Sustainable Enterprise Network Opens

January 7, 2009 is a significant day for The Sustainable Enterprise Network.  From modest beginnings as a sharing space for The Sustainable Enterprise Fieldbook authors to explore ways to expand understanding of the case for sustainable practices, tonight, inspired by the ISE-Hudson Gain January 8 event on sustainability leadership in tough times, we celebrate opening the doors wider, to conference participants.

Using Forums. Please Categorize

This space is evolutionary but at the current rate very shortly there will be an abundance of interesting content to explore.

To facilitate finding relevant posts if you start a forum please take a moment to categorize it.  And if we don't have categories that work, please alert the administrators through the Forum Housekeeping Discussion. 

Thank you for your constructive contributions.

Blog Post Word Limit

I can't tell you what the blog post word limit is as Ning did not alert me that my last post would not display fully.

Recommend keeping posts under 200 words until we dig deeper into the maximum word length mystery.

Writer Guidelines

Based on a conversation with Victoria and George, here are some guidelines for getting started writing blog posts.

1.  Timely Focus

The goal here is driving  conversation about timely issues and workable models for creating sustainable enterprises.

Please tie your posts to news stories and timely topics,  and use The Sustainable Enterprise Book (TSEFB) themes to inform thinking around the subject.

 2. Purposeful Posts

As you

Just found this wiki devoted to:

"We provide the living resource library of individuals and organizations working towards a sustainable, healthier future, so that efforts can be spent evolving instead of duplicating past efforts."

I'm wondering if anyone knows of them?
