OpenOrganizations

MeatballWiki | RecentChanges | Random Page | Indices | Categories

The goal of this project is to explain how to set up and maintain transparent, diverse, accountable and truly participative organizations or communities, focusing on elaborating a concrete framework for action called "Open Organizations". This framework:

is in a large part the result of observing and distilling the patterns, or processes, in the functioning of existing organizations.
is a functional organizational structure, since it is developing according to the understanding that theory and practice rely on each other.
is modular, people can choose to adopt in part or whole.
can be used to as a tool to analyse other organizations.
does not pretend to be the only one model, nor suitable to all organizations who subscribe to values that it promotes, but it can be a valid alternative for some.

To whomever filled out this page, thank you so much. If you see the note at the end of NonProfit a la CreativeCommons, I had a similar idea, but I can see you're already on top of it. I'll poke around some more rather than reinvent the wheel, as some of us had already started doing. -- SunirShah
