Thinking about boxes

Introduction

The concept of the "Organization-in-a-Box" (and later the "Marketplace-in-a-Box and Village-in-a-Box) came from several places:

• the tangible aspect of a "box", something you can hold in your hands

the ability to open a large possiblity space that collapses into an org the delivery aspect of "shipping and handing out boxes to clients" the co-creation aspect of compiling the contents of the box together the social design process of improving the Open Source contents the blurred line between the digital and the physical (deck of cards) the Adobe Kickbox concept for innovation teams (see attachments)
