SOHO Technology 3.0

If you had gone through the draft documents I had mentioned in my last posting, you might be wondering, what is the relationship amongst SOHO Technology 3.0 and “Office-In-Every-Home” and “Home-In-Every-Office” (the SOHO Technology without the 3.0 postfix)? Very obviously, SOHO Technology is a subset of SOHO Technology 3.0 or, in IT language, beta version. Actually, there is more to meet the eyes.

“Office-In-Every-Home” is developing work-from-home culture or family office for entrepreneurship, using Small-Office-Home-Office. This is Component One (1) of the SOHO Technology.

“Home-In-Every-Office” is developing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) culture, advocating corporate family concept / common stakeholder-ship amongst employees, customers, suppliers and other externalities. This is Component Two (2) of the SOHO Technology.

"Third Place" is added to complete the picture. There is a further Component Three (3) in SOHO Technology called the “Third Place”, usually a social location or site other than the Home (First Place) and the Work-place (Second Place). The “Third Place” could also be your social clubs / church or you can deem the Internet / World-World-Web as the largest “Third Place” in the world. For start-ups, a shared office or co-working arrangement or business incubator is the Third Place.

Therefore, we have the following relationship established:

SOHO Technology = Using (1) to realize (2) assisted by (3) = Latest “3-in1” Work-from-Home Package = Business Model start-up for Social-Environmental-Entrepreneurship = Global-Business-Plan (GBP).

On the other hand, SOHO Technology 3.0 is the Grass-Root-Philosophy (GRP) dwelling in Soil or Toil and Wealth (SOHO1), Sun or Green Economy (SOHO2), and Soul or Health and Happiness (SOHO3), thus holistically integrates Social-Environmental-Entrepreneurship (SEE), advocating personal development / actualization while practicing the Triple-Bottom-Line of Profit / People / Planet or Economy / Equity / Ecology.

Therefore, we have the following relationship established:

SOHO Technology 3.0 = SOHO-1 + SOHO-2 + SOHO-3 = Soil (Toil and Wealth), Sun (Green Economy), Soul (Health and Happiness) = Personal Tool for Self Development and Social-Environmental-Entrepreneurship (SEE) using SOHO Technology (“3-in-1” Package) = Triple-Bottom-Line = Philosopher-Businessperson = Grass-Root-Philosophy (GRP).

So, you can also say SOHO Technology 3.0 is about Sun, Sea, Sand and Sauna .... Health, Wealth and Happiness (HWH).... via Soil, Sun and Soul, with ICT playing an important and crucial role.

Welcome on board ..... to Generation-E (Environment, Energy, Equity, Enterprise and E-commerce)!

Grass-Root-Philosophy & Global-Business-Plan

Wanting to meet or becoming Philosopher-Businessperson? Here is your wonderful opportunity....

SOHO-TECHNOLOGY-3 consists of two principal parts:
• Grass-Root-Philosophy (GRP) in which I will dwell into Soil, Sun and Soul (serious issues) vs. Sun, Sea, Sand and Sauna (fun issues).
• Global-Business-Plan (GBP) in which I will promote a business model that advocates the Triple-Bottom-Line (Profit-Planet-People).

I think it will be interesting to see how each and everyone of us can be a philosopher and businessman at the same time.This will also be the site to meet similarly-inclined business-persons, both locally and globally.

The GRP is a very grass-root approach in philosophical search, commencing with a business start-up from Small-Office-Home-Office (SOHO-1), while having some spare time engaged in Astronomy studying the Solar Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO-2) which further extends our investigation into the Self-Organizing Holarchi Open (SOHO-3) system that helps to answer the questions, such as “Why there is life?”, “What is the purpose of life?” etc. etc. Sound very much like searching for Soil, Sun and Soul.

The GBP, on the other hand, involves having an “Office-In-Every-Home” for each and every one of us as a launch-pad for a business venture that will eventually turn us into full-fledged Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs (SEE) promoting "Home-In-Every-Office" concept in businesses, while receiving necessary back-up from centralized locations. Hopefully this will lead many of us to financial independence. Sound very much like having a lifestyle of Sun, Sea, Sand and Sauna.

For the impatient lots, you might want to have a preliminary glimpse of the GRP and the GBP by downloading the draft documents here (ppt)or here (pdf) and here (ppt) or here (pdf) respectively. These are draft documents only, more details will appear on this site. So, please stay tuned or subscribe to the RSS of this site.
