We will work on systemic levers and levels and practical discrete concrete actions as well.

Empowering networks are key for the diffusion and distribution of resources and know-how. High impact solutions should get their way to implementation fast. But they don't.

Too many solutions challenge finalists fall short to implement their ideas because the actual distribution, implementation and scaling mechanisms are not imbedded in the process, and because the 'channels of distribution' of the distributed economy are not yet in place. Last time I heard of Open Ideo, they were struggling to see their winning projects implemented because implementation is not in their model, though they were looking at ways to increase their impact and accompany realization. The Buckminster Fuller Institute is faced with similar challenges with its prize-winners and studying solutions.

The unwillingness to take risks on untested 'technical' solutions and the absence of a 'distribution network' is actually what impedes bottom-up open source solutions to find big philanthropy funding, and what pushes big philanthropies to use the centralized distribution channels of big corporations to do the work, narrowing the possibilities for other innovative solutions.

The Pull Platform would provide the potential for local communities and networks such as CM and iDE to access and contribute to a wider pool of peer to peer resources and know-how to implement high impact solutions and undertake high leverage initiatives, and therefore increase their autonomy, resilience and well being.
