The Commons Group provides research, strategy and planning services that build on the most powerful qualities of the Internet - partnership, community, commonspace. We believe that the open, collaborative nature of the Internet can help organizations become better at what they do. It can bring them closer to clients, improve working relationships and create opportunities for completely new kinds of services. The Commons Group isn't just about practical solutions ... it's also about big, compelling ideas and visions. Articles are available on the following topics, among others: * Commonspace: Beyond Virtual Community * Balancing Mission and Money: Building Sustainable Electronic Networks for Civil Society From the back cover of the book, _Commonspace_: Commonspace is the collective mind of the Internet, a synergy built from the space between the bits and fuelled entirely by people power. As the Internet grows, commonspace is changing the way we live, think, play and do business. [The authors] provide a detailed cognitive map of the emerging virtual landscape, and a set of tools that will help readers draw on the power of the collective. |
