I'm both a practitioner and a theorist of Organized Dialogue - a practicing political scientist. Trained as a mediator, facilitator, and political theorist, my projects include Germany's largest political mediation process, the Regional Dialogue Forum Airport Frankfurt (2005-2008), and my dissertation on "Procedural Politics: The Example Of Organized Dialogue" (due in 2009). I think the design of organized dialogue procedures is an essential competence for effectivce social innovation, social investment, and societal change.

I like your case for a ccomprehensive ollaboration model, so much so that I joined and became a member here. What I understand as the bottom line is that you say "we should lower the cost of collaboration because collaboration is a basic need and form of public interaction in the 21st century" - and lowering the cost is a business model. I'm looking forward to hearing more about it. I've linked to your post and commented on it over in my own blog. Please do check it out.
