Civic Networks Prepare People and Communities to Shift to Rapid Regional Innovation
I-Open Civic Forums build the open, neutral spaces for conversations informed by people's insights and innovations to catalyze transformative initiatives.
Civic Forum conversations begin to build the important civic networks between people, their ideas and resources.
This review describes the networks and opportunities generated by I-Open's activities in Northeast Ohio from 2006 through 2009.
The design (or "framing") of I-Open Civic Forum conversations is recorded in this I-Open Civic Forum Matrix 2006-2009; a model for an organized approach to a balanced investment of people's time, attention, and participation in dialogue as it relates to economic development.
View the corresponding Northeast Ohio Matrix 2006-2009 here.
