1) Commons refer to shared resources that are subject to overexploitation, like knowledge and expertise embedded in organizations.
2) Network economics recombinates expertise in commons, challenging traditional hierarchies. Commons can foster lateral connections between innovation ecosystems.
3) Case studies show how sharing expertise in an Austrian SME led to more sustainable success than maximizing short term profits. Commons can help evaluate actions to connect micro and macro levels.
The Localized Productive System A Literature ReviewIJAEMSJORNAL
The localized productive system developed (LPS) by Courlet (1994) helps circumscribe the organization that binds the enterprises together in a territory and highlight the nature of the benefits (positive externalities, reduced transaction costs, better coordination between the actors of a territory) yielded by proximity. Indeed, the LPS is far from being a concept in the true sense of the word because it is interpreted in several ways. The LPS can be attached first to a broader interpretation of the economic phenomena: either it is the new techno-organizational paradigm of reference resulting from the swing of the global mode of production or it is a component or even a transition state of the new industrial organizations that are being set up. The LPS can also be attached to a more specific interpretation referring to the history of economic development according to which any local reality would be, at some point, more or less an LPS. It is but a unit of analysis, which, as the organization, sees its theoretical foundations vary according to approaches and authors. This means that the literature only analyzes the forms of organization in local systems, without explaining their foundations nor their evolution.
Designing Futures to Flourish: ISSS 2015 keynotePeter Jones
We now find ourselves as a systems thinking community inquiring into planetary governance for climate and ecological politics. The Anthropocene demands a planetary response, and yet we often find even our fellow travelers tethered to discourses of technological management, cultural change, and right action. We might now advocate a stronger role for social systems design as a process for continual engagement of citizen stakeholders, and between these citizens and policy makers, as advocated by Christakis, Ulrich and others. As we have seen power (economic and political) separate from its cultural histories, and become globalized, we may find ourselves in trajectories of action but with marginal power to effect societal outcomes.
We are faced with a dual mandate of restorative system design, recovering human needs in our communities, and policy system design, restoring the long historical arc toward democratic governance. And as these are both designable contexts, systemic design can integrate ecological, technological and design thinking to guide policy in more productive ways.
• We find ourselves captured in the politics of solutionism. Most presentations of the “problems” as stated before us reveal a trajectory of preferred solutions and their possible shortcomings.
• Climate change, even the entire Anthropocene aeonic perspective, represents a problematique of multiple effects systems. We are bound up in political discourses of “system change” and do not share a compelling common view of a flourishing world. We seem unable to reregister the most compelling societal choices and drivers save carbon mitigation.
• We have not conducted, to my knowledge, a substantial stakeholder discovery that extends beyond the immediate and obvious primary combatants in the climate change wars.
• As citizens and political actors on the planetary stage, we have been afraid or unable to present a clear view of the risk scenarios, possible governance strategies, or a normative plan for serious global investment. If the planet were a business concern, it would be in receivership by now.
REGIONS and THIRD PLACES - Valuing and Evaluating Creativity for Sustainable ...Christiaan Weiler
In this presentation I will try to put culture and creativity in a specific context, including theoretical references, but concentrating on a practical approach. With outcomes of an action-research project three connected hypothesis are proposed. To complement the otherwise rather limited quantitative data for this relatively new subject, a collaborative methodology is proposed, that will help contextualize the work and directly engage stakeholders in the process.
To stay close to the title of the conference, I will focus on the elements concerning culture and creativity. Giving a purpose to culture and creativity can allow us to concentrate on what it does rather than what it is. The presented research project (still in search of funding...) positions culture in a strategic role for collaborative processes, and proposes the creative stance, as an alternative to the critical stance, for innovative governance and planning development.

The place matters. We were born there, have been living and working there, entered there and exited from there. Places are an object of observation from the outside while we experience them from the inside. A place is the most ethnographic level of observation of relational territorialisation.
However, do we really know how territories behave? Can we really observe in practise the notion of the Network Territory? How does the dynamic concept of a territory fit and juxtapose with that of a network?
Some territories are putting all their efforts, thanks to the common work of public, private, and civil agents, into restructuring the post-crisis economic and social system. Nevertheless, can we observe and see what is occurring in these places and territories? How are we supposed to observe those big black boxes with input and output but with an unknown and hardly explainable process? How can we apply hermeneutics to the socially innovating processes in the networked territories at any scale? What tools should we use for this observation? What tools do we want and can we use to intervene? What effect do we ultimately want to have?
All these elements may demand a systemic vision in the cybernetic multi-disciplinary sense that Social Innovation requires and that links with the two main currents of Social Innovation in a coherent way: we are referring to, on the one hand, the more academic approach, with a social justice dimension, aligned towards the Territory and Social Economy and, on the other hand, the more practitioner and policy-making approach, championed by the third-way labour school of thought of the Young Foundation, Nesta and Demos.
This publication is thus to suggest taking a step back to achieve some impulse and present a Territory Systemic Framework from Social Innovation. We mixed elements from
Action Research as a suggestion for the investigation methodology, the way to observe the Territory from the viewpoint or paradigm of Social Innovation. That is to say that we de-constructe the Territory into three scales (#Macro, #Meso and #Micro) to be able to observe, understand, and implement social transformations. What we know now is that the future of Territories is currently determined by two variables: their network-notion and their value of commons. The Territories that are able to mingle with the collective intelligence that is strategically aligned with the understanding of the Territory-Network and Common Welfare will be in a better position to undertake some real processes of Social Innovation within themselves. Which policies, projects, and agents/people should be promoted within the Territories?
And what role do creative atmospheres or ecosystems play?
Let us then answer three questions:
What? Why? How? That is to say, Territory, Social Innovation, and Action Research.
A comprehensive exploration of an operating next-generation organization.
Core founding assumptions
Vision & Values
Culture is key .. wirearchy as opposed to hierarchy
Practical operational aspects
Systems thinking goes beyond the use of systems tools. In this presentation, delivered as a keynote at the 2019 Systems Innovation Conference in Barcelona, Philippe Vandenbroeck (shiftn.com) lays out a path to systems mastery that is grounded in a personal ethos and worldview as a basis for the capacity to apply tools, developing method and sustain the capacity for social learning in dealing with complex challenges.
NG2S: A Study of Pro-Environmental Tipping Point via ABMsKan Yuenyong
A study of tipping point: much less is known about the most efficient ways to reach such transitions or how self-reinforcing systemic transformations might be instigated through policy. We employ an agent-based model to study the emergence of social tipping points through various feedback loops that have been previously identified to constitute an ecological approach to human behavior. Our model suggests that even a linear introduction of pro-environmental affordances (action opportunities) to a social system can have non-linear positive effects on the emergence of collective pro-environmental behavior patterns.
The motivation to write this book for Mr.Peter Schwartz came from Royal Dutch/Shell group success in using scenarios to anticipate the oil crisis in the 1980’s . Shell was one of the few companies that managed this crisis. The following are the key points that may be of interest and assist the professionals in making better decisions in planning events in your life or the organization you work with:
• Too many people react to uncertainty with denial. They create blind spot for themselves.
• Scenarios are a tool for helping us to take a long view in a world of VUCA. Once you get used to the idea of scenarios, using them comes more easily.
• Scenario planning is about making choices today with an understanding of how they might turn out. This type of planning comes easy to some people. For others, it takes practice. Be patient, the end result of proper planning is worth the effort. Remember the 6 P’s of planning – Proper Planning Prevents Piddley Poor Performance.
• Scenarios can be used
To plan a business
To Judge an investment
To choose an education
To look for a job.
• Scenarios are not predictions. Rather , it is vehicles for helping the people learn & help the people to perceive futures in present.
• Scenarios deal with two worlds
The world of facts. Gather and transform information of strategic significance into fresh perspectives.
The world of perceptions. You are looking for the “aha” feeling.

Mission: Appalachian School of Technologies and Arts (ASTA)
The Appalachian School of Technologies and Arts (ASTA) bridges folk, proven, and emerging technologies and arts. ASTA engages folk arts and folk technologies not as unchangeable relics, but as living and changing expressions and practices that enrich our collective capabilities, especially community-based and community-serving innovation. ASTA serves as an incubator and educational center for folk, proven, and emerging technologies and arts as modes of expression for traditional and new technological and artistic identities. With Appalachia as its locus, ASTA teaches and engages with folk, proven, and emerging technologies and arts from around the world. With traditional, proven, emerging arts and technologies as its focus, ASTA teaches and engages with the best and most innovative global and emerging arts and technologies from around the world.
Proposed Features, based on the best practices in community education and innovation incubation for technology to solve local issues first:
The Appalachian School of Technologies and Arts builds on the Barefoot College model of community education. It is:
No tuition or sliding scale
All ages
Focused on current community residents, especially local underemployed or unemployed women or men
Non-academic (no state-certified or other accredited certificates, degrees, etc.)
Non term limit (you can attend for as long as you like)

Some Introductury Remarks:
Manufacturing for Sustained Success
Gary Pisano and Willy Shih (Producing Prosperity: Why
America Needs a Manufacturing Renaissance, Boston,
2012, 6thOct.) for some time already show the disastrous
consequences of years of bad outsourcing decisions and
underinvestment in manufacturing capability. They go on to
reveal how today’s undervalued manufacturing operations
often hold the seeds of tomorrow’s innovative new
products, arguing that companies must reinvest in the
collective operational capabilities that underpin new product
and process development in the industrial sector, not only
in the US. Topic “outsourcing”

development skills, and
engineering capabilities embedded
in firms, universities, and other
organizations that provide the
foundation for growth and

5. Some Introductury Remarks: The
Third Industrial Revolution
„…traditional, hierarchical organization of
economic and political power will give way to lateral
power organized nodally (o.e.) across society.“
(Rifkin, The Third Industrial Revolution, NY, 2011, p. 5)
„…today, however, the collaborative power
unleashed by the merging of Internet technology and
renewable energies is fundamentally restructuring
human relationships, from top to bottom to side to
side, with profound implications for the future of
society.“ (ibid.) // e.g. network economics .

Primary definition:
A Commons is „a ressource shared
by a group of people that is subject to
social dilemmas.“
[over-exploitation of common ressources]
(Hess & Ostrom, Understanding Knowledge as a
Commons, Cambridge, 2007, p. 3)
8. Commons as (Knowledge) Nodes in
a new Network Economy?
Overcoming the misuse and over-
exploitation of outsourcing (!) with
the help of "industrial commons" (as
special case of commons).
What can WE and especially
Management learn from
Ostrom, Rifkin & Pisano/Shih and
others and how can we
extend/develop/tranfer their
messages to and into practice ?

9. On „Living Commons“ in Business:
A Case Study from Upper Austria
In an Upper-Austrian SME we found that the
sustainable economic success of that enterprise has
been built upon re-thinking their local explanation of
success. They have learnt to think together and learn
from each other to prevent an excessive overuse of
resources, i.e., it helped them to constrain the local
maximization of profit [and its negative consequences
for business success in the long run].

13. To repeat: Rifkin emphasizes that

technology and renewable energies is
fundamentally restructuring human
relationships, from top to bottom to side
to side, with profound implications for
the future of society“. (2011 p 5) ==> see

20. Summing up
1) In Commons we are actively living sharing expertise as a
basis for ecologically sound and innovative problem
solutions.
2) Network Economy re-combines expertise inherent in
Commons.
3) With respect to sharing expertise/knowledge Commons
are not things or resources by themselves, they are (and
this is essential for network economy) resources
together with a social community (willing to share
expertise and take care for the common future) and
therefore also social values and especially rules and
norms, which are used to manage the resource in
question.
4) Commons can foster acceptance of explanatory
arguments to support and instantiate future actions.

23. On Applying LIR++ in Business and
especially creative and innovative
Regional Developments (A)
Systemic SWOT-analysis of an enterprise or a region with
particular regard to quality of decisions about measures in
handling common resources in dependence on availability of
expertise/knowledge, and understanding of consequences.
What people can become aware of in general is that
understanding the coming about of some (business or
regional) success by just producing the right or agreed upon
parameter values is not enough. Real success is not
explained by strictly obeying (or following) rules but primarily
by applying them reflectively, i.e., with “hindsight”, foresight
and an understanding of consequences especially in a
network economy, where this approach will lead to a
competitive advantage allowing for ecologically sound and
innovative problem solutions.
23
24. On Applying LIR++ (B)
Improving interdisciplinary discourse, understanding
knowledge and transfer of expertise: One can achieve not
only a better way of understanding each other but one can
also improve the culture of dialog and mutual ways to deal
with errors and reflect the limits of any “rule system”, i.e., any
method to generate results.
How the economic idea of Commons can lead to local
improvements of knowledge nodes in a Network Economy:
The point is that in/between small and therefore survey-able
units common aims and insights (by means of sharing
expertise) can lead to local mutual corrections of and within
knowledge nodes and thus can help to prevent an excessive
overuse/exploitation of resources as a consequence of
maximizing local profit unreflectively.

WE do not have to change any of our own attitudes or insights.
WE can use the pills without having to change our own minds or ourselves
NOR are we trying to learn anything really new
(about us or the world).
There is no endeavour, no ambition to put forward an
effort to understand what is going on behind the screen, the scenes
and to alter our preconceptions (however wrong they may be),
we simply turn around and do not take notice of anything
that does not fit into our worldview(s)).

Starting point of our investigations into the idea of Network Economics is first of all the empirical and theoretical research by Elinor Ostrom on Commons in general. But there is also an important point made by Jeremy Rifkin concerning „distributed business practices“ (2011, p. 5), which according to him will lead to a Third Industrial Revolution such that the „traditional, hierarchical organization of economic and political power will give way to lateral power organized nodally across society“, which is a strong point in favor of network economics.Rifkin furthermore emphasizes that „today, however, the collaborative power unleashed by the merging of Internet technology and renewable energies is fundamentally restructuring human relationships, from top to bottom to side to side, with profound implications for the future of society.“ (ibid.)
WORKING KNOWLEDGE : In order to understand the comingaboutof faulty measures in economy and the action-guiding misuse of the necessary simplifications inherent in maps, models and theories we suggest with the help of the scheme LIR to investigate the relation between language, information and reality and its influence upon (economic) decisions with respect to the measures in question. The following metaphor shall introduce and illustrate the matter.
Take care of the curvature of reality
Analytical framework LIR (Language – Information – Reality) as a theoretical backbone of understanding and operationalizing the idea of Commons

Systemic thinking in our context concerns the interplay, the dynamics and the two-way influence in between the knowledge components of H = {E, F, K, M}.It is necessary to change background knowledge (by way of additional experience or expertise) to be able to accept certain “inferences” (or even proposed solutions) of explanatory argumentations.
Es geht um den Bezug der (Land-) Karte zur Wirklichkeit…Cf. Richard Nisbet: Geography of ThoughtDie Geographie (auch Geografie, griechisch γεωγραφίαgeografia) oder Erdkunde ist die Wissenschaft, die sich mit der räumlichen Struktur und Entwicklung der Erdoberfläche befasst, sowohl in ihrer physischen Beschaffenheit wie auch als Raum und Ort des menschlichen Lebens und Handelns.[1][2] Sie beschreibt und erklärt darüber hinaus, wie sich der Geographische Raum und die Vorgänge an der Erdoberfläche auf den Menschen auswirken. Sie entwickelt Konzepte zum Verständnis und zur Lösung von Problemen zwischen Mensch und Umwelt. Sie bewegt sich dabei oft an der Nahtstelle zwischen den Naturwissenschaften und den Sozialwissenschaften.Gegenstand der Geographie ist die gesamtheitliche Erfassung, Beschreibung und Erklärung der Strukturen, Prozesse und Wechselwirkungen in der Geosphäre. Die isolierte mathematisch-physikalische beziehungsweise biologische Erforschung ihrer Einzelerscheinungen ist jedoch Gegenstand anderer Geowissenschaften
