Direct definition

Open Future Forum and Murray Newlands own, fund, publish and edit this project.

Ownership and funding

Open Future Forum and Murray Newlands own, fund, publish and edit the Executive Community Playbook. There is no claim of institutional independence from the publisher.

Operating experience

Publisher operating experience informs procedures, examples and judgments about member selection, formats, sponsors, global relationships and research. These lessons are not presented as universal evidence.

Operating note

Adapt this guidance to member context. Seek professional legal and privacy advice where regulatory obligations apply.

Open Future Forum as an example

The project uses Open Future Forum as a working case because the publisher can describe its own model. The case study is labeled publisher-authored and includes limitations. References to Forum Select, Forum Events, peer groups, executive boards and research describe the supplied operating model.

Commercial relationships

Sponsorship, community promotion and related projects may be discussed when relevant. Material relationships should be visible near claims that readers could evaluate differently because of that connection.

Editorial control and corrections

The publisher decides what is included, selects sources and accepts or rejects contributions. Readers may propose corrections. Material updates are preserved through repository history and the changelog.

No hidden standard-setting claim

The playbook is a publisher-developed reference. It is not independent academic research, an official industry standard or a guarantee of results.

Publisher perspective

This guide reflects the operating experience and editorial judgment of Open Future Forum and Murray Newlands. It is practical guidance, not an official industry standard or legal advice.
