Operationalizing a six-sphere model, in the name of Community and Economic Development

Submitted by Sudhir Kade on Mon, 06/29/2009 - 09:47.

As I've mentioned previously, many of my six years with REALNEO to date have been spent in pursuit of a core research question - that economic development and community development can become equated under a frame of quality of life and place enrichment.  This has been proposed previously and backed by many of my theoretical pieces.  Now, as I shift to operationalization of the theory, it becomes more important to request feedback and input from the variously communities

REALNEO copycats

Submitted by lmcshane on Mon, 06/22/2009 - 07:21.

Another attempt to spin off REALNEO...only with strings in all the right places...

Norm--Chris reminds me that it took Einstein years of working in obscurity to finally get recognition for his ideas...I suppose you should take the attitude that imitation is the sincerest form of praise, but these spin-offs are just that...spinning...spinning..around and around...to nowhere.

Welcome to Real NEO; Open Source Capital of the Brightest Greenest State of Earth

Submitted by Norm Roulet on Fri, 06/19/2009 - 13:00.

Smartest Greenest Breuer

Over the past 20 years, I've spent most of my "professional" time as an entrepreneur, with world-class expertise conducting multi-dimensional, multi-client relational comparative data and best practice analyses of any aspects of the world's largest and best global enterprises, environments and systems, and developing and consulting on innovations and total quality improvement. This work has generated a wealth of knowledge on large general systems, with a unique expertise in information systems and telecommunications. REALNEO is a product of this highest level expertise, drawn from the best practices of the best organizations on Earth. What REALNEO has developed for Cuyahoga County - what has been generated out of the REALNEO-generated Real Cooperative - takes general systems innovation to a whole new level of making us the brightest greenest place on Earth. So, we really do have a purpose to Cuyahoga County owning the Breuer, and the vision is beautifully expressed in this great rendering above, to be REAL COOP citizen headquarters of the open source capital of this brightest greenest state of Earth.

Councilman Joe Santiago is pissing our tax dollars away - What is wrong with this picture?

Submitted by Henry Senyak on Tue, 06/09/2009 - 23:55.

I am sure this will be supported by Action Jackson & Marty Sweeney!

WHY does not Sweeney fit the bill for this out of his Campaign Account or dig into the Council Leadership fund. I was at City Council Last night Santiago left about 40 minutes before the meeting was over, he got his photo op with the GLBT and split.  Action Jackson can spread his Campaign money too.
