Collaboration,
Open Solutions, and Innovation (COSI) are the key
management strategies individuals and organizations need to embrace
and incorporate in their daily lives and business practices in order
to compete and succeed in the 21st century. The growing acceptance,
adoption and application of these new management strategies is
already evident in almost every sector of the economy.
Industries and businesses throughout the world are being revolutionized through the application of these three unique and powerful management strategies. When combined, these COSI strategies create a robust model for accelerating change, achieving significant operational efficiencies, and improving the quality of products and services being provided by public and private sector organizations in the U.S. and other countries.

Collaborative
development efforts to create innovative, free and open source
software (FOSS) tools, applications, and other solutions for use by
individuals and corporations involved in agriculture are also well
underway. These innovative 'Open Agriculture' solutions are
being released under one or more 'open' licensing or copyright
arrangements that allow both public and private institutions to
acquire and use these tools at little or no cost. This has tremendous
potential consequences for individuals and organizations around the
world that face funding challenges.
