ChrisCook: But my experience is that true 'co-ownership' will appeal to your staff as much as it does to (say) the John Lewis Partnership staff in the UK.

i have always taken a great interest in your ideas and would love to see them realized on a large scale (as far as i can understand them). but i am wondering if you have already implemented (or helped others to implement) them in actual enterprises.  if so, could you describe some of them (or point to where you already have done so)?

If you can't pay the bills, it's not sustainable.

I've successfully developed a film using the model.

There was a >£1bn embryonic capital partnership years ago involving 10 UK hotels.

A chateau in France is encapsulated within a 'Capital Partnership', but this is a very simple early variant.

There are several works in progress. We have a commitment from a major municipality to put 1.5 acres of waterfront land into a 'Land Partnership' but assembling the rest of it is slow going, since we lack the necessary 'walkabout money'.

One very exciting project - a distressed school currently in provisional liquidation - has bubbled up in the last week. It's got a short fuse, and if it happens it will happen fast.
