Development 2.0

I’ve just been sent this link on a development 2.0 manifesto, let’s see how many of these we achieve in Nodes of Growth.

1. Think business models, not only cool applications.
2. Free your data.
3. Fight the not invented here syndrome.
4. Think “real simple” business processes, from fundraising to reporting.
5. Lower cost of failure.
6. Fewer “lessons learned” documents, more open conversations about failures.
7. Embrace transparency.
8. What you don’t have resources to do, others might jump at.
9. Value (and plan for) conversations with your constituencies, at all levels.
10. Plan for serendipity.
11. Think about the full circle.
12. Cast a wide net.
13. Go beyond polished documents. Think visual

I’ll expand on these when I get this blog editing sorted out.
