6. Open Sourcing Something 
Workshop @Ecovillage 7 Linden, May 22, 2014, Lars Zimmermann, Open It Agency

7. Products/Things can become
platforms

8. Products/Things can become
platforms
Getting copied is not necessarily a bad thing.

9. openstructures.net
-Imagine this is your
platform
-People copy and share
parts
-Roles for them appear –
they have an interesst in
the platform
-The platform grows and
becomes stronger

10. Product/Things as a platform
Opening up can give other people/stakeholders a perspective
to gain an income for themselve and sustain their lives.
ROLES appear for them.
Those actors stabelize the platform and its core-product and
bring it forward. -> Growth.
A more complex and richer ecosystem around the product
or service can emerge. It becomes more valuable.
Design and support this in a way, that you can make your
share – an income for yourself.
„The risk of bankruptcy of such open-movement businesses is reduced because the
fruits of their work remain in the commons and therefore remain as a permanent
base for recovering the open business, even in their most critical situations.“
Wikipedia on Open Business
