The Isis Group Network's structure is evolving as a Nodal Network of eight Business Units and one Business Unit for the overall Isis Group Network. Each unit is an essential component for implementing the Isis Group's Purpose. The Isis Group Network is organized as a Limited Liability Company, an LLC, with eight internal units. Eventually each Nodal Business Unit will become an LLC in the Isis Group Network.

Below in this Post each of the Isis Group Network Business Units is briefly described.
A previous post entitled Why a Network of Blogs explained why a Living System business organization, like the Isis Group Network, naturally chooses a network of Blogs as the primary base for its Internet presence.
Recall the principle that a Living System must be embedded within, and continuously interact with, an enabling and nurturing environment. This underlying environment helps the system to structure itself and guide its operations - Such an environment is called a "Morphic Field".
A Living System cannot be separate, independent or just simply connected to its environments like a Linear System busness can be. It must be integrally embedded within its enabling and nurturing environments and inseparable from them.
For a Living System Business, the Internet is its "Morphic Field". Thus, the foundation for every Living System business is its embedded Internet presence - This is not just some on-line technical connection and extension of the business - It is at the heart of the business as a network of multi-dimensional interactions.
Therefore, the Internet presence of a business is best made with web-based, and if possible open source, information tools. They have the greatest capacity for embeddedness and network interactivity within the Internet. And we believe the primary tools for Internet presence are Blogs - Networks of both Business and Personal Blogs - plus other web-based tools like specialized websites, Google Apps and various communication, collaboration and audio/visual services.
Above I introduced you to how the Isis Group Network business organization is structuring itself. Now I outline how its network of Blogs is structured.
Down the left column of the Blog page you are now reading, you see Three types of Typelists - Isis Core Knowledge Blogs, Isis Group Network Blogs and Isis Team Member Blogs. These are the three categories of Blogs the Isis Group Network uses to embedd itself in the Internet. The links within each Typelist are the names of the individual Blogs. By clicking on these links, you can navigate to any other Blog of the network. Using other links within the posts of each Blog you can navigate directly within the Isis Group Network and its relationships outside the network.

Each Blog of the network is a constantly growing structure of posts, links and interactions for information and actions involving persons and organizations both within the Isis Group Network and linked with it anywhere the Internet reaches. This cannot be easily handled by conventional websites and bookmarked pages.

Four Blogs for the bodies of Core Knowledge underlying the work of the Isis Group Network. The name of each Blog and a brief description of its content are:
