Rational Workshops are businesss designed so they cannot fail. The second key to a successful business is effective administration. Based on the Six Pillars of Profitability and incorporating the Intractable Law of Supply and Demand into their administrative structure Workshops eliminate povery, unemployment and pollution.
Effective administration consists of motivating those who work with you and under you. A Privatized Monetary System forms the ultimate motivational tool because it universalizes the market and puts the power of Supply and Demand at work within the business and this eliminates the inefficiency which is so much a part of conventional business activity. What is done or taken within the business is paid for and priced according to market forces.
Workshops are formed by means of a Rational Meet.
When people are invited to a Rational Meet they may not originally have an intention to start a business but a Rational Meet looks at the ideas posted on the bulliten board as the seeds of a new business. In short everything humans can accomplish is best accomplished as a business.
Reducing energy use in a community or providing for more local foods to be sold in stores can be best approached as businesses. A lot can be accomplised by individuals working on their own turning down thermostats and driving less but substantial and permanant change has to be made by businesses that successfully provide goods and services to the community.
In a Transition Initiative the community seeks to power down from the high energy process of Industrial Era businesses to the knowledge intensive businesses of the Creative Economy. Reducing car use is a key component of any Transition Initiative. There is a lot that can be done individually but ultimately eliminating or minimizing automobile use requires a collective and commercial approach.
A business approach allows us to determine usage and rates of efficiency. Car pooling and even more advanced solutions such as a community owned gas station are best accomplised using a business approach.
Encouraging the use of locally produced food is also accomplised best through a business approach. Residents can specialize in growing certain crops and share the proceeds through a crop exchange program mediated by a local currency. By paying people for what they do and charging them for wht they get people are encouraged to do as much as they can and are not dissuaded from taking as much as they need.
A Workshop pays for everything it gets and charges for everything it provides. It uses a local currency. The type of currency used is optional and can be modified to suit the needs of the business or the inclinations of its users.
People can and should be paid for attending meetings and contributing to discussions. At the same time people who speak over an allotted time or who otherwise misuse the facilities and opportunities of the workshop can likewise be levied a premium.
Everything the workshop gets in its start up phrase needs to be paid for and everything that members do to get the business going needs to be paid for. In this way all of the costs of a business are accounted for.
