The Internet of Communities (IoC) is a vision of a social Web willfully designed to maximize social engagement by introducing a new set of collective incentives. First, the IoC aims to explore how collective reputation can be used as a catalyst to regulate social interactions. Secondly, the IoC promotes internally rewarding incentives rooted in positive emotions and in reciprocity to spark social engagement without the prior need to mobilize financial assets. Collective reputation is chosen as a means for collective governance and internally rewarding incentives are chosen as the prime motive for action. Within this scheme, influence is more likely to shift to those who positively impact their communities, to those who lead by example, and to those who reciprocate with fairness. Grounded in personal fulfilment and in social empowerment, the IoC is therefore an attempt to actualize greater human, social and economic value from online communities. Read our white paper.

By Andy Paice for Enlivening Edge Eros is that juicy energy of attraction, playfulness and creativity that humans experience in all kinds of contexts. So what does this particular energy have to do with organizational development and the movement to Reinvent Organizations? Recently, at the Integral European Conference, I discovered it might just be a vital ingredient in the fuel that drives next-stage organizations.

While much has been made of the need for introducing Wholeness into the

How can organizations support our authentic and meaningful engagement in work we actually care about? How can we value openness, participation, reputation, legitimacy, connectivity, and abundance in the way we work together? How can we can organize in ways that liberate rather than stifle our creati

Relational Synergistic Design encompasses all of these dimensions. The leadership role is akin to the cell membrane. (Not, as our current models suggest, the central DNA type role.) Once the design has been set in place and the threshold crossing named, the leader becomes almost invisible. Their chief function is to be in constant communication with the interior health of the cell, and to be scanning and collaborating with the exterior immediate world, then into the far off world outside the system, making fine tuned adjustments to the polarity of the cell to maintain its integrity/shape. Because the cell exists always in relationship to the whole, they must do this in full partnership and collaboration with the whole. At the same time, they must prevent any violation of the central DNA.
