Integrated Enterprise

Summary

Integrated enterprise is a small, distributed, scalable enterprise (thus capable of creating enterprise at scale) where the principal engaged has 10x the skill set in terms of breadth (effective wielding of 10x the number of skills or expertise) - while maintaining 10x the value creation capacity comparable to similar, existing enterprises. Thus arises from Collaborative Education and its resulting access to 10x the proficiency in operations and organization; 10x lower capitalization cost due to availability of Open Sector support infrastructure. Open Sector infrastructure provides open access to the knowhow and capital tools required in an enterprise. Lifetime Design enables access to tool maintenance at zero marginal cost via skill requirement of the operator, as enabled by Degenerate Design.

The nature of the enterprise is one borne by closely-knit collaboratively-literate cohort, along the lines of Open, Global, Economic Collaborative Literacy. Radical transparency, personal and organizational, is a common theme, with achievement awards and ignobility awards tracked annually, such as from Team Collaborator Award to Team Asshole. An Open Books dash board shows returns, and each person's role in it. This is all done with respect to open culture of lifelong learning where we learn about esteem, humility, character building, vulnerability, stoicism, grit, health, feelings, moral intelligence, peak performance, etc. this is for the seekers of lifelong learning, to attain a level as close to our optimal as possible.

IE results on open dissemination of franchise opportunities. Franchise support received by franchisees is based on the amount that franchisees put into the franchise as part of their training, through a 6 year franchise program - part of the OSE Apprenticeship.

Technical

Enterprise here is used in the broad sense: any human undertaking - possibly solopreneurial but more likely revolving around movements, organizations, and institutions.

Enterprise based on Integrated Education, Integrated Design, and focusing on deep missions of solving pressing world issues, humanely.

Such enterprise is fundamentally Distributive, and thus highly scalable for solving The Last Frontier of Economics. It also involves Work-Life Integration.

The essential characteristics of integrated enterprise are:

1. Integrated agents - the entrepreneurs involved are solopreneurship-capable collaborators - meaning that they can operate either with minimum staff or large teams. Solopreneurs in the integrated enterprise sense are those individuals who can engage in 10x the amount of different roles - effectively and with high efficiency - compared to an average professional. This is achieved by Integrated Education. Rapid learning is the key to a multifaceted skill set. Naturally, high skill set means high value generation, closer to the true potential of any person who chooses not to hyperspecialize. We select for integrated agency 10x over hyperspecialization, and our education programs are designed to transition individuals from their hyperspecialized roles to integrated agency.
2. Enterprise integration - mainly Vertical Integration, Product Ecologies, and Intersectoral Integration. Vertical Integration (supply chain import substution); Horizontal Integration (not so much product consolidation but more about product ecologies in the sense of related and interoperable products); integration of product lines into robust, interoperable product ecosystems via the Construction Set Approach and Product Ecologies; Intersectoral Integration - meaning that an enterprise operates across the sectors of the economy.

In simple terms, this enterprise has Integrated Marketing.

Examples

• For example, the integrated version of the Seed Eco-Home enterprise is designed to include the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth sectors as needed depending on the scale and scope of the enterprise. In such an enterprise, the average builder can perform the work of 10-20 different tradespeople. Such an enterprise is capable of producing their own custom home designs - while producing construction materials from renewable materials and energy, and building its own tools and construction machines as needed. Such an enterprise is also capable of automating its operations at any level and scale via software and robotics. Given that the enterprise is flexible and part of a flexible fabrication paradigm, it can upsize, downsize, and differentiate readily into other enterprises based on a Construction Set Approach to the production facility and to the product line.
