I'm a designer, connector, and guide who creates new experiences with communities and regions to engage in Open Source Economic Development. I configure digital infrastructure and social process to advance transformative enterprise in open economic networks.
To do this, I coach, mentor and train communities how to develop I-Open Civic Forum process - a systems approach of connecting, communicating, convening, and collaborating - to generate industry innovation and enterprise.
My Blog ( http://betseymerkel.po... ) publishes models, examples, instructions and maps to help civic leaders, organizations and businesses strengthen local assets.
Since 2003, my strategic activities have focused on research, networks, enterprise, and education.
