OSE Collaborative Literacy

Global collaboration towards mass creation of right livelihoods relies on a cultural literacy consistent with the core goals of OSE. Those goals are stated most succinctly under the heading of Collaborative Literacy.

• for the technical tools, the tools exist and can be simple. No fancy platform is as needed as a cultural understanding of how the collaborative process works. Key concepts include general semantics, time binding, and economic time binding - towards realization of mass creation of right livelihoods, meaning Deep Nonviolence. The Deep Nonviolence concept must be understood clearly to inspire.
• The bottom line is that the OSE cultural literacy can be taught. It is an operating system of principles - once understood - which lead to a convergent, 'degenerate solution'
• if cultural literacy can be taught, then the technical tools will fall into place by various contributors.
• The gate is a commit mechanism - but the development can happen when specifications and requirements are known.
• specifications and requirements can be derived by corollary and inference and directive from the philosophy and most general principles. The trick lies in the keenness of applying general principles to design specifications and requirements.
• A Process Manager needs to understand the culture before becoming a process manager.
• Therefore, the leader's paramount activity needs to be teaching the culture
• Culture is teachable best via practice and dogfooding - hence the deep level of lifestyle integration at OSE
