Mon Feb 11 13:59:24 UTC 2008

Dear All

My name is Peter Froberg from Århus Denmark.The following  project is  
going to be my exam project from the kaospilot, a creative bsiness  
school in Denmark. I am looking for collaboration partners, after  
suggestion from Jonathan Gray I posting a short description of my  
project. I hope that we can figure out some sort of collaboration  
about the shared objectives.

How can small businesses use open knowledge to leverage their business ?
I am starting a project which is to help small businesses explore the  
possibilities within open knowledge and mass collaboration.

I believe that this is an area where you can do something good while  
using business sense and making more money. I have experienced  
talking to small businesses how think the ideas sound interesting,  
but they don’t know how to learn more or carry it out in practise.

The objective is create a tool kit that can help smaller companies  
figure out what this is all about, an how they should carry it out.

What I intend to do is to research what sort of businesses are  
already during this, make a concise brief on why businesses should  
use this new paradigm and develop tools that will help them try out  
the change.

I am going to be working on this project full time until at least  
April 15th. where I will start to write my examination report. I am  
also planing to carry  out a pilot with interested businesses either  
before or after writing my report.

To follow the progress in this project, you can see my project blog

Peter Froberg
