  • Resistance – a progress hurdle

    What we’re thinking Not all propositions are going to be welcomed by all seekers. Kleijnen et al identify a hierarchy of resistance – postponement, rejection and opposition, to which we insert none – that we’ll use as the resistance progress hurdle. They also identify factors that contribute to each levels, giving a framework to reduce […]

  • Adoptability – a progress hurdle

    What we’re thinking We’re leveraging some of Rogers’ innovation adoption theory as a progress hurdle. Specifically his adopter types and his five perceived attributes affecting adoptability of innovations – complexity, relative advantage, compatibility, trialabilty and observability. A seeker has to feel they can adopt a proposition to begin engaging it to attempt progress. This goes […]

  • Lack of resource – a progress hurdle

    What we’re thinking Often progress seekers lack the resources needed to make progress: skills, knowledge, tools, maybe strength, time, etc. This is the fundamental progress hurdle in the progress economy – the lack of resources progress hurdle. Seekers may be innovative and create new resources, or reuse existing resources in novel ways. Or they may […]

  • Value destruction

    What we’re thinking If we create value when making progress can we also destroy it? And since progress is a joint endeavour when engaging a progress proposition, leading to value co-creation, can value be co-destroyed? Yes, value can be destroyed. As it emerges from progress, if progress is hindered then it may be destroyed. However, […]

  • Progress Attempts

    What we’re thinking Progress attempts are how seekers reach their individual progress sought. They’re a tale of progress-making activities, resources, resource integrations, judgements of progress, progress hurdles; success and failure. Expanding on the concepts of progress, and, that value emerges from that. Let’s explore here how a seeker attempts to progress (which forms the foundation […]

  • Exploring Progress Proposition

    What we’re thinking Progress propositions are bundles of supplementary resources – a proposed series of progress-making activities and a progress resource mix – offered by progress helpers to help seekers reach their progress sought. Ultimately aiming to maximise a seeker’s recognition of value. Fundamentally, a proposition addresses a progress seeker’s lack of resource progress hurdle. […]

  • Progress Proposition Continuum

    What we’re thinking Every progress proposition sits somewhere on a continuum between enabling progress seekers to attempt progress themselves and relieving them by attempting to make progress for them. Where a proposition sits is determined by who performs the majority of proposed progress-making activities. It’s the modern version of the goods-service continuum, fit for the […]

  • Progress Resource Mix

    Enterprises/ecosystems offer a mix of resources for a seeker to integrate with when attempting to make progress. This service mix comprises a specific combination of: goods, physical resources, systems, and people. Altering the blend of the service mix is a source of innovation.
