Extreme Enterprise Book
Contents
Methodology
The methodology of the Extreme Enterprise Model revolves around publishing a comprehensive manual. The manual refers to and is supported by copious prototyping, plus enabling hardware and software tools.
The Manual can be an organizing point for a project of large scope, if the goal is to make this enterprise distributive, scalable, and replicable.
Thus, the content that we generate is intended to be generative. First, we educate people rapidly. Second - we lay out problem statements of outstanding issues and possibilities - to expand the index of possibilities and generate further involvement. Effectively, the contents can serve as job descriptions and project plans.
This expansive and inclusive nature of the work is a significant value proposition - and it generates further interest - at the same time that it provides the knowledge regarding action points and points of development.
Introduction
The XE Book serves multiple purposes:
- Clear organizational point regarding the content outcome of an Extreme Enterprise event.
- Extended manual for enterprise startup
- Provides some material for a shiny, popular version of the book - the Coffee Table book as promised in the 2016 OBI Kickstarter. Enlist a publisher as one of the participant-clients.
- First in a save the world series of manuals for Movement Entrepreneurs. The intent is a serious work on solving a major world issue by collaboration, and always only the beginning. Solving Pressing World Issues Book Series.
- Gamification for solving pressing world issues - the gamified version leverages the sit-on-ass industry to solve a pressing world issue by developing the most effective way to build a house in a game environment.
Table of Contents
The nature of the work is an enterprise blueprint, for techniques applicable to other pressing world issues. The model of change involves a proven technology baseline, and ambitious raise-the-bar add-ons of solar hydrogen for the related energy and transportation parts.
