CONCEPT 2 of 2:
Creating an Open Design Matrix for Realizing New Forms of Sustainable Innovation

The creation of 64 globally-aligned incubation centers are used to realize new and advanced forms of design and innovation relating to organizational practices and technologies that are symbiotic with natural rhythms and planetary culture. This innovation matrix will help to advance the design of communities using ‘whole system’ knowledge that is realized within the centers and shared world-wide. Ecological design principles and sustainable business practices are followed that adapt to the needs of a globally conscious society. An eighteen community domain learning framework is
used, along with a unique concentrix management process, to direct the centers within the innovation matrix. Collaborative learning methods are used to guide participants to create product and service solutions that support a diverse, interdependent, thriving world culture system.

The web link below will show you draft concepts that will direct the manifestation of these amazing new 'learning communities' and 'sustainable innovation' networks. I believe that these approaches hold seeds for realizing a world culture that is based in reverence, peace, and awe to emerge. It will unfold an exciting new journey for all of us; a new way for humanity to live and evolve.

Building a World-wide Network of Learning Communities

Concept 1 of 2:
Building a World-wide Network of Learning Communities

I would like to see a unique form of collaboration and design network occur across the world. Its creation will be comprised of a model for bringing people together with common passions and interests who want to participate in the changes at hand, both at the visionary and practical levels of implementation. The frameworks for gathering and connecting people will be very open, allow for group and individual empowerment, be guided by principles of sustainability and collaborative learning, and allow those with knowledge and wisdom to lead rather than those with (so-called) power strength and money, and (rather than our present unhealthy forms for discussing and debating) it will be based on an open dialogue system for sharing and learning from a world of people who are wealthy with ideas. Together, from community-to-community, we will create a wonderful new reality.

Creating an Open Design Matrix for Realizing New Forms of Sustainable Innovation

We are hosting a bloggers challenge to raise money for teacher-submitted projects in schools.

The projects have to do with sustainability, and include the following topics:

1. student research on recycling programs in Texas
2. indoor gardening programs in San Jose, CA
3. maintaining a student newspaper in Los Angeles, CA
   (Journalism has had a rough time in that city, and we need to help sustain different media voices)

4. support a course in sustainable development and conservation in Chicago, IL
5. Community Action on Global Challenges in Providence, RI
6. Modeling groundwater flow and aquifers in New York, NY
7. alternative energy projects in North Carolina

Visit the challenge page for more details on projects and to contribute.
