GLOBAL COLLABORATION FROM AN EUROPEAN ("EUnal") PERSPECTIVE

This is an collaborative project initiated by Kurt and Helge after IST 2006 Helsinki. We are inviting innovative brains from Europe, EU countries and globally to work on this collaborative document. Being here should be a global an essential collaboration experience, a free and creative experiment to every InnoStar team member. Ahmed Razib joined the team 3 Dec 2006.

Nice to have you here Ahmed Razib. Feel free to add, edit and comment. This is a EU / Global experiment (Helge)
This is a workin platform. It can be published as well, but this should be considered as a draft and work in progress

Nice work, Helge! Just go on. Kurre 3/12 10:45

Finland is a small country with a population smaller than one promille of the global population

Added value can only come through innovative global collaboration

Networking

There was a time, in the distant past, when technology mainly took the form of simple tools, each used for a particular purpose. But technology gets more complicated as it advances. The simple tools become more elaborate, and they begin to merge into ever more complex systems. Today, a lot of the products that companies produce are components of much larger systems, and the success of those products can hinge as much on the other components of the systems as on their own particular qualities. Making sense of the systems and, in particular, how they're likely to evolve can give a company a big advantage over less insightful competitors. But making sense of technological systems is hard.

Social Intelligence

The Nordic facts and technology centred approach to problems and opportunities can sometimes be cold and distancing (It might work well in b-to-b but we need a new approach to engage the masses, grass-roots and consumers)

The Mediterranean Cafe culture is contributing to the Social Collaboration

All successful User Generated Content models (USG) have succeeded in attracting big crowds of grass-roots collaborators

How can we avoid to get boxed in a geeks and specialists speech and language trap?

Knowledge Management

Drupal - the open source platform

The ACAAL, CONSEN and other community and technology platforms

What kind of corporate and community users are using Drupal?

Wiki is the next generation collaboration tool if we consider the email as the web 1.0 collaboration application

ÔÇ£Wikipedia was written to power an encyclopedia,ÔÇØ Gohr said via IM on Friday Decemeber 1, 2006. ÔÇ£Not everyone needs an encyclopedia. Others might have the need to have the wiki integrated into enterprise structures. There are various different use cases for wikis and various different engines and each does things a little bit different. If you decide to replace the Intranet of a 5,000+ employee company with a wiki you may need to compare different choices. ThatÔÇÖs what WikiMatrix is for.ÔÇØ

FP 7 Strategies for Leadership

The IST 2006 Conference Programme looks at one of the central questions facing European competitiveness today from two different angles. IST 2006 is being held as the Commission launches FP7, its Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Development (see the EU's IST research programmes), so one of the main themes of the event will be FP7's ICT objectives and procedures.

What are the goals? "Creating a virtuous cycle between ICT research innovation and socio-economic benefits"

What kind of participants and contributors are we looking for?

Kurt and Helge can mobilize the Baltic and Nordic people to this collaboration within the FP7 framework

Vivianne Reding - The home page

The European Union puts considerable emphasis on the need to invest more in research. By increasing our knowledge base, Europe will be more able to address its challenges for the future such as climate change, energy security or the ageing population. Increased emphasis on industrial research and innovation will lead to new products and services that will boost EuropeÔÇÖs international competitiveness.

Climate change

Energy Security

Agening Population

Industrial Research and Innovation

New Products and Services

The EU has responded to the increased need for coordinated and focussed research with the Seventh Research Framework Programme, due to be voted by the European Parliament on 30 November, for final adoption by the Council of Ministers on 5 December. The European Commission is making available information to help guide the press through this comprehensive programme, the biggest yet at European level.

European Research 2007 - 2013

In today's EU, however, ICT research does not take place in isolation. Reflecting the central importance ICTs play in stimulating innovation and competitiveness in all areas of industry, the conference programme will also contribute to the creation of a virtuous cycle between ICT research innovation and socio-economic benefits.

Purely scientific and technical subjects, on the other hand, will be addressed in the networking and workshop sessions.

True collaboration:

I can see that we are heading towards true real-time multilateral collaboration

Here we could install a RSS news feed window (not too big) using our essential key words. Is it possible?

Helge: About RSS. We have to test it, how to install it.

This is the Kurt and Helge initiated" Innovation Society" strategy paper, an online collaboration effort, a work in progress, we're updating the content on a continuous basis. This is an open document and we will ask for more collaborators to participate when we start to get some structure to our approach. 29 November 2006: "This looks like a very functional platform. We're updating the content on a continuous basis and there is a feeling that this is really going to add some value to collaboration," writes Helge Keitel.

History

Kurt and Helge started to Collaborate 2002?

Our first meeting was at a eWork seminar at the Technical High School in Otaniemi, Finland (Dipoli)

Helge presented the Digital Villages concept, a local community development project (1999 - 2005)

Kurt presented his personal EU model at the eWork seminar at Dipoli, Otaniemi, Finland

Kurt was active in the national Duuni network as an online moderator and also active in various Finnish Information Society forums

Helge and Kurt used to discuss in the national business and information technology forums

Helge came to Kurre's office with a buss full of VIPs from It├ñ-Uusimaa (Southeastern Finland) and Kurt was profiled as a prototype distance worker and online collaborator that had been using modern tools ICT tools since early 70's

Helge has introduced and expanded the use of Collaborative tools in numerous micro companies and there is an emerging infrastructure of micro companies expanding their marketing and collaboration reach with the help of low-cost and easy to use communication tools

Collaboration isn't a quick fix: it takes a team with the right mindset to get started and to achieve results

We've acquired quite a lot of experience about the time it takes for users to become active collaborators

It's important to take out the complexity from collaboration

The individual working alone on his/her desktop or laptop is still a prevailing working style (metaphor) in most organizations

Our Common Strategy
Let's develop and chrystallize this to be exact and still an essential part of our personal strategies:

Digital Villages is a historical process that now has a 2nd life on a global scale

Digital Villages started from a hyper-local perspective: Wirby the Global Village TV-program 1999 as starting point and Helge's ("Wiiril├ñ Werkossa Wiikottain" was a blog before blogs about a small village in Southeastern Finland and was started late 1996)

We're now expanding the collaboration into an European / Global perspective

We believe that international interaction grows the perspective of all its participants

We think individuals don't always need their feet, they can use their heads together

The Open Source Collaboration Methodology is bringing a new dimension to our work

We are moving from a Desktop Publishing and individualistic work style to a collaborative working mode

Our personal projects

The Personal EU (by Kurre)

Personal EU circle My vision Personal EU is a "new organization level of the European Union"

It enlarges a single citizen's value into an union-wide level

Each Personal EU team consists of one person from (up to) every EU country

In every EU country there is someone like you - and they all should have the pleasure to innovate together

The Personal EU Finder chooses the team: persons with equal challenge profile, one per country

The nature of Personal EU is "life-long, union-wide, challenge-high"

To ensure a rich communication culture, Personal EU uses (as soon as possible) any language-to-any language online translation and interpretation

The collaboration is pleasant because of various team tools, such as:

The Voter, allows voting about any subject and shows an illustration of the team's election results

The Comparer, grows a local fact to a list of parallel information from each member state (good ground for innovation)

The Projecter collects the member resources to a business prototype and describes the roles and challenges of each member in it

The Buyer/Seller manages money flows between team members and in banking

The Elevator takes the best common suggestions f.ex. to the Commission's floor

The Personal EU Academy serves all Personal EU teams virtually and face-to-face - helping the clumsy hierarchic society turn into an innovative human centric "EUnal" society.

A good "official" Personal EU pilot system could easily become 100 EU10 user teams within a couple of months, 5000 user teams within one year and 100 000 user teams within 5 years. The development speed of the online translation tool is a critical factor for reaching f.ex. one million Personal EU teams and more. One million Personal EU25 teams cover just 5 % of the EU population - tomorrows lifestyle and a fascinating tool like Personal EU could easily grow the percentage to 30-50.

Inviting individuals from different EU countries to develop this collaborative document would turn it into an union-wide "living lab" and "projectable test bed" towards a Personal EU era.

"This is what I've always said about the 'Personal EU'" (after page 4 mostly in English)

Local WiFi Community Building Example

FON, the largest WiFi community in the world, is powered by the belief that the Internet should be everywhere there are people. Building a network from the ground up, FON members willingly share their wireless access at home. In return, they enjoy free WiFi and VOIP wherever they find another member's access point. In this example, entrepreneur Ejovi Nuwere explains the energy behind the FON movement for "everyone, everywhere" Internet access, driven by the explosion of ubiquitous bandwidth and WiFi-enabled devices.

The mash up and convergence of Internet, Web 2.0, wireless, mobile, Wi-Fi, WiMax, Bluetooth

And connecting objects and machines with RFID and optical IDs

Mobility is the big differentiating factor for Europe compared with US

Innovation is the differentiating factor in relationship to emerging new economies in Asia

Europe has to struggle in becoming competitive with new production strategies

Unemployment and ageing is a big issue for EU

I'm curious about the evolution of this project and what the time-span from idea to action will be
The word Collaboration takes one second to write, but starting to Collaborate can take years
The quality of innovations created in collaboration is a very intriquing question
This work is inspiring new ideas: It's a kind of time shifted structured talk in the cyber universe

FP7 and CONSEN

CONSEN : With its strengths in communication equipment, devices, networks and eServices, Europe is well placed in the world-wide race to define and develop the network and service infrastructures of the future. These will generate new innovative products, business models and economic opportunities with new integrated applications, whilst reducing operational expenditures.

The challenge is to deliver the next generation of ubiquitous and converged network and service infrastructures for communication, computing and media. This entails overcoming the scalability, flexibility, dependability and security bottlenecks, as todayÔÇÖs network and service architectures are primarily static and able to support only a limited number of devices, service features and limited confidence.

Such new infrastructures will permit the emergence of a large variety of business models using dynamic and seamless end-to-end composability of resources across a multiplicity of devices, networks, providers and service domains.

Web 2.0 to Mobile 2.0 Phones

Nokia's CEO at shareholder meeting in Netherlands

User generated content

Why do everyone speak about iPods and new gaming consoles while the mobile phone's business is decades bigger?

Are mobile phones becoming commodities?

The mobile culture isn't as exciting as before

What new could we bring to the table?

The transformation of Web 2.0 features into Mobile phones is going to be a mega-size opportunity. Understanding the collaboration culture is important and community building knowledge has great value.

The big deal is going to be, how to create compelling content that leads to new consumer experiences. The mobilization of business applications with the office in your pocket and mobile educational applications are important development areas as well.

Web 2.0 features to Mobile 2.0

Nokia's CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo is visioning that the next big step is to get and generate more money with mobile phones by integrating Web 2.0 collaborative features into mobile phones

What could be our role as an European wide Open Source Methodology developer in expanding and transforming Web 2.0 features to Mobile 2.0 where collaboration and user generated content have a central role?

What can we bring to the table?

Opinion, thought, and observations about customer experiences and the impact they have on business.

"During 2006, a National Knowledge Society Strategy for 2007-2015 has been drafted as part of the implementation of Finnish Government's Information Society Programme. The Strategy outlines a national vision and strategic intent concerning the kind of information society we want in Finland. In addition to the current state of the Finnish information society, the strategy describes changes in the national and international operating environment. The Strategy includes a concrete implementation programme extending to the next Government
