This website is a temporary landing pad for Next Agenda, a new media startup business that brings together top people to help solve America’s biggest challenges and exposes the process to a wide range of audiences who also can get involved. The company Next Agenda now has secured significant angel investment and is creating a new website that will launch soon.
This website has been a base for Peter Leyden, the founder and CEO of Next Agenda, who has been working at the intersection of politics and technology for the last four years. Here I lay out a big picture analysis of the extraordinary historic moment America is going through – what I call “The Obama Moment.” I make the case for The Obama Moment in a short written essay and in this very intense, entertaining talk done in the style of the TED conference, with highly visual multimedia. The talk was done in Copenhagen this October and explains the paradigm shift that happened in politics and the one just now starting in policy-making and governing. The formal talk lasts 30 minutes, with the rest showing discussion with the European audience. Check out the video and the rest of the website where you can learn more about Peter Leyden and Next Agenda. Just below the video you can find occasional posts too.
