James Flock, energy entrepreneur, Cleveland, Ohio, describes his enterprise solution - the socialization of energy - focused on personalized Energy Services (like the emerging personalized health care industry) in networked economies.

As an RF engineer, Jim's work experience is deeply rooted in MRI, Antennae and Radio Frequencies. He's applied his expert level skills to understand how communities can fine tune resonance to create signal and optimize energy delivery to only where it is needed.

Jim has thought through how value-based brands with services defined by community can lead to energy efficiency techniques. Understanding how corporations and homeowners prefer to experience energy as members of dynamic community systems, personalized energy delivery can be optimized and precise, efficient techniques developed. Ultimately, brands play a pivotal role in the embodiment of a service provider's energy efficient community culture.

In this in-depth and expansive interview, Jim describes project investment, construction methodology, and deliverables. In addition, Jim shares personal philosophies on information sharing, habits of collaboration, advice for youth working on the web, the value of sharing in networks for the purpose of "giving ahead", and how his enterprise will positively affect education, economic and workforce development, and sustainable communities 50 years from now.

Branding of non profit organizations, a case study of collaborative innovation and commercialization in the U.S.A. renewable energy industry

Note from author Jimmie Flock on Facebook:

"This work is the first installment in my journey into collaborative networks. I took a known problem, market demand for 'green' energy and the 'limited options in supply' and looked at the tools, innovation communities and branding to determine if these would be viable methods to address the market gap problem. The measurement focused on users of energy, their perception dimensions of a would be brand for this product concept."

..."I expect the next installment to be more focused specifically on constructing the brand elements (market segmentation specifics) for what would be a collaborative innovation organization, focused on service in the energy alternatives sector. The next step will be more focused on enterprising, applying the concepts laid out in the thesis."
