I’ve started blogging over at OpenInnovators.net today, kicking off a discussion about collaboration within collaboration companies. Here is an excerpt:
This last weekend, at the Northern Voice conference in Vancouver, I had the pleasure of spending a few minutes talking about collaboration and crowdsourcing with the great folks at GiveMeaning. I had a similar discussion with Jaison Morgan, of the X-Prize Foundation, in Santa Monica last fall. But sadly, these sorts of meetings seem to be few and far between.
By my last count, there are a few dozen web portals dedicated to crowd-sourcing, on the spectrum from ideation, through charity and into straight-up commerce and procurement. I should know – I run one of them. And yet, in a field defined by cooperation over competition, and the wisdom of the crowd over the supremacy of the individual, there is a noticeable
glaringlack of communication between these companies.
To see what conclusions I draw from this, as well as the new cross-media tags I’m proposing, you can read the rest of the article here.
And, if you have ideas of things you’d like to see me blog about, (at OpenInnovators.net, on the BountyUp blog, or here) – please let me know.
