Conference Introduction

Corporate Learning: Trends and Innovations is an exciting opportunity for corporate leaders, directors, CLOs, trainers, and consultants to discuss the directions and innovations in corporate learning.

Corporate Learning: Trends and Innovations is a free online conference, running from November 15-20, 2007. World renown speakers will present live (all sessions will be recorded). Of greatest value, we feel, will be the opportunity for attendees to engage in dialog with each other through online forums – forming connections and exchanging ideas and visions on corporate learning.

Corporate Learning: Trends and Innovations offers attendees a different kind of conference experience with many opportunities for active participation for attendees who wish. All sessions will be recorded and available within a few minutes after the session for people who cannot attend at that time.

Registration: The conference is free of charge, but REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED

Open Source Science: A New Model for Innovation

Aquí tenéis un enlace a una entrevista que Martha Lagace hace a Karim Lakhani (su blog es: Spoudaiospaizen [Serious Play] Karim R. Lakhani’s Infrequent Musings:

Q&A with:	Karim Lakhani
Published:	November 20, 2006
Author:	Martha Lagace

Executive Summary:

Borrowing a practice that is common in the open source software community, HBS professor Karim R. Lakhani and colleagues decided to see how «broadcasting» might work among scientists trying to solve scientific problems. The results? Promising for many types of innovation, as he explains in this Q&A. Key concepts include:

• Practices in the open source software community offer a model for encouraging large-scale scientific problem solving.
• Open up your problem to other people in a systematic way. A problem may reside in one domain of expertise and the solution may reside in another.
• Find innovative licensing ways or legal regimes that allow people to share knowledge without risking the overall intellectual property of the firm.

Lakhani and colleagues decided to see how «broadcasting» might work among scientists trying to solve scientific problems. The results? Promising for many types of innovation, as he explains in this Q&A.

In a perfect world, scientists share problems and work together on solutions for the good of society. In the real world, however, that’s usually not the case. The main obstacles: competition for publication and intellectual property protection.

Is there a model for encouraging large-scale scientific problem solving? Yes, and it comes from an unexpected and unrelated corner of the universe: open source software development.

That’s the view of Karim R. Lakhani, an assistant professor at Harvard Business School with an extensive research background in open source software communities and their innovation and product development strategies. His latest research analyzes how open source norms of transparency, permeable access, and collaboration might work with scientists. (…)

Martha Lagace: Given your research background in open source software communities, how did you become interested in the world of scientific problem solving?

Karim R. Lakhani: Open source collaboration is a very different model for innovation and product development than most firms are used to. I began to wonder where we might see similar patterns occur outside the software domain. In open source communities we see a vast degree of openness in which everybody can participate, but also the practice of broadcasting your work to everybody else.(leer más…)
