How to Create Social Relationship Capital

2018-02-18 - In my inaugural address to the board of directors of unexplored association, I wrote - > "Gathering is the first step, staying together is progress, working together is success," says Ford. Of course it is important to gather people at events, but it should not be a one-off event where people have fun for a day and that is the end of it. There needs to be a place where the gathered people "stay together". We believe it is important to create such a place both physically and electronically.

• One way to bring people in is to say, "I have a specific project that sounds fun, and I'm going to participate in it."

  • Creating specific fun projects" requires "conceptual ability to create something out of nothing" that cannot be outsourced to part-time workers, etc.

• I wonder if the driving force is "the desire to realize a system that I think would be good to have" or something like that.

  • When a graduate wants to do something and it involves more than one graduate, that in itself is an opportunity for cooperation to create social relational capital among graduates
  • The "system I think would be good to have" I want to create is a "feedback loop" in which intangible capital accumulates with the unexplored group at its core, and the gravitational pull of that capital attracts more capital.
  • So you're inclined to support a project that involves multiple alumni because it contributes to it.
