Overview of The
Global Interchange
Core values of the GIC embrace
compassion and service. It exists to bring together people
who are engaged in making a positive difference in the
world. The GIC makes available new structures, processes,
resources, research, and facilitation to be used in cooperative
exchange for new projects that benefit all humanity.
Through
analysis of the IOOW-2000 research, unique typologies
provided startling new insight into our society by identifying
segments of the adult population who have different attitudes
and behaviors, as well as distinctive decision-making
patterns. The insights gained through our extensive experience
and formal research will be used to develop special applications
for the GIC.
We are exploring and forming strategic
alliances with private and organizational funding centers,
leading to the eventual engagement of the broadest possible
public involvement.
The current model for a rationally
phased implementation is projected to lead to social
enterprise with revenue in the range of one billion dollars.
An encompassing business plan and scaled financial models
have been prepared, as has been much legal groundwork
to facilitate the funding process.
If some of the description
of the GIC sounds very business-like, it is simply that
the GIC will be using very large sums of money to develop
itself fairly quickly and that technology business has
evolved certain efficient modalities that can be used
advantageously in the start-up of something as innovative
as the GIC. Furthermore, investment and donor funds must
be used in an appropriate and cost-efficient manner.
As the GIC evolves, the people involved will develop
new ways of conducting themselves within their collective
affairs, just like any evolving community. |
