Members of our community in Derry/Londonderry Northern Ireland, are currently participating in a FutureSearch programme set up to engage as many people as possible in working out solutions to issues that confront us after some 40 years of conflict.  As a communitiy leader and member of the ILEX Transport & Infrastracture Strategic Working Group I am working with others on movement and connections.  Our political leaders need educated!!

I like the idea of trying to find certain patterns that work with one organization and trying to apply them to other situations.

There is an interesting article about this at:

I love your article and am just reading over your concept paper... I have been brainstorming and creating a very similar concept that deals with how organizations can not only organize and share best practices, but how they can partner and leverage their assets.  I would love to chat with you at some point about where you see the Social Innovation Commons heading and some of my recent work in the field (rural Kenya) working this same problem/phenomenon.
