A new concept of trust platform
General Objective
COASTSHARING is a trust platform designed and managed by BPSEurope. The objective of this platform is to offer to COAST partners in ASD sectors an exchange platform permitting them to develop trusts relationships. And, through these ones, to develop business & innovation opportunities at transborder and European level.
Networking individuals...
The main characteristic of the globalisation and the emergence of a worldwide information and communication technologies platform is the dramatic explosion of people-to-people communication and cooperative work possibilities, as never in the past : « We were not just communicating with each other more thane ver, we were now able to collaborate-to build coalitions, projects and products together- more than ever” (J.Cawley, IBM strategist). Thomas Friedman (“The world is flat”) sorts out these new cooperation’s modes into six categories: Open sourcing, Offshoring, 0utsourcing, Supply chaining, Insourcing, In-forming.
The impacts of these opportunities for cooperating around the world are deep transformations of social behaviours, political organisation and organisational models. More than companies or any other organisation, the winner of this worldwide race to more cooperation around the earth is the individual. Indeed, the upmost astonishing evolution is the empowerment of individuals. The worldwide network gives new power to individual across the borders of their countries, of their organisation, of their companies, of their political institution. All these ones are overtuned by the considerable reinforcement of the individual power.
CoastSharing basic approach: the facilitator's community
The CoastSharing platform is based on the networking on individuals considered as facilitators for initiating new cooperation between clusters organisation. The facilitator’s community is typically a new model generated by the globalisation process. The coastsharing webblog solution has to be designed in this totally new context.
At the odds of other traditional process which aims to tackle the cooperative clustering process through the synergies between organisation (this traditional approach would suggest that transborder clustering process can be managed by the creation of a new institution above the individual clusters o new organisational procedures between the cluster – organisational or institutional building), the coastsharing blog objectives is to develop relationships and exchanges between individuals recognised as change agents in each of their organisation, that’s the reason why they are called “facilitators”. These exchanges must permit them to impulse dynamic evolution in their organisations and coordination practices between the clusters which could define common strategy and coordinate their ressources.
