The Mesh by Lisa Gansky - Why the Future of Business is SharingLisa is, at heart, a marketect and "impact junky" with a strong interest in breaking the edges of formerly happy business models and bringing together not-so-likely characters in the form of new offerings, teams and partnerships. As CEO, co-founder and chairman of Ofoto, Lisa drew on her entrepreneurial spirit and experience developing global web services.
Mesh - the living network of sharingMesh businesses leverage data and social networks to enable people to share goods and services efficiently and conveniently-to gain superior access to what they need without the burdens or expense of ownership.There are already thousands of these businesses-in transportation, fashion, food, real estate, travel, finance, entertainment and many other categories-with more starting every day.The Mesh has emerged as the best new creative engine for getting more of what we want, exactly when we wa...- #netfunders just heard of a new resoruces for #jobs #nonprofit t.co/crihINgF - a service of Lumity | @scoopit t.co/lNUVfHRs
- #netfunders @sewsueme we'll all leave here inspired but whether we do something is another issue. Tomorrow's challenge!
- How do you borrow and combine hunches from other people w/ our own hunches? #netfunders
- The Mesh is about aspiring to access rather than ownership t.co/kRCGiHiE #netfunders
- Gansky: access to goods, talents & services when you need them vs. owning all of these -- ownership a lot less sexy #netfunders
- #netfunders mesh = fundamental change in our relationships with people information, access (Lisa Gansky, GEO NW convening)
- Car or bike share service is an example of a mesh based business. Hmmmm could we create a philanthropic mesh business? #netfunders
- "Sharing failures is a great way to reduce waste."--Gansky #netfunders. [that is begging to be on a bumper sticker]
- I am skeptimistic about that. RT @kwing: Aaannd we'll all be using "skeptimist" thanks to Lisa Gansky #netfunders

- Creation of trust depends on slowly expanding list. Trust rarely starts with big items. Ironically the heart of mesh trust. #Netfunders
- RT @fazzari47: Trust is the currency of networks. Trust is no longer held by the brand but held by the community of peers #netfunders
- #netfunders We're used to trusting ppl we know or having a 3rd party authenticate... important piece of mesh businesses
- #netfunders taking things to scale is the scary bit for businesses (says Gansky) and for social movement leaders too
- #netfunders leaders need focus and allow for serendipity to make unexpected happen - Gansky
- Lisa Gansky: Control is...oh that old thing. Forget control. Embrace serendipity! Yes! #netfunders
