Our Collaborative Community and Conscious Business Models

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.
