How would you implement the Complete Community Connection?

This post is aimed at the News Innovators including those I just met at BarCamp NewsInnovation Philadelphia. Yesterday, my colleague Steve Buttry published a blueprint for change in a concept called the Complete Community Connection.

I will embed the PDF below, but if 30 some pages are too much Mark Potts offers a good, condensed analysis called Inventing the Future in Iowa.

So let’s assume this blueprint is the way to go. How would you implement it? What would you build? What are the ideas do you have for applications, widgets and whatnot? What should the priorities be? Where would you start? I’m looking for specific ideas that you think can be implemented anywhere.

What would an organization with this mentality look like? If this is a startup, what would it be in the first three months? Six months?

I’ve just now read it and am beginning to digest it. (Even though we work at the same company, Gazette Communications, Buttry rolled it out to me like he did to everyone else via his blog. I’m not bitter, but it would have been great material to talk about at #bcniphilly.)

I will be working through it as I travel back to Eastern Iowa in the next day or so and I will post my own answers to the questions above by the end of Thursday (If I’m asking you to do it, I have to follow through as well).

So have at it. Ryan Sholin asked me at the end of the day on Saturday what’s next for the BarCamp NewsInnovation crew. Could playing a role in forming some specific examples on how to implement this plan be a first step? I’m not sure, but it can’t hurt.
