From the Ted Talk by Charles Leadbeater: The era of open innovation

Unscramble the Blue Letters


What you'll see, I think, is two things that are critical, and these, I think, are two challenges for the open movement. The first is: can we really svvriue on volunteers? If this is so critical, do we not need it fedund, organized, supported in much more structured ways? I think the idea of creating the Red Cross for information and knowledge is a fantastic idea, but can we really organize that, just on volunteers? What kind of changes do we need in public pocliy and fnuindg to make that possible? What's the role of the BBC, for itcnnsae, in that world? What should be the role of plbuic policy? And filnaly, what I think you will see is the intelligent, closed organizations moving increasingly in the open diercoitn. So it's not going to be a contest between two camps, but, in between them, you'll find all sorts of interesting pacels that people will occupy. New organizational models coming about, mixing closed and open in tickry ways. It won't be so clear-cut; it won't be Microsoft versus Linux — there'll be all sorts of things in between. And those organizational models, it turns out, are incredibly powerful, and the people who can understand them will be very, very successful.

What you'll see, I think, is two things that are critical, and these, I think, are two challenges for the open movement. The first is: can we really survive on volunteers? If this is so critical, do we not need it funded, organized, supported in much more structured ways? I think the idea of creating the Red Cross for information and knowledge is a fantastic idea, but can we really organize that, just on volunteers? What kind of changes do we need in public policy and funding to make that possible? What's the role of the BBC, for instance, in that world? What should be the role of public policy? And finally, what I think you will see is the intelligent, closed organizations moving increasingly in the open direction. So it's not going to be a contest between two camps, but, in between them, you'll find all sorts of interesting places that people will occupy. New organizational models coming about, mixing closed and open in tricky ways. It won't be so clear-cut; it won't be Microsoft versus Linux — there'll be all sorts of things in between. And those organizational models, it turns out, are incredibly powerful, and the people who can understand them will be very, very successful.
