You might have heard of a new breed of organisational models, responding to the fast growing adaptability, engagement and collaboration needs within modern company structures. Or you might have simply experienced the sound problems of slowness, rigidity, bureaucracy, disengagement along with various kinds of waste and bottlenecks that “traditional” organisational models generate and suffer nowadays. What if OpenDrop is the first real experiment of a new way of doing research and business, together with a constantly growing, loosely coupled and horizontally managed team of value driven innovators? This is a tale from the future where in the development of OpenDrop (OD) we have deployed an innovative governance and operations management system which is meant to be adaptive, dynamic and anti-fragile. Where we have successfully layed the foundations for our governance in the principles of commons-based peer production and liquid management allowing anyone to contribute, and for this contribution to be accounted.

Future Proof Design and the Platform Design CanvasSimone Cicero
This presentation was given as an introduction of a workshop on the platform design canvas during the Barcelona Design Thinking Week at the Elisava Design and Engineering School.
The objective of the canvas is to help people design Platforms and Ecosystems not only one shot, one feature, linear products.
The canvas itself is derived by the Business Model Canvas of which it tries to overcome the limitations when applied in Platform Design.
The Platform Design Canvas is currently in Live Edit here http://goo.gl/wz615

Digital Evolutions: Startups, Platforms and EcosystemsSimone Cicero
This presentation was first released as Lecture in two Startup Accelerators lately. The presentation recaps on several digital trends and correlates them with Platform Design, previously covered in the record breaking "Future Proof Design" presentation available here: http://www.slideshare.net/Meedabyte/future-proof-design-and-the-platform-design-canvas.
In search for new ideas to frame Platform Design as a discipline in a more global discourse regarding the digital market, I went in search of complementary theories: most of this research have been consolidated in this lecture
In parallel, the Platform Design canvas is transforming into a more comprehensive Toolkit. See context here: http://wp.me/plmpp-uG
The Collaborative Economy is always depicted as a revolution coming from an increasing role of communities and collaboration: in reality, growing technology enablers give individuals totally new possibilities and potential and therefore the collaborative shift should be seen from this alternative, key point of view, that of leveraging the potential of ones, multiplied by platforms and collaborative processes.
In this process, modern capitalism encompasses the whole of te self in a natural evolution that was predicted by Karl Marx already. It's just cognitive capitalism and it's just starting.
The big question is: will this post-industrial capitalism evolve into... post-capitalism?

Becoming platforms: Harnessing the power of communities, beyond crowd-sourcing and openness.
This lecture was given on request to the Chamber of Commerce of Forlì-Cesena.
The original topic was "crowdsourcing" but it's now pretty obvious that there's no such thing as crowdsourcing anymore.
Indeed crowdsourcing is still an old-fashioned way of looking at peers and producers (exploitation): the switch that all businesses and organizations must undertake now is that towards 100% collaborative organization, which relates with peers and users in a co-creative way, becoming an "enabler". For those interested you should look into this post http://bit.ly/PostCapitalismAndPlatforms
Blog link here >> http://goo.gl/Z8P6Q
(context/introduction of the presentation)
This is the presentation I used for my talk at the IDCAMP.
I tried to put together two things:
- an analysis of the new practices we need to create enduring and impacting enterprise in a time of radical change
- a practical 10 rules guide to be adopted.
All the material produced on my own is CC-BY-NC.
On Tuesday the 23rd of October, I had the honor and pleasure to speak on the subject of gLocality and innovation at the Udine’s DITEDI (District of Digital Technologies) born in a corner of Italy where the concentration of companies that are somehow involved in innovation and digital is awesome, one of the largest in Europe.
During my speech, I first introduced the correlation between the digitization of the economy, democratization, cooperation and resilience (in a context of access to resources that will become increasingly problematic in the future) and then moved on to the topic of companies transformation.
Generating a more resilient culture of entrepreneurship, striving for a "Future Proof Enterprise" (I already dealt with this in the past) the very same long term business that Fred Wilson is teaching in the Valley thanks to its "How to stay in business Forever " skillshare class: this is the innovation to look for right now.
This innovation quest, however, passes not only trough the acquisition of new learning tools, (such as lean thinking and agile practice) but also trough a more or less radical cultural change as local administrators have correctly guessed during the introduction.
I finished with three clear rules to be followed:
enable cross-fertlizzation through physically and logically shared creative contexts (such as Coworking, Fablabs or Hackerspaces)
focus on your own unique culture, nurture local, trustable relations and seek for local impact,in the long-term
foster an entrepreneurial mindset and teach job creation rather than job search (“make a job”).

Exponential Organizations - Why new organizations are 10x better, faster and ...Yuri van Geest
Exponential Organizations (ExOs, #ExponentialOrgs) - authored by Yuri van Geest, Salim Ismail, Peter Diamandis and Mike Malone and published by Singularity University Press - how to build exponential organizations with exponential technologies and new organizational techniques for an exponential era.
This is first book integrating all key organizational and technology trends into a new and holistic 11 attribute framework applicable for startups, mid markets and corporates. To create exponential organizations instead of classic, linear ones which were developed more than 100 years ago.
We already received the Best Business Book of the Year 2014 Award by Frost & Sullivan and are accepted in the prestigeous C-Suite Book Club.
The book has been thoroughly researched in the last 30 months and we looked for patterns in the most important exponentials companies in the world in the last 6 years like Waze, Tesla, Airbnb, Uber, Xiaomi, Netflix, Valve, Google (Ventures), GitHub, Quirky and 60 other companies including successful corporates like GE, Haier, Coca Cola, Amazon, Citibank and ING Bank. We interviewed 70 global leaders and thinkers like Marc Andreessen, Arianna Huffington, Steve Forbes, Philip Rosedale, Tim O'Reilly, Chris Anderson and many others.
The book is already an Amazon bestseller in the pre-order phase since June, 2014 in the categories Startups, Business Management and Innovation.
I talk about the evolution of digital content into services, the role of sensors in the future of the web, about the idea of man-machine collaboration in internet services, and about the role of social networking in building content.

The working world is in a complete transformation. The processing factors are known. And the digital is a part of the problems :
- digital technologies transform the nature of any jobs that humans still do : jobs use computer more often, they are more abstract, and more mobile.
- Relationships and time are porous, and this porosity is all consuming.
- and recent studies have shown that robotics and smart systems will continue to destroy creative, service-related and skilled occupations.

Launching digital biology, 12 May 2015, Bremenbioflux
Intro. It is not a secret that in biology laboratories hours of manual work are considered a compulsory part of the experiment. During a day of work, lab researchers have to pipette the right amounts of fluids in tubes, carry them from one machine to another, program and handle each machine individually, label and document carefully each step and then convert the results to data and analyse it. For a simple routine experiment, each of the mentioned tasks is performed at least 10 times/day. Past decade, a big effort has been done to produce machines (e.g., pipetting robots) that would automate some of the tasks in the lab. However, these machines were developed under the industrial mindset to maximize the throughput of a single task. Thus, these machines are of large size, task-specific, difficult to use (they usually come with dedicated drivers and software) and most importantly, extremely expensive. A solution is the use of digital microfluidics to enable the advance from automated biology to digital biology. In my vision, a digital lab should be:
• fully integrated, running all the tasks on the same machine
• easy to use, with a web-based software for biological design of new experiments and hardware control
• general-purpose, allowing easy reconfiguration and design of new experiments
• cheap, offering open-source and do-it-yourself assembly kits
Talk. In the talk, I will present an overview of the road to digital biology, covering all the main aspects, from computer-aided design to hardware production and biological applications.
Hands on. Also, prepare for some real engineering action :). I will execute live a biochemical application (enzymatic reaction of β-galactosidase with Xgal) on my homemade digital biochip. We will then discuss the current challenges in the development process and everyone will get a chance to play with the device. And of course, I will happily consider any engineering advice or idea you have :).

Open Standards and Modularity, by Federico Muffattobioflux
Open standards and modularity have the power to improve our lives and future applications of every device. Digital microfluidics isn’t different from any other discipline, it just benefits from a common environment where makers can develop and share new knowledge and users can seamlessly interchange parts and modules as they go.
About the speaker: Federico Muffatto, synthetic biologist and genome editor in a synthetic biology spin-off in Amsterdam. When you don’t find him designing DNA and trying to look busy filling pipette boxes you’ll probably see him around the Waag Society Open WetLab or collaborating with designers and other people ordinary biologists never met in their lives, shocking them with the latest news from organisms design.
He's collaborating to Digi.Bio project and Waag Society.
A new version of the OpenDrop was conceived by members of the active digital biology community. In this talk Urs Gaudenz will present the current state of the development and give an outlook.
www.gaudi.ch
About the speaker:
Urs Gaudenz is microengineer and founder of GaudiLabs. He is working as lecturer, consultant in innovation management and maker extraordinaire.
Digital Biology is the computer programming of bioassays using digital microfluidic biochips based on electrowetting on dielectric technology. Digital Biology allows for wide scale automation of procedures in synthetic biology by improving efficiency between 1000 to 100000 fold compared to manual laboratory work, for the first time enabling wide scale rapid prototyping for the iterative creation of biological systems. To successfully decentralize the Digital Biology technology, we want to develop Bioflux Technology—a platform that will automate the synthetic biology flow with great medical and commercial potential. Bioflux Technology will be a combination of a software suite for biologists to plan experiments, a microfluidic device, electronics hardware to run the experiments and the required wetware (biological reagents) to perform a wide range of standardized bioassays used in synthetic biology.
About the speaker:
Ruediger Trojok is a Diplom Biologist, that invented a novel contraceptive method based on genetically altered lactic acid bacteria. He worked as a freelance consultant for the office for Technology Assessment by the German Parliament on biohacking and synthetic biology. Since 2014 he works for the Institute for Technology Assessment and Systems Analysis at the Karlsruhe Institute for Technology on the EU program Synenergene. He is currently establishing a citizen science biolab in Berlin, and is supporting open-source biotechnology projects related to public life, politics and the arts.

With approximated 15bn molecular assays performed per year in biological laboratories, the automation of these procedures is a strong demand by laboratory scientists. Digital Biology is the computer aided programming of biological assays using digital microfluidic biochip (DMFB) devices based on electrowetting on dielectric technology. Digital Biology allows for wide scale automation of laboratory procedures in synthetic biology by improving efficiency between 1000 to 100000 fold compared to manual laboratory work, for the first time enabling wide scale rapid prototyping for the iterative creation of biological systems. We want to develop the Droplet Flux Technology for intricate control of droplets on DMFBs. Droplet Flux will be a combination of an online software suit for researchers to plan experiments, an open source operating system for DMFB devices and wetware kits to perform a wide range of standardized bioassays used in synthetic biology. Provided that yet open safety questions around synthetic biology are resolved, a portable device using Flux Technology could be constructed and its use extended for e.g. environmental monitoring in agriculture or point of care diagnostics for regular citizens.
Copyrights, Trademarks, Patents, by Tobias Kuban and Matthias Bockbioflux
With the increasing importance of computers and software in the second half of the 20th century, there began a debate about how the shareability of software would reconcile with the compensation of their programmers. The debate ultimately lead to the formalization of the terms Open Source and Free Software, that have since provided the legal foundation upon which the free software movement has thrived. Not least due to the steadily increasing technical possibilities for biohackers to perform professional work, a similar debate is now beginning in the area of biology: How can individuals be creative in a community of sharing but at the same time gain from the fruits of their labor? In this talk we would like to give a short introduction to the legal terms relevant in this context, point out analogies to the software world and address the question, what legal measures exist for free biologists and biohackers, who at the same time feel they should be compensated for their work but also wish to share it with a larger community.
About the speakers:
Tobias is a law student and biohacker from Berlin and an active member of the Berlin-based biohacker association Biotinkering. In his free time he is working in his allotment garden, in particular towards breeding a kind of apple, which is resistant to the fire blight disease. For this purpose he has amongst other things has designed and built his own PCR machine.
Matthias is an engineer and biohacker from Berlin. He studied Biochemistry, Biophysics and Technical Informatics and is an active member of Biotinkering in the context of which he amongst other things has experimented with luminescent microorganisms and mushrooms, cellulose-producing microbial societies and flower dyes as pH indicators.

Produsage and Beyond: Exploring the Pro-Am InterfaceAxel Bruns
Staff Seminar
Thursday 29 Oct., 2-4 p.m.
Seminar Room, Journalism & Media Research Centre, 1-3 Eurimbla St (corner High St), Randwick
The concept of produsage (Bruns 2008) describes the user-led collaborative approach to content creation which is prevalent in open source, citizen journalism, and the Wikipedia, as well as many other social media spaces. While many produsage projects have emerged initially to challenge dominant players in industry, their successful establishment as viable and sustainable alternatives also opens the door for an exploration of manageable cooperative arrangements between industry and community. Many challenges remain for such Pro-Am (Leadbeater & Miller 2004) models, however - not least an often deep-seated sense of mutual distrust -, and successful Pro-Am models may be most likely to succeed when sponsored by trusted third parties (public broadcasters, NGOs). This presentation explores pitfalls and possibilities in the Pro-Am space.
Netfilmmakers were given the opportunity to arrange a one-day workshop for students at the Hyper Island Media School in Karlskrona, Sweden. The chosen theme was Digital Emotionality and creative, collaborative use of Social Media Networks. August 26, 2009.

Technology as a Cultural Practice - UX AustraliaRachel Hinman
How do you design a mobile money service for people in rural Uganda who’ve never had a bank account? How do you test the usability of a mobile phone’s address book for users in rural India who’ve never had an address… yet alone an analog address book?
As cheap PCs and inexpensive mobile phones flood the global market, usability and user experience professionals will encounter more and more questions like these – questions that challenge not only our research tools and methodologies, but our fundamental assumptions about how people engage with technology. In this talk, Rachel will share insights she’s gained through creating experiences that must scale across vastly different cultures. She’ll share her thoughts on the challenges and opportunities designing for global markets will present to the user experience industry in the years to come.
Question everything - Designing more effectively for social impactRichard Anderson
Standard human-centered design practices are often well-suited for well-structured problems, but fall short for considering the broader social implications of solutions to well-structured problems and for attempting to address ill-structured or so-called “wicked societal problems” (e.g., our broken healthcare system, homelessness, addiction to social media or electronic devices).
Richard will review many of the common characteristics of well-structured, ill-structured, and wicked problems, and, with the workshop attendees, will discuss their implications.
Then, by questioning everything about the standard design process for well-structured problems, Richard will identify common process shortcomings, present examples of projects that ignored such shortcomings as well as of projects that didn’t, and provide attendees with the opportunity to experience ways of how to address such shortcomings.
Attendees will emerge better able to target social impact intentionally and better able to design for achieving that intentional social impact.
