Introduction

 

The Five Commons constitutes an evolving vision of the emerging 21st Century economy. Each of the five commons represents a key area in which transition is apparent.

 

The Forward Foundation hopes that by sharing this vision, people will find clues and insights into new ways of structuring human activity and sustainable living.

I just got back from San Francisco attending the Institute for the Future's "Ten Year Forecast" where I got to talk about a model I did which they used in a piece called "Open Scale."The basic idea is that social mechanisms enabled by collaborative technologies allow open groups to leverage the advantages of large-scale organization. These advantages are just not available to closed groups.
