from our reporting at http://grameenhub.com

notes on valuing the social and business models of hubs - the most and least collaborative system designs I have seen in 43 years of reporting the Entrepreneurial Revolution of the coming of net generation's whole planet

the most collaborative (and value multiplying ) hubs I have come across empower the world's poorest mothers to network - http://women4empowerment.org

how? - before the mobile phone age grameen built tens of thousands of centres where 60 mothers not only worked out each othyers financial service needs but worked out communal swaps that didn't need monetary transcations and shared life critical knowhow starting with oral rehydration - one out of 5 infants die in poor humid countries of dissentry unless their mothers know how to mix bolied water,salt and sugar in thye right proportions to rehydrate ; the founder of women4empowerment helped dr yunus train village women on the most valuable ways to hub around the mobile phone- now vialeg mothers could find out where market prices were best and get in touch with medical and other advice not prevuously accessible in the vilage; meanwhile dr yunus invoted the world's most resourced organsiations to come and partner with village labs which tested some of the most life critical solutions ever innovated

hubs work when they are grounded in greatest need and spiral colaboration and smart networking

hubs dont work when someone sets ub a club in a capital city; ask for membership fees to join the hub' such systems actyally block the dyamics of a collaboration capital - especially the sorts of youth processed needed to twin billion jobs creating capitals http://youthcreativelab.blogspot.com
