True Collaboration

True collaboration is a distinction from what people usually mean when they say 'collaboration.' The standard definition is intramural - collaborating within the walls of your org or business. But few serious business authors - I've yet to see the first one - truly act upon the notion that we should collaborate openly with our 'competition' - other companies who are working on the same things. This would require open knowhow, thus evolving the world to a Post-Scarcity Economy.

True collaboration is the 'giving' sense of divine proportion. Translated to practice - this means that a company is open to share its productive knowhow with others. In fact, its business model recognizes the potential advantage of open collaboration. True collaboration is embodied in the concept of Distributive Enterprise - an enterprise that has processes for both accepting and sharing of economically-significant knowhow.

The Civic Democracy of True Collaboration

We believe in a participatory approach to life, where true responsibility for the world around us means that we take a collaborative approach to economics. This means open, collaborative product development as opposed to hundreds of companies reinventing the wheel while claiming superior results. This is a faulty mental model, where a priori the results cannot be superior because of the doctrine of Collaborative Advantage . When this happens, we believe that innovation will be unleashed - as many more people are relieved from financial dependence to pursue their dreams. In such a world, there will be fewer specialists and more generalists. This is due to critiques such as One Dimensional Man or The Best and the Brightest. In a new world, more people will be creative - implying that more people will be productive in terms of creating authentic value - not Redistributing value in a parasitic way.
