Michel,

Thanks for sharing this post with me.

In terms of how this links with our email conversation…

The idea of losing geographic measures of difference as a result of globalization is a good and key point to consider in terms of understanding P2P and decentralization. So in other words people will see things as less than what Silicon Valley or USA is doing by more in terms of innovation by various groups linked together globally by the net.

A key consideration is how we as part of this global group of innovators can support efforts by the group in a particular region such as was mentioned in the post…rather than say whether core or so called perephrial regions will lead the next stage in societal development in the modern age.

So what that means basically is that innovation will be more driven by certain groups of people in global society rather than among certain leading regions.

Hi Alan (and Michel),

Here http://www.sogeti.nl/Home/Events/terugblik.jsp you’ll find the presentation. It’s in Dutch, but there are a lot of pictures. The book I wrote with my colleague Jaap Bloem is translated and will be out soon [Open for Business: Open Source Inspired Innovation].

Hi Alan,

I can’t make out your email, so I will ask Menno to respond in this space.

How could I get my eyes on the lecture content from the lecture:
Menno Van Doorn (Sogeti) on the rapid growth of crowdsourcing. Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks, Alan.
