Strategic Plan Introduction

Our goal is to create a parallel Open Source Economy that captures a 0.1% of the global market share of all physical production by 2023. This production includes food, energy, housing, fuel, ground transportation, electromechanical technology, and microelectronics. An open source economy is defined as an economy marked by efficient production of physical goods and other products. Efficiency is defined as access to open source design, open source business models, and Distributive Enterprise – implying relocalization of physical production. This is marked by collaborative product development and elimination of competitive waste. The tactical approach to achieving the above begins with development and beta testing - of a scalable, open source product development methodology by year-end 2013 - also known as Distributive Enterprise creation. Then, the Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) will be developed rapidly in 2014-2015 as proof of this methodology. The GVCS consists of these tools:

Funding for GVCS development is obtained via bootstrapping production - meaning that the products developed as a result of the Distributive Enterprise platform are sold on the open market. Because of our significant social capital, marked by the popularity of the GVCS TED Talk - we are also leveraging nonprofit sector support to deliver the GVCS and the replication of the GVCS by means of Distributive Enterprise training - see Distributive Enterprise.
