Sensorica and Pearce

• Article - good study of critical elements of effectiveness on open collaboration - [1]

Lessons:

• Work open source. Lack of open source brand identity in the Open Value Network, and lack of open licensing in the Peer Production License - create a culture that veers away from true, open collaboration
• However, while Sensorica’s open value network is designed to sustain open, collaborative and decentralised modesof production - this does not appear to be entirely true, as open here does not mean open source in the technical sense
• For example, whilethere was an explosion of creative design solutions (due to thediverse backgrounds of participating affiliates), this also created asignificant amount of additional work to cull the core design downto a single concept. - this can be addressed by the Second Toyota Paradox, which does not appear to be included in the Sensorica methodology.
• sustaining community participation were also a challenge, as many of the initial participants dropped out of the project after the ideation phase (see Figure 6 for a graph visualising project engagement). - solution - MTPs only, please
