Participatory Innovation

Here's a link to a good article by Todd Hirsch on the need for a more extensible funding model for education. It relates very well to an integrated, participatory approach to open innovation. And while we are on the topic of complementarity, here is a piece that further debunks the myth of the individual inventor that posits an additive approach to innovation. A participatory, people-centred innovation assumes a collaborative and collective approach to furthering common innovation needs. As noted in my last post, this is a strong theme for the coming year.
