Functional operating system
The progress economy operates through four functional layers: strategic, operational, decision, and foundation. Progress, defined as a move to a more desirable state over time, involves seekers and helpers. Seekers attempt progress using their resources, while helpers provide propositions to assist. Innovation improves progress by reducing hurdles and co-creating value.
Context hierarchy
The progress economy is a hierarchical model of value creation reimagined through making progress. It comprises four key contexts: progress, progress attempts, progress propositions, and service exchange. By understanding progress as the core, resources as fundamental, propositions as solutions, and (mostly) indirect service exchange – helping others progress – as the model fairness, we unlock a dynamic framework for innovation and growth.
