Creative Commons Open Business Models, Case Studies, & FindingsPaul_Stacey
Presentation given at Open Education Conference 2015 in Vancouver British Columbia, November 19, 2015.
Description: In March of 2015, with support from the Hewlett Foundation, Creative Commons launched an open business model initiative aimed squarely at showing how Creative Commons licenses can, and are, used by business, nonprofits and governments. This initiative emerged out of a need to show how organizations and creators can produce OER and other Creative Commons licensed works in a way that generates social good in sustainable and financially sound ways.
Creative Commons open business model initiative is being done in an interactive community-based way using an open business model canvas and an online community for sharing and discussion. Creative Commons directly collaborates with organizations using a process that supports both autonomous and collaborative design, development of open business model designs, and ensuing analysis of the results.
In this panel presentation, organizations who worked with Creative Commons to generate an open business model will share their experience. They will describe their motivations, explain how they engaged in the Creative Commons open business model process, outline what they learned, and reveal new opportunities and directions they took as a result.
Creative Commons will describe the tools and processes it used and how those tools and processes evolved and changed through community interaction. Latest versions of tools and process will be compared to starting ones and made available to all participants. Analysis insights from both panel organizations and Creative Commons will be shared.
Creative Commons will outline open business models lessons learned, the types and categories of open business models that emerged, and summarize key findings. Next steps, opportunities for participation and future plans will be described.
Attendees of this session will gain:
- an understanding of the open business model initiative and process
- hands on access to the open business model canvas and other tools they can use to develop their own open business model
- knowledge and insights into how open business models work
- strategies and tactics they can incorporate into their own open business model initiative
- the opportunity to get involved in the initiative in an open and collaborative way

Open Educational Resources (OER) often start as pilot projects initiated by early innovators in higher education institutions. Others are initiated by government. Frequently these projects receive some kind of start up funding to get them going. This webinar explores sustainability strategies for making OER an ongoing integrated part of education. Strategies will explore key success factors to consider when implementing an OER initiative, strategies to build reuse in from the start, and strategies for building communities of users and contributors who collectively take on the roles of maintaining and enhancing OER on an ongoing basis. A business model approach to sustainability will also be outlined.

Editor's Notes
As part of our Kickstarter campaign we invited people to nominate businesses they think we should profile.
We got hundreds of suggestions.
To narrow down the nomination list we generated a set of criteria.:
geographic diversity
industry/domain diversity
mix of creators and platforms
no unicorns. Business model should be replicable (or at least some lessons from the model that can be reused by others)
mix of business models (advertising, physical goods, services, live performances, etc)
CC licensing must be more than incidental to the model
no business model completely reliant on grant funding
must be CC licensing specifically, not software or other open licenses
Generated a short list of almost 80 organizations as potential candidates to profile.
Backers of our campaign were given votes to cast for which ones we should profile.
12 chosen based on votes and 12 by Sarah and I
Potentially interesting to compare and contrast models within a sector and between sectors. How are they similar? How are they different? Is there diversity or are the models more or less all the same?
Global diversity - Do models differ across cultures and regions?”
All case studies involve an unusual invitation.
They are sharing textbooks, music, data, art, more. People, organizations, and businesses all over the world are sharing their work using Creative Commons licenses because they want to encourage the public to reuse their works, to copy them, to modify them.
They are Made with Creative Commons.
But if they are giving their work away to the public for free, how do you make money? This is the question this book sets out to answer.
The 24 in-depth examples reveal different ways to sustain what you do when you share your work. There are lessons, about how to make money but also about what sharing really looks like -- why we do it and what it can bring to the economy and the world.
But as we did our research, something interesting happened. Our initial way of framing the work did not match the stories we were hearing. Those we interviewed were not typical businesses selling to consumers and seeking to maximize profits and the bottom line. Instead, they were sharing to make the world a better place, creating relationships and community around the works being shared, and generating revenue not for unlimited growth but to sustain the operation.
This invitation is especially relevant in the digital context.
Processing power, bandwidth and storage all doubling every 18-24 months while prices go down - not up.
Cost of copying and distributing almost $0.
Mass participation in culture - photographers, writers, videos, … We all are creators.
What if we focused on abundance rather than artificial scarcity?
Focused on creating a commons rather than private property?
Social mission
Moral decision - set of values
Values = access to all, maximize participation, generate value collectively, spur innovation, bring people together for a commons cause
Anyone, anywhere in the world can download furniture designs for local making creating an eco-friendly alternative to mass-production. (Opendesk)
Make research articles discoverable, freely available, and reproducible immediately on publication for the advancement of science. (PLOS)
Contribute to a more informed citizenry and healthy democratic discourse by injecting facts and evidence into the public arena. (The Conversation)
Creating, sharing, and celebrating the world’s visual language. A visual language that can be understood by all cultures and people. (Noun Project)

A world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. (Wikimedia)
“Profit is not the goal, it is the outcome of a well-executed plan. We focus on having a bigger impact on the world.” (SparkFun)
Prosocial human connection.
A move from transaction to interaction.
One of the ways we define ourselves is by sharing valuable and entertaining content.
Sharing grows and nourishes relationships, seeks to change opinions, encourages action, and informs others about who we are and what we care about.
Sharing lets us feel more involved with the world
Sustainability involves combining social good, with human connection, to generate revenue.
Means of generating money falls into two broad categories - Market based and reciprocity based.
Market based
In the market, the central question when determining how to bring in revenue is what value people are willing to pay for. By definition, if you are Made with Creative Commons, the content you provide is available for free and not a market commodity. Like the ubiquitous freemium business model, any possible market transaction with a consumer of your content has to be based on some added value you provide.
Reciprocity based
Even if we set aside grant funding, we found that the traditional economic framework of understanding the market failed to fully capture the ways the endeavors we analyzed were making money. It was not simply about monetizing scarcity. Rather than devising a scheme to get people to pay money in exchange for some direct value provided to them, many of the revenue streams were more about providing value, building a relationship, and then eventually finding some money that flows back out of a sense of reciprocity. While some look like traditional nonprofit funding models, they aren’t charity.
Revenue is seen as enabling social mission, sustaining operation, and funding innovation - not fueling unlimited growth.
Historically, there have been three ways to manage resources and share wealth: the commons (managed collectively), the state (i.e., the government), and the market—with the last two being the dominant forms today.
The organizations and businesses in our case studies are unique in the way they participate in the commons while still engaging with the market and/or state. The extent of engagement with market or state varies.
History of the commons
Some operate primarily as a commons with minimal or no reliance on the market or state.
Wikimedia is 100% a commons
Financial means generated through donations - no market transactions, no state subsidies or grants.
Orange bar = % commons
And still others are hybrids of all three.
Rijksmuseum is primarily state funded but has a store and admission fee.
Makes hundreds of thousands of high quality digital images of its collection available under CC0 and encourages entrepreneurial use through RijksStudio and award.
It’s helpful to understand how the commons, market, and state manage resources differently, and not just for those who consider themselves primarily as a commons. For businesses or governmental organizations who want to engage in and use the commons, knowing how the commons operates will help them understand how best to do so. Participating in and using the commons the same way you do the market or state is not a strategy for success.
The Four Aspects of a Resource
As part of her Nobel Prize–winning work, Elinor Ostrom developed a framework for analyzing how natural resources are managed in a commons. Her framework considered things like the biophysical characteristics of common resources, the community’s actors and the interactions that take place between them, rules-in-use, and outcomes. That framework has been simplified and generalized to apply to the commons, the market, and the state.
To compare and contrast the ways in which the commons, market, and state work, let’s consider four aspects of resource management: resource characteristics, the people involved and the process they use, the norms and rules they develop to govern use, and finally actual resource use along with outcomes of that use.
Based on the belief that successful innovation requires control.
Companies must generate their own ideas, then develop them, build them, market them, distribute them, service them, finance them, and support them, on their own.
Closed innovation counsels businesses to be self-reliant and internally focused.
To be sure of quality, availability, and capability you’ve got to do it yourself.
Doing it all yourself fails to productively make use of new knowledge and ideas outside your business.
Open innovation combines both external and internal ideas to create value.
In addition, ideas can be taken to market through external channels, outside the current business of the firm, to generate additional value.
Open innovation requires less control and more collaboration
Chesbrough, Henry William (2006). Open Innovation: The new imperative for creating and profiting from technology. Boston: Harvard Business School Press. pg. xxii.
Part analysis, part handbook, part collection of case studies, this book is a guide to sharing your knowledge and creativity with the world, and sustaining your operation while you do. Going from a proprietary all-rights-reserved model to one that lets others copy, reuse, and modify your work is a big change. Made with Creative Commons describes the mindshift, the benefits, and the practices that come with going “open.” It makes the case that sharing is good for business, especially for companies, organizations, and creators who care about more than just the bottom line. Full of practical advice and inspiring stories, Made with Creative Commons is a book that will show you what it really means to share.
This is a book about sharing. It is about sharing textbooks, music, data, art, more. People, organizations, and businesses all over the world are sharing their work using Creative Commons licenses because they want to encourage the public to reuse their works, to copy them, to modify them. They are Made with Creative Commons.
But if they are giving their work away to the public for free, how do they make money?
This is the question this book sets out to answer. There are 24 in-depth examples of different ways to sustain what you do when you share your work. And there are lessons, about how to make money but also about what sharing really looks like -- why we do it and what it can bring to the economy and the world.
Historically, there have been three ways to manage resources and share wealth: the commons (managed collectively), the state (i.e., the government), and the market—with the last two being the dominant forms today.
The organizations and businesses in our case studies are unique in the way they participate in the commons while still engaging with the market and/or state. The extent of engagement with market or state varies.
