During the past couple of years, Jim and I have been focused on learning about how to create federated support networks and how to move into the support space. There have been exciting and sustainable achievements in this area. We have learned alot with and from these support economy pioneers. In addition to this work, we have seen that the support economy (TSE) framework helps to explain so many new developments in economy and society. In this blog, I’ll be sharing our learning, along with thoughts and observations on today’s institutional crisis, the plight of the individual as shock absorber, and the historic opportunties for invention and wealth creation that we face. We look forward to seeing your responses and dialogue. There is also a facility on this site for publishing longer pieces. They have to be submitted for review, then they can be posted.
This site also has a featured space for learning about support economy pioneers. It’s time to pool our observations about enterprises moving into the support space. Some enterprises are taking baby steps (small steps along a profound path), others are making big strides. There’s a lot to be learned in all these experiences. Together we can develop a compelling map of the new support space and how to get there. We can help pioneers discover the learning curve more efficiently, as we consolidate knowledge from a wide range of experiences.
