Chaordic Commons -- Six Lens Design Process

while we are preparing ourselves for a future business relationship, it wouldn't hurt to consider the elements that Dee Hock and the Chaordic
Commons have used to define relationships amongst collaborators. I don't propose that we establish a Chaordic Alliance, but the 6 lenses do offer us an interesting analysis of how we fit.

click on each of the elements of the 6 lens system to see each in more detail.

I will attempt to put up a simple 6 lens strawman ( where do these strawmen come from?) as a tool for understanding our values alignment either on the GM website or on this blog.

Chaordic Commons -- Six Lense Design Process

GroupMind evaluation

Critt and I ( mostly Critt) have been experimenting with GroupMindExpress and are making good progress in using the tools set for our collaboration. I think we need to consider putting a "shrink wrap" cover on the user interface ( Home is now the sitemap) and/or set up a bridge teleconference with "follow me" training to introduce additional participants to the site.

I will have Michael Kaufman do a site review to give us some 3rd party comments and suggestions.
