Welcome to the The Support Economy website!
Since the publication of our book, we have learned a lot about the emerging support economy and how companies move into the support space. We have spoken to many groups around the world, and we have exciting projects with select pioneers in this new space. These private and public sector pathfinders are developing new distributed enterprise models in which the individual is supported at the center of a federated network of product and service providers. Much of our work has been in the areas of healthcare, active adult living, community transformation, housing, and education.
Shoshana is now immersed in writing up what we have learned. It reflects on client work and looks at new methodologies, the distributed business model, the reconfiguration of assets and how to carry out an "institutional by-pass." Jim has been working with client to establish new enterprises built on The Support Economy principles.
You can read about some of our work and thoughts in The McKinsey Quarterly - September 2010. "Creating Value in the Age of Distributed Capitalism"
You can also read Shoshana's work at BusinessWeek.com where she has become a featured columnist.
Please feel free to contact us for more information or to share your knowledge about support economy pioneers. We look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,
Shoshana and Jim
Praise for The Support Economy
“The Support Economy is a dazzling blend of business vision, history, social psychology, and economics, The Support Economy starts with a compelling premise: People have changed more than the corporations upon which their well-being depends. In the frustration and rage that now separate individuals from organizations lie the keys to a wholly new economic order. "
