Is collaboration coming of age? AV Magazine (blog) Don Tapscott's Wikinomics in 2006 talked about the age of collaboration being upon us and the need for business to embrace it.
In 2013, Thinkers50 ranked him fourth among the world’s most influential management thinkers. Tapscott was awarded the Global Solutions Award for launching and leading the Global Solution Networks program, based at the Joseph L. Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, where he is an adjunct professor of management.
Until now, I thought that the Internet only could be used to write emails, look for information on line, or to find a boy or a girlfriend on a matching sites. But the Internet is going beyond these
As humans begin to age, their brains start to shrink and experience reductions in cell activity. For a long time, activities such as cross-word puzzles, and (in Chinese culture) mah jong, were considered practices that can help keep the brain active and counter-act the age related slow downs of the brain. Now, according to a study in the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, surfing the Web can also be added to such activities.
The Wikinomics project aims to foster key competences required for employability in the constantly changing environments of the world of work. It sets free-culture and wiki methodologies as the basis for an innovative pedagogical methodology. Wikinomics will focus on vocational education (also known as vocational education and training or VET) is education that prepares people for specific trades, crafts and careers at various levels from a trade, a craft, technician, or a professional position in engineering, accountancy, nursing, medicine, architecture, pharmacy, law etc. Craft vocations are usually based on manual or practical activities, traditionally non- academic related to a specific trade, occupation or vocation. It is sometimes referred to as technical education as the trainee directly develops expertise in a particular group of techniques.
Wikinomics operates on four main principles of, being open, peering, sharing and acting globally. Don Trapscott identifies the wiki contributor as a “person who is willing to contribute to the system which made him”. Thus this model harnesses on talent across the globe, with significant economies in production and leveraging on social capital.
BusinessWeek heeft afgelopen maand een special report gepubliceerd over Wikinomics. Een special ter ere van het recent gelanceerde boek Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything van Don...
Macrowikinomics is the story of a world with two starkly contrasting realities. On the one hand, many of the institutions that have served us well for decades, even centuries, seemfrozen and unable to move forward.
This Age of Collaboration is also creating an economic revolution that is changing the architecture of the corporation in how we create goods and services. Using the findings of a $9-million research project, Don Tapscott describes how companies innovate using the knowledge resources and computing power of millions of people organizing into a massive collective force.
Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly The word "wiki" means "quick" in Hawaiian, and here author and think tank CEO Tapscott (The Naked Corporation), along with research director Williams, paint in vibrant colors the quickly changing world of Internet togetherness, also known as mass or global collaboration, and what those changes mean for business and technology. Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia written, compiled, edited and re-edited by "ordinary people" is the most ubiquitous example, and its history makes remarkable reading. But also considered are lesser-known success stories of global collaboration that star Procter & Gamble, BMW, Lego and a host of software and niche companies. Problems arise when the authors indulge an outsized sense of scope-"this may be the birth of a new era, perhaps even a golden one, on par with the Italian renaissance, or the rise of Athenian democracy"-while acknowledging only reluctantly the caveats of weighty sources like Microsoft's Bill Gates.
One of the world's leading authorities on social innovation and information technology, Don Tapscott is no stranger to controversy. The cyber-guru has raised eyebrows by asserting that our institutions, including education, are industrial age models unsuited for the age of networked intelligence. But in Trent University he sees a key learning model that will help develop the world's future problem-solvers.
Don Tapscott talks about "Macrowikinomics: Rebooting The Business World" (which he co-authored with Anthony D. Williams), the follow-up to "Wikinomics". In their latest book, Tapscott and Williams proclaim the end of the industrial mode of production and predict the way forward is by internet-driven mass collaboration.
The three-day Business Model Innovation Programme will give you the understanding, knowledge, and practical skills for building innovation into your organisation. The key message: Innovation no longer comes from within a company, but through collaborative, ‘open’ efforts and partnerships. Fresh tools such as ‘crowd sourcing’ and ‘consumer activism’ can help your company to develop new ideas, new features - and also new channels, new usability, new pricing models and consequently, new and innovative ways of doing business.
How we collaborate has profound implications for how we live and work. The author and New York University professor explains how social media has upended traditional norms.
You are a successful executive in a seemingly thriving company. You have just learned about the promise of Wikinomics a new collaborative approach to business from a colleague and are intrigued. But you are so embroiled in day to day commitments that you are unable to see the bigger picture. Every day new challenges are arising and the list of “incomplete” items is just getting bigger and bigger. But Wikinomics seems more than just another management fad and you take time out of your busy week to read the book “Wikinomics” by Tapscott and Williams.
