learnings

Page 120: #bmgen: The Story of a Bestselling Management Book

co-creation and transparency = increased vulnerability#

Page 121: #bmgen: The Story of a Bestselling Management Book

you canʼt control it so you need to govern it#

Page 122: #bmgen: The Story of a Bestselling Management Book

co-creation and open innovation is often more work#

Page 123: #bmgen: The Story of a Bestselling Management Book

distribution is a commodity / attention is the new scarcity#

Page 124: #bmgen: The Story of a Bestselling Management Book

most co-creators will be fairly passive most of the time#
