Judson Smart Living is a continuing care environment located in University Circle, Cleveland, Ohio. Judson is an accredited, not-for-profit continuing care retirement community that has served Northeast Ohio since 1906.

The Judson Album helps us understand surroundings and assets simply by taking the time to appreciate what we may otherwise overlook. Image albums are tools for face-to-face and online communities to develop a stronger sense of context for actual people and places.

You can learn how to nurture compassionate care for relationship building from Judson's Director of Resident Life, Lin Bartel, in this interview at I-Open on Vimeo.

In the video below, Jackie shares a brief introduction about why her work applied in relation to nature, natural systems and fine-tuned through shared experiences with large animals - specifically horses -advances the discovery of successful leadership practice. We can apply all of these lessons to building social networks for collaboration in open innovation systems.
