Inventing that Helps Tiny Businesses

In general I am a student of “process”. I try to observe and understand what really makes things tick. This has relevance to transparency, democracy, and empowerment issues. Sometimes the most important things for the populace to know, are things that some relatively “few” people within the populace don’t want others to know. When students of process are observing and trying to understand your process, they risk being viewed as a pain in the neck – it’s not an activity where one should expect to get lots of “high fives”.

Some subjects that catch my interest are listed below:

Topsoil

Process Transparency

RiskParticipation

BetterAutomation

Wishing :-)

Hi Martin, I would suggest you ask people to think and respond to WikiWork that you think is valuable to the conversation. ~~ MarkDilley

Mark, I never tried that before because I thought it was bad Wiki etiquette – being too “pushy” - rather if people have interest in the topic they go there on their own.

RiskSharing

Thanks Mark! I see this is posted at Department of Agricultural & Resource Economics, UCB. Note this is the type of subject matter the USDA's cooperative division deals with, also the cooperative attorney I mentioned on the phone.

IncomePilotProject

Martin, word to the wise, give a link when sending a message asking someone to look at something, like this: IncomePilotProject. It's now on my watchlist. I'm not clear what the next steps are, but I'll be watching and will jump in when I see an opportunity. TedErnst

Thanks for the great advice Ted - I will do next time! I am also not clear on the next steps. I suspect however that in some way more awareness must be gained, or very few will participate in this brainstorming - so I am interested to see if some others have ideas on how to gain more participants.
