Dr. Peter Margolis contributed the interview above to the Institute for Open Economic Networks (I-Open) 4415 Euclid Ave 3rd Fl Cleveland, Ohio 44103 USA Aug 2009.

A Civic Perspective: Health Care and Justice

Gwen Fischer, Prof. Emeritus, Hiram College, Single-Payer Action Networks (SPAN) of Ohio and Debbie Silverstein, Single-Payer Action Networks (SPAN) of Ohio talk about the deteriorating state of health care access for U.S. citizens over the last generation. Gwen and Debbie share health care advocacy and personal perspectives in preparation for the March 2009 Midtown Brews civic forum, “The New Landscape of Health Care Reform,” in Cleveland, Ohio. (You can learn more about I-Open civic conversations at Midtown Brews)

Gwen and Debbie’s conversation is not unique; it is one of a million conversations going on now that identify new opportunities for whole system change. Conversations like these illuminate how to improve patient and family care, information access and service delivery, and large scale implementation of preventative medicine, disease evaluation and diagnosis.

Our opportunity is to connect civic, research and industry leaders to advance innovations targeted to health care delivery and preventative medicine for US citizens and the world.

At the October COINs conference, filmmaker Jesse Dylan will explore questions and solutions in his conference keynote address and talk about Lybba, the open source health care resource he founded.

The COINs 2010 conference brings leaders like Jesse in health care with others in design, technology, government, education, and transportation to share knowledge. It is in such a culture of openness, transparency, and compassion that global transformational advances will be discovered.

WORKSHOP HIGHLIGHT: Creating Conditions for Effective Global Teaming

There are many reasons why companies form global teams to work internationally and interdependently towards a common goal.  Global teams can be created to develop global strategies, or to work locally to execute these strategies, or both.  Multinational corporations often create global research and development teams to benefit from site-specific scientific expertise that is not available in one location, but is spread around the world.  Still, other companies create global teams in specific functional areas, like sales and marketing, and then have representatives of that function from around the world collaborate in teams.  This enables the organization to benefit from a diversity of perspectives and services that can match or fulfill the needs of a global client, wherever that client might be located.  No matter what the reason for the formation of a global team or what form the team takes, leaders and team members must address the complexity of global teamwork by architecting new ways of collaborating. These factors must be considered and managed in designing and forming global teams to perform successfully.  Stakeholders, team leaders and team members can actively participate in creating conditions prior to the start-up of a team that can provide and enhance the likelihood that the team will achieve its objective. view more workshops.

Super Science Initiative: New Frontiers for Collaboration

Check out this website I found at innovation.gov.au

Australia and Ireland are investing in innovation and economic development based in universities focused on space and astronomy, marine and climate, and future industries.

These two forward thinking countries understand the direct connection between innovation, education, and economic development.

Beyond this, every country and region investing funds in innovation will need to invest as well in new habits of communication and collaboration.

One approach - COINs-collaborative innovation networks - is driven by swarm creativity and accelerates the formation of entrepreneurial cultures.

You can learn more about swarm creativity and COINs in this video interview with MIT research scientist, Peter Gloor. Additional resources are available here.

What's the value of one white paper?

Yesterday I received an unexpected e-mail greeting from a government IT leader based in Australia. While researching the Internet to lead a group of colleagues in a strategic project planning initiative, he came across the attached COINs 2009 conference presentation and offered these comments:

In "COINS: An economic development tool for education, economic and workforce development in Open Source Economic Development" the concepts are beautiful; if my workplace engaged in just 20% of them we would double communications engagement subsequently boosting productivity. Thank you for your paper Betsey, I am very pleased you wrote it."

Stories like these attest to why sharing on the web is a good idea. You can never know who or when the information you've shared will be useful. In networks, shared information has reciprocal value for anyone with initiative.

Serendipitous connections often begin with an element of collaborative leadership. For example, had it not been suggested to me to consider submitting a paper in 2009, I'm not sure I would have.

COINs 2010 conference brings a second year of sharing insights and innovations into the workings of creativity and collaboration. I hope you will join us for new conversations in Savannah and on the web - and definitely consider submitting a paper in 2011! 

Who knows what opportunity will bump into you?

- Betsey Merkel, I-Open
