I am developing a wiki of best practices and ideas to assist organizations of all types in navigating their startup and growth.

Here is an outline of the idea:

 The Wiki of Best Practices and Ideas 

Human progress is directly linked to the spread of ideas. Human progress can be accelerated by improved access of all individuals and organizations to the best ideas and practices.

The world increasingly functions through organizations of all types. The world functions through for profit, not-for profit, governmental and quasi-governmental organizations of many types and sizes. Many organizations fail, under perform, struggle to grow or underperform their potential. The vast majority of organizations are small, not sophisticated and lack resources comparable to larger organizations to operate effectively and efficiently to achieve their missions. This matters greatly. A large segment of the world is employed in small organizations and responsible for a large segment of global GDP. Human progress is dependent on these small organizations succeeding and functioning optimally.

Around the world new ideas and best practices are constantly being created that would allow individuals and organizations to accomplish more with less resources and improve the lives of people. Access to and dissemination of the best ideas and practices on a continuous flow basis will accelerate human progress for all 7 billion inhabitants of our planet.

The best ideas and practices should be available to every individual and organization – freely, easily and comprehensively – in one central repository. The wiki of best ideas and practices would help meet these needs and function similar to Wikipedia – a trustworthy source where you can easily and quickly get information at the summary or detail level as needed.

Design criteria for a Wiki of best ideas and practices include: This system needs to be self-sustainable over the long-term and able to grow and adapt to the needs of people and organizations around the world.
 * -       easily searchable database (rapid answers to match problems and challenges)
 * -       easily understandable ideas and practices in common every day language allows the ideas to be absorbed, adapted and used by a wide range of people (it should be non technical and non-jargon)
 * -       links to greater depth of resources so that people may pursue more detail documented with sources
 * -       living ideas and practices that are upgraded over time as new ideas and practices bubble to the top
 * -       maintained organically by leading experts in each field
 * -       accessible in different languages
