We do not have this "figured out" but are hoping instead to engage a number of members to talk through what they need, and also how we might organize to meet that need.  There have been a number of technical discussions as well about how we can technically integrate our products.  This will not be one of those technical discussions. The technology is an important part (and I say this coming from my background of being a geek :-) ) yet, we will not spend anytime on talking about technical integrations, but instead how we can organize as businesses... (the technology and implementation will follow once a group of us see an opportunity for it).
 
  
Please come and join in the discussion if you would like to.  This will be a continuing part of discussions behind this new idea of organizing, as we look for opportunities to increase the amount of value (read this as sales, product opportunities, otherwise)  that we, as bootstrappers, can create through working together.

As I mentioned to Tom last night, the sort of thing we were talking about in last night's conversation (stemming from the Enterprise 2.0 and currency discussions) was beginning to sound quite a bit like Value Networks, a concept I've been getting into since hearing Verna Allee speak about it at MeshForum last June.

Revision as of 13:09, 16 August 2006

Following on the pre-meeting discussion that we had together before two meetings ago, Tom Brown and I are going to have a pre-meeting before Monday evening main meeting on what we are calling "Enterprise 2.0".

Details: 5:30 pm this Monday (before main meeting) open Enterprise 2.0 Discussion "Matching un-met needs with un-used resources"

This is going to be an open discussion to discuss "what is possible" and how we, as businesses, can organize and work together as bootstrappers. The idea here is to brainstorm and discuss how is it that we can work together at a more integrated level- tha is beyond just asking each other on this list for referrals.
