Values Survey Status
The Innovation Commons Values Survey is now closed. Fifteen intrepid souls worked through the 125 values in order to identify the values most important to a successful innovation commons. This is not a sufficient number of participants to claim any significance for the results. The following is a plan to try to obtain significance for this project.

I will analyze the results and use this survey as a preliminary survey to select the top values. Then, I will facilitate a web conference on the results. This will be followed by a second survey of only the top values.

The web conference will include a general discussion of the values, a summary of the results of the survey, and an opportunity to discuss the higher ranked values.

The web conference will be held on Wednesday, September 21st at 12 noon CDT. The conference is free.

To join the conference:

Toll Free: 866.740.1260

Toll: 303.248.0285

Access Code: 3021935

Web Site: http://www.readytalk.com

Follow the instructions to register for the conference.

If you are outside the US and want to join this conference, send me an e-mail and I'll check for International access in your country

Blog
There are a number of new entries in the blog. And, I've got quite a few more that I'm planning to write. Please take the time to read the blog and comment on the entries. If you've joined the blog and have the time to post new entries, please do so. The blog is here

Process
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.

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).

Ground Rules
There are very few ground rules for participation. We trust that if you take away something from this experience that you will give back at least as much as you take. No solicitation or promotion is permitted. Be nice. Be honest.
