As noted in the interview, key ingredients are the local talented entrepreneurs and good training. More generally, the model is built on meeting a known demand rather than on being top-down supply-oriented. This suggests the model could be refined and spread to cover all demands of end-users by starting with the selection and training of local talented entrepreneurs to become what I call Direct Support Advocates in the emerging bottom-up distributed economy. These advocates could be the local link to help end-users formulate, express and communicate demand across the whole range of goods and services. Moving in this direction seems to be necessary to overcome the difficulty non-local suppliers have in understanding and meeting bottom of the pyramid demand.
