Innovation Commons Network Newsletter Greetings! Sorry for the long absence. I tried to get too much done in too little time. None of you ever did anything like that, did you? I was hoping to make this effort short and intense and have completed most of the work by the end of last year. It is obvious now that my schedule and yours does not allow that type of prolonged focus and involvement. So, I've changed plans. The pace of the project will be slower, but no less complete. It actually might give us time to add additional information and people into the conversation. It's been gratifying to see how interested you are in the topic. I believe it is one of the key problems to resolve if we're going to be able to move into the "hyper productive" phase of the third industrial revolution. Note: Make sure that you read David Snyder's article on Extra-preneurship in the upcoming edition of The Innovation Road Map Magazine. (However, you can download the article now.) It's relevant to our discussion. It's also good to see that you have continued to add material to the blog. However, many of you have never signed-up as members of the blog. And, while you can read the blog if you're not a member, you can't contribute unless you are. If you still would like to contribute to the blog but forgot where the confirming e-mail is, send me an e-mail and I'll see if I can get you enlisted. In the meantime, keep up the good work. While I've been absent from this task, I've been thinking about the project and I have a number of new blog entries that I'll be adding over the next several weeks. The blog is found at http://innovationcommons.blogspot.com. As I stated in the first newsletter, we will be using four tools - the blog, surveys, telephone conferences and a web site. The blog is for the discussion of concepts, the surveys will be used to rank and sort concepts, the phone conferences will be used for discussion and clarification, and the web site will be used to house the results of our work. The web site is at www.theinnovationroadmap.com/icn/index.html. Access requires an ID and password. Use Network as your User Name and Innovation as your Password. If you didn't get the original newsletter describing the process, it is resident on the web site (http://www.theinnovationroadmap.com/icn/index.html). Paul Schumann Read the Blog Ground
