HintLightbulb.png Hint: The OSE vision is Colaborative Design for a transparent and inclusive economy of abundance.

Collaborative

  • The starting premise is that - as spoken about open source software - with enough eyeballs on a problem - any bug is shallow
  • We believe that true collaboration means that we need to work less to get better results. If it takes as long or longer, and the results are not improved - that is not a good example of true collaboration.
  • Collaborative Literacy includes both the mindset and the skill set to cooperate.
  • Collaborative means sharing. Sharing means Sharing in the economic sense.

Transparent

  • Transparency is related to rapid learning, and everyone having an opportunity to learn and grow so that the playing field is more even
  • Open source
  • Publish early and often
  • Self-esteem and a Growth Mindset is required to publish early and often

Inclusive

  • Includes all people
  • Includes nature - thus a central theme of OSE work is ecological regeneration
  • Eco means that we are not wasteful

Abundance

  • Abundance is not essentially a physical state - it is essentially a mental state.
  • Abundance is more than prosperity. It is a Growth Mindset.
  • In designing products, abundance implies modular design - such as Incremental Housing or Incremental Tractors - and a Construction Set Approach.
  • To have abundance, we must be generous. The world has enough for everyone's needs, but not everyone's greed - Gandhi. The world has enough for everybody's need - but not enough - even for a single person's greed.
  • To have abundance, we cannot be wasteful. Abundance relies on wise stewardship of resources.
  • Abundance includes low cost, because this lowers barriers to entry
