Great idea about the framework. Like Scrum for agile, commons could become the standard framework for sustainable businesses and communities. Blockchain technology could enable a new ecosystem for value creation.
Hi Harald — thank you, and yes, I love your Scrum analogy.
Commons could indeed become a new foundational framework — not just for sustainable business and community models, but for organizing value creation around shared purpose and shared resources.
I’m currently writing a longer piece called -On Commons-, but simply put:
Commons appear wherever people collectively care for something they co-steward — a forest, a platform, a mission, or even a body of knowledge.
Businesses are no exception — especially if we start seeing them as Purpose-Driven Organizations that exist to create value across stakeholder groups, not just for shareholders.
At cloudsters, we’re actively using AI and agent-based models — and while productivity is exploding, it’s becoming increasingly hard to imagine that these gains will be offset by consumption alone.
So we must ask:
Who benefits from the shift when human labor loses its economic weight, yet value is still being created?
My view: We urgently need more Commons-based models — where AI, productivity, and shared infrastructure serve a broader field of contributors.
The Commons isn’t just an economic model — it’s a cultural framework.

And I’m grateful you see the potential.
