How Does All This Work?
Successful organizations use professional tools to manage their projects. These include custom-made project management templates and workflows for organizing their efforts. They use online-survey tools for gathering feedback and timelines to structure progress clearly and incrementally.
Data-storage applications manage all the little bits.
Who Actually Does the Work?
Some projects are designed for individuals, for example selling vegetable seeds and potting soil in one's neighborhood. Others coordinate teams of volunteers. Some projects are sponsored by local businesses who give discounts to participants. All projects are self-sufficient, generate income and provide value to the community.
Each of our current Pilot Projects centers on a core step-by-step project workflow designed to make inspired visions into tangible, even concrete, reality.
| "We seek peace, knowing that peace is the climate of freedom.
- Dwight D. Eisenhower (34th President of the United States) |
