* Translating community-specific vocabularies for general audiences seeking to understand the benefits of an open approach to management and leadership in multiple contexts
* **Learning.** We're researching the ways open source values so we can better understand how they are influencing today's innovative organizational cultures, and we're always refining the "open organization" concept, differentiating or distinguishing it from seemingly similar approaches to management and leadership.

* Engaging in conversations that continually refine and extend the "open organization" concept, and differentiating or distinguishing this concept from seemingly similar approaches to management and leadership
* **Helping.** We're a trusted resource for anyone interested in leveraging the power of open principles to improve their organizations.
