COINS 2010 “Lybba - Unleashing swarm creativity to make open-source healthcare a reality”

In his opening keynote, Jesse Dylan, award winning director of the Obama campaign video "Yes we can" and Peter Gloor, MIT Research Scientist, talk together about Lybba - an open source approach to knowledge sharing and caring - is helping give life to the open source healthcare movement.

Lybba's mission is to connect people with the community, information, and resources they need to take care of themselves and one another. Lybba creates online environments, media campaigns, and social experiments that forge meaningful relationships between hospitals and schools, doctors and patients, researchers and policy-makers. The organization takes an ethical and ecological approach to every challenge it faces. It combines media, design, science, and technology to make a difference, free for all, free of commercial interest.

Jesse's ultimate goal is to bring together every patient looking for answers and provide a platform so that every stakeholder in chronic and rare diseases has a voice to create a community where innovation, empowerment, and compassion flourish.

Conversations such as the COINs 2010 Opening Keynote, are examples of sharing knowledge to advance creativity and dialogue widely for global industry competitive advantage.

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.

Maps - a set on Flickr

This set documents I-Open network and community building activity from 2003 to 2009 aided by the generous contributions of hundreds of civic entrepreneurs, many of whom reside in Northeast Ohio.

Data driven social network maps strengthen transparency by indicating where and with whom an entrepreneur can connect to access information or resources.

Many of the maps shown here are "experience maps" - non-data driven visualizations that document known flows of information or cycles of community maturation.

Maps such as these may mirror unrealized areas of research, data collection, and discovery in sociality, collaboration and enterprise development.

You can learn more about practices and tools in Open Source Economic Development at I-Open here and here.

COINS 2009 - a brief movie

This is a short film from my visit to Savannah, GA, October 8-11 for the COINS 2009 conference.

The film doesn't begin to capture the diversity of learning experiences from the conference but it does provide a sense of the quality interdisciplinary research presented, lovely surroundings, the collaborative and creative culture of the Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD), and caliber of innovative students SCAD is generating.

Thank you all SCAD organizers, participants, and partners. It was a pleasure to meet everyone. Enjoy the film!
