Talks

Some of my talks at various conferences and events, see my Slideshare profile and YouTube channel for more.

The Power of Open Source Innovation

At ThingsCon Amsterdam 2017 I gave a workshop on Open Source Innovation. After a lively conversation on the possibilities, pros and cons of Open Business Models and Gongban, the participants chose to work on their own cases in groups using the Open Platform Design Flowchart by Lars Zimmermann. View the slides on Slideshare below, or download the slides as PDF. Participants chose not to work on the 'standard' WasteBuster exercise, but the case description is available for download. A possible 'solution' to that case is in my blogpost "No Time To Waste!" (Spoiler Alert!).
