Open-sourcing of IP
Read and tell us what you think.....
Open-sourcing of IP (programmes and systems) has become more prevalent recently due to the power of the internet where vast knowledge is available. IP, therefore, has become de-valued. We see this in the software industry (Linux and Apache, Wikipedia) and how open sourcing is taking over paid-for programmes or information.
The key to open-sourcing success is allowing the generation of ideas from passionate experts to contribute and be rewarded. It is the key element to forming and maintaining a community.
By open-sourcing our programmes we allow consultants to continually improve those programmes and use them as they see fit for their clients. Performance-based quality controls however need to be in place to ensure the programmes and services are of a high standard.
The knowledge pool is continually updated and will provide consultants the competitive edge over static, closed-sourced organisations.
We would like comment on how you feel about the sharing of each others IP.
Tell us what you think.
Is the rationale correct?
What features or principles would benefit you as a consultant?
