Forsvarets Kommunikationskonference

I just came back from a really interesting afternoon/evening with the Danish Defence – or rather the communication branch of the Danish Defence, which consists of approximately 100 individuals spread all over the different branches of the Danish military.
I must admit that I was quite impressed by what I saw. I expected an extremely top heavy and bureaucratic organization with little understanding of anything related to the Web. What I found was a truly diverse organization with a large degree of openness, flexibility and willingness to listen to inspiration coming from the world outside – in my case the world of web 2.0 and digital social networks.
But then again – the Internet was invented by the military almost forty years ago, so why shouldn’t the military be able to incorporate the philosophy of social networks, user generated content and web 2.0?

Nevertheless, for those who saw my presentation today (and for everyone else) here is my presentation from today. It consists of some of my core ideas about web 2.0, but incorporates some more specific slides and examples related to the Danish Defence.
