Table 8: Example of Planning for Organizational Models

How then might one think about what kinds of organizational models and forms would make sense in different contexts? By way of example, one might set up a table showing the models and then match the models with the kind of community characteristics discussed in Chapter 3. A simple version of that might look like Table 8.

This is just a tool for helping structure the thinking process. The example is discussed at length in Chapter 9.
