Enterprise Track

Enterprise Track

5:30 PM Monday - Friday during the Summer of Extereme Design-Build 2021. This is like night school - for those ambitious individuals who want to get the most out of their Summer X experience.

1. Intended Audience -The Enterprise Track is dedicated to those individuals with a serious interest in starting an enterprise building Seed Eco-Home 2, and other derivatives later on. The method is learning to run build crews for rapid builds of the Seed Eco-Home 2 model, so that significant build time compression is possible using OSE's parallel build techniques. The intended revenue potential for running crews is at the $200k/year profit mark. This is based on the entrepreneur gaining an integrated skill set that allows them to function as a custom builder who leads a much larger portion of the build, as opposed to contractors who outsource all the tasks to subcontractors. The OSE advantage involves using open source blueprints that are constantly improving, optimizing and simplifying build procedures, requiring less skilled labor, and compressing build time by allowing for highly parallel workflows with modular design. There are significant advantages, see House_Value_Proposition
2. Co-Creation - This is likewise a collaborative, co-creation process in the format of a seminar where discussion is encouraged. During each seminar, we select documenters/note takers. The demands of participants include active commitment to documenting the lessons learned using cloud collaborative Google Docs.
3. Remote Participation - We have a remote participation option as well, but that is only for experienced builders who can assure that they can learn the actual build techniques on their own, either by using our online materials for free, or by attending our 14 day or 5 day crash course for builders. We have a 1Gig fat pipe, so we will be streaming our enterprise session to remote participants on 3 screens, with the main presenter and 2-3 additional angles - so that remote participants can get as close to the live setting as possible.
4. Expectations - This is a complete experience of co-created genius, with all results published openly for anyone to replicate. Our intent is to deliver Housing 2.0 in a distributed, open source way. Our vision is solving housing - much more than just making a living. The former guarantees the latter in our view. The enterprise track has the same flavor as the rest of OSE work: we co-create so we take advantage of Open Source Optimization. If you are looking for us to give you a turnkey business, you've come to the wrong place. If you are looking for us to provide you with the required technical knowhow for building Seed Eco-Homes, and to share all that we have learned about building Seed Eco-Homes for clients - then you have come to the right place. We know how to build houses. But the ability to build a house is in no way correlated to run a house building business. There are no guarantees in business, whose success is up to you. And after our training, we'd love to hire you to build with us, or you can go off on yuor own. We are relentless, and we are building on a decade of building and prototyping in order to succeed on a scalable, distributed enterprise. If you would like to be on the crew of open source immortals that brings this to life - then the enterprise track is for you.
