Platforms for Integration through Collaborative Networks and Integrated Conversations
explores, describes, and develops a framework for understanding how to accelerate large-system evolution through the strategic leveraging of platforms that integrate people collaborating towards a deeper shared purpose
Ecosynomics 1.0 frames the scaling of social impact in terms of a set of agreements that is coherent at the same level of perceived reality across the four lenses of the Agreements Evidence Map
This agreements field coherence provides a continuum of social impact efforts from scarcity-based resource extraction power designed for accumulation to abundance-based tangibilization power designed for collaboration
The initial work of PICNIC seeks:
To characterize how people come together to leverage their potential, development, and outcomes towards a deeper purpose, framing how to understand what has been learned in the multitude of social impact and collaborative networks experiments around the globe
To map collaborative networks using Agreements Evidence Mapping to see what is unique and what is common across these experiments--how people have learned to realize communities of trust and unity in diversity, realizing spaces for collective productive work
To determine the process-design maturity of our experiences with platforms for integration, collaborative networks, and integrated collaborative conversations, using the Ecosynomic tools of the HV Move Process, the O Process for Co-hosting Collaboration, ecologies of consciousness, and the design levels of segregating, flocking, and uniting
To assess the outcomes and experience of how people come together in these efforts, using the Impact Resilience framework
To continuously explore the questions arising in the collaborative networks community
To test our emerging understanding in the many experiments PICNIC Fellows are running in their communities
To create a common narrative and a common domain of language around terms like collaboration, network, integrated, conversation, platforms
