02.22.07Accelerating the Collective Potential for Positive ChangeI've just come across www.slideshare.net and figured I'd try it using the latest version of the presentation (here) that I'm working with on the topic of accelerating the collection potential for positive change.

02.15.07To the point… .So this is what it comes down to:I'm exploring:- ways to accelerate the individual capacity for positive change- ways to systematically, repeatably, apply the entrepreneurial approach toward environmental and social justiceThe principles I'm working from:- The community holds the knowledge and experience.- We facilitate their wisdom- We orchestrate their solutionSo... if anyone has anything that maybe relevant (connections, docs, initiatives, etc.) to either of those areas that I'm exploring, I'd love to hear about them!

02.13.07It’s just money.Well, I'm back.It's been an interesting start to the year and I'm starting to test some of the examples of this 'model' I've been developing and have actually, unbeknown to me, wound up in a project that actually represents the model I'm developing (funny how that happens). I guess that's partly because, as with most things, the model isn't really new. It's essentially just an intentional version of the common entrepreneurial approach. What seems to strike people most however is not the approach but the idea that the seed financing happens before there's even an idea... where ...
