What We’ve Learned So Far
1. CC licensing doesn’t have much in common with the sharing economy – main similarity is making better use of existing resources
2. Open business models generally have a deeper motivation beyond maximizing profit
3. Successful open businesses usually have a compelling social mission. Akin to fair trade or Leeds building. Establish themselves as social enterprises and BCorps.
4. Open businesses usually have an engaged community contributing to the success of the business.
5. Often crowdsource content and/or marketing
Things We’ve Learned So Far
6. Share rewards and financial returns with their community
7. Maximize abundance – eliminate artificial scarcity.
8. Traditional market economics aren’t a good fit. See - Traditional Economics Don’t Make Sense For Open Business Models
9. Gifts rather than commodities.10. Use multiple means of open.
CC & Open Business Models – Phase 3
