About

OrgLite is a site to help David Wilcox and Dave Briggs design a submission, paper and presentation for the Online Information conference in December 2008.

The subject of the presentation is “Organisation Lite” and basically aims to cover the prerequisites for an organisation or community to make the most of social tools, whether online or offline, having lightweight, dynamic and flexible structures.

This is something we have blogged about before:

Some of the issues under consideration include:

  • ‘Worldview 2.0′ - the need for openess and transparency
  • The new roles required for operating within the networked society
  • Organising without organisations
  • Blending offline and online techniques
  • Open design processes

We’d like to put our ideas into action, though, and so we have decided to open up the process of forming our submission to Online Information, writing the background paper and designing our presentation to anyone who might be able to help us.

This is a blog which anyone can leave comments on . It will work in a similar way to other co-design projects like the Open Innovation Exchange, Ruralnet|Online and the Membership Project. We gather in people’s views, experiences and knowledge through the blog, which David and I will then use to produce the final products of the project. Everyone will get their contributions acknowledged, and all products, like the content on this site, will be available under a creative commons licence, thus allowing others to make use of the work done here.

The three main products for this project to deliver will be:

  • The initial submission to Online Innovation (deadline 9th May 2008)
  • Delivery of a background paper (15 September 2008)
  • Presentation at the conference (Slides to organisers sometime in November, conference is between 2nd and 4th December 2008)

There isn’t much time till the submission to be finished, so we need to get cracking!
