Smart people of different opinions pooling their resources and perspectives together, collectively providing advice to clients on how to fish for partners and support?
This is notable. And quite possibly encouraging. We'll see where this trend leads next...
FURTHER: As this piece is suddenly quite popular, here's where I think we're going wrong with selling public services in a quasi-capitalist model and an idea or two, conversation starters really, on how to capitalize on expanded knowledge of how people behave and new technology to nurture a more empowered, sustainable system. A healthy society, as it were.
UPDATED: This piece seems to be getting a lot of attention of late, which I will take as a positive thing. So, for those interested in learning more about the "teach to fish" model of doing business, be sure to check out Swerhun Facilitation as well. They make more than enough money doing what they do (amazing facilitation) to allow for them to dedicate staff time to their core objective of putting themselves out of business.
Yup, you read that right. The Swerhun folk (special props to Bianca and Yulia) want everyone - politicians, community groups, residents - to have the capacity to facilitate as well as they do.
They know it won't happen in their lifetime and even if it did, they're smart enough to find something else to get paid doing.
Empowering others - is there a future business model in this? Flies in the face of traditional capitalism, so we'll see. I remain hopeful.
