- Openness or How Do You Design for the Loss of Control? | by @timleberecht | design mind – Quite brilliant!!! CLIP: "Openness is no longer just a nice stunt but a fundamental requirement for any business that wants to thrive in the new “pull economy. ……..The loss of control enables the creation of more weak ties in a company’s network (inside and outside of the organization), and, as social network research has shown, weak ties are more conducive to transporting foreign ideas, knowledge, and skills – because they move faster from one node to the other as the network becomes more accessible and nimble on its fringes. ………….. You could argue that designers have been designing creation spaces, feedback mechanisms, and other participatory experiences for some time now. ………….It seems like the time is ripe to understand these efforts as part of a broader shift and consolidate them into a series of formats that, going forward, shall serve as blueprints for “design for the loss of control,” across different corporate functions and disciplines."
