The Collaborative Production model is a method of producing anything (ideas, agricultural products, machines, hardware, energy, fuel, energy, housing, etc.) where a skilled Lead Producer creates an infrastructure where less skilled individuals can participate in meaningful production.

The desired outcomes of this model are:

  • Decreased specialization of the Lead Producer by inclusion of others - thereby allowing the leader to increase the scope of the productive operation
  • Reskilling of unskilled people by lowering the barriers to effective production - thereby empowering individuals to become less specialized and therefore more effective.
  • Increased meaning in peoples' lives as people reconnect to their basic instincts to produce tangible results and to be effective in creating their own environment.
