Where Partnerships Begin
... is with an opportunity, problem, crisis or possibility, that you and your own stakeholder group can't solve by yourselves. Then you need to 'connect' with other stakeholders having separate interests, and it usually means discovering how each have things that are useless to themselves of great value to others, finding the natural SD of Partnerships in the 'synergy of opposites' with which nature builds durable complex systems.
How a Wiki Organizes Learning
… is similar to how natural systems develop, by people taking small exploratory steps that turn into a process that accelerates, and then finds it own level of comfort. Adding some methodology lets a group of stakeholders share in discovering the nature of their place and its role in a changing world and find uncommon opportunities for it while recording their learning for each other and all to see.

Working with natural systems takes nurturing and patience, like when you give a party there always seems to be a nervous period of waiting for it to start. Real learning, and natural systems, need to have that slow take-off period. It's the beginning of growth, and tends to look like nothing is happening. Nurture it. It's not a cram course it's an accumulating discovery process. A Wiki is a way to share that.
One way to know if you're heading in the right direction is if you're learning, and teaching the world, how to make things simple, wonderful and inexpensive. Why is that sustainability? Because new science shows that at the same time it equals Value, $=Impacts too, as a direct measure! So we should use it well…
