100%Open Business Models & Mindsets

I was pleased to be invited to speak as part of the Unfinished Business School event series at OCADU in Toronto last week by by Michael Dila and Andrew Jenkins. I chose to talk about 100%Open Business Models & Mindsets and my slides are available to view here. The video of the session is due to be online shortly too I believe and I’ll update this post then with the video embedded once it is available.

In summary, I talked about six mindsets which are essential when embracing a more open approach to business, with each illustrated by a case study from our recent experience. By way of brief conclusion I presented the open business model spiral which shows the spread of increasingly diverse number of business models from which we can profit through partnership.

There was an interesting and diverse crowd of people in attendance who asked lots of interesting (and difficult) questions and I enjoyed it a lot. If you are ever in Toronto then I’d urge you to check it out.
