \u2013 and that is the next step for you!<\/p>\n

These three frameworks form the foundation of your measurement toolkit.<\/p>\n

Begin by going to our Platform section and learn about<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. First explore Ken Wilber\u2019s AQAL model and learn how to traverse quadrants<\/li>\n
  2. Gallup measures of Social Engagement<\/li>\n
  3. Tribal Leadership measures of Community Culture \u2013 and the importance of TRIADs<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    They give you a full-spectrum view of engagement: inner experience, measurable behavior, and cultural dynamics.<\/p>\n

    This is your tent to build, your community to transform, and your platform to replicate wherever you choose.<\/p>\n

    That\u2019s where you begin \u2013 and oh \u2013 you are not on your own \u2013 after you complete the AQAL modules we invite you to consult with us one-on-one for an orientation and on-boarding session.<\/p>\n
