Nate,
I was encouraged by your TED talk and your Website. We have some tools that could help with your vision.Here is a short video that gives you some flavor of the ways we help communities collaborate much more efficiently and effectively. This recording (best viewed in full-screen mode) was actually my practice session for a live presentation when we were finalists (working with Hunterdon County, NJ) for a RWJF grant on community collaboration to improve health (which was awarded to Hunterdon—and is going very well). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBi8-2usnu8

Nate,
Very excited to have found your website and initiatives- look forward to hearing more. I completely agree with everything here– was trying to remember words I had used in a cover letter for a non-profit (Taproot) that get to a similar idea: basically, that we ALL have a shared responsibility and stake in our communities. The possibilities to shape a better future through increased relationships and partnerships between government, academic institutions, businesses, individuals, etc. are truly endless. It’s likely the inner economist in me as well- but to me, this screams efficiency! I truly believe not only would individuals and societies have better social, environmental and otherwise outcomes- I actually think businesses would be benefit tremendously (and not just from a “more people to buy, so I sell more services/goods/products”) standpoint…I think it fosters innovation. There are so many opportunities for every entity/person within our society to work together, and leverage each other’s experience, knowledge, products and services to ultimately, benefit one another. We need to inject a much needed dose of creativity and flexibility into our current system and work towards a more connected and collective society.

Nate,

I’ve been pitching your TEDTalk here there and everywhere. Excellent!

Your points on intrinsic motivation, fun and play relates to Paha Sapa: Play it Forward initiative and others I’m involved in. I shared a flavor of it at DemocracyU forum:

Perhaps now is a good time to collaborate our energies.
