The document summarizes a presentation about openness and where it is headed next. The presentation was divided into three parts: (1) how openness has faced problems with being dominated by large companies and power structures, (2) how some organizations still embrace openness through agency and control over their work, as shown through case studies of GOV.UK, citizen air pollution monitoring, and open source thesis repositories, and (3) capabilities organizations can develop like networking, strategic vision, funding, user focus, and technical skills to embed openness.
Working Paper: The role of innovation for sustainable future. itdUPM meeting. 14 April 2015. Industrial Technical School, Technical University of Madrid (UPM). 13:30 - 15:30h
Innovation can arise from many different sources. It can originate with individuals, as in the familiar image of the lone inventor or users who design solutions for their own needs. Innovation can also come from the research efforts of universities, government laboratories and incubators, or private nonprofit organizations. One primary engine of innovation is firms. Firms are well suited to innovation activities because they typically have greater resources than individuals and a management system to marshal those resources toward a collective purpose. Firms also face strong incentives to develop differentiating new products and services, which may give them an advantage over nonprofit or government-funded entities.

Success Factors of Open Innovation - A Literature ReviewWaqas Tariq
This paper reviews the research on the open innovation process in order to identify critical success factors. The study consists of a systematic review of 29 referred empirical articles on the open innovation process. The studies reviewed highlight different success factors for the open innovation process. These factors are grouped into nine themes: 1) relational aspects, 2) the people involved in the process, 3) governance, 4) facilitators, 5) provision of resources, 6) strategy, 7) process management, 8) leadership and 9) culture. Based upon the findings, the study proposes a number of future research directions that may stimulate more intensive investigation of this field.

As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.
Open yet everywhere in chains: Where next for open knowledge?
1. Open yet everywhere in
chains: Where next for open
knowledge?
VOGIN-IP-Lezing,
March 16 2023, Amsterdam
Alastair Dunning, TU Delft Library
2. Hello!
I am Alastair Dunning
You can find me at:

5. A presentation in three parts
1. Openness in Chains
Laying out some of the
problems associated
with the concept of
openness in the digital
world
2. Painting a
different picture
Showing how
flourishing
organisations still
make use of openness.
In particular, showing
how openness is not an
end in itself, but
related to the notion of
agency (agentschap)
3. Openness in your
organisation
What can information
professionals do so
that their
organisations escape
from the current chains
and reclaim a modified
sense of openness and
agency
5
7. "Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains.”
Rousseau championed an
open, natural state of
mankind. To him, society
had become enclosed by
various forms of
monarchical and despotic
rule.
7
8. "Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains.”
This language of liberty
and openness was often
used in the first days of the
World Wide Web
8
9. “
“The public good they make possible is the world-
wide electronic distribution of the peer-reviewed
journal literature and completely free and
unrestricted access to it by all scientists, scholars,
teachers, students, and other curious minds.”
9
Budapest Declaration on Open Access
10. “
“We are creating a world where anyone, anywhere
may express his or her beliefs, no matter how
singular, without fear of being coerced into silence
or conformity.”
10
11. Open Access?
Within the field of scholarly publishing, open
access is dominated by four large companies, to
which universities and others pay millions of
euros annually. Other scientific tools, even if
they born out of dynamic, open, independent
companies, can (and are bought up) by these
big four.
11
12. Open AI?
“Over time, it has allowed a fierce
competitiveness and mounting pressure for
ever more funding to erode its founding ideals
of transparency, openness, and collaboration.”
12
13. Open Editing?
Wikipedia, has acknowledged the limits of its
radical openness (the encyclopedia that anyone
can edit) has meant it has reflected existing
power structures in the outside world, thus
minimising content and contributions from
female, global south, people of colour.
13
14. Should we
give up on
the
concept of
open?
14
“Knowledge
is open yet
everywhere
in chains”
16. A reminder - previous justifications for openness
openness and
transparency
support
accountability
it enables us to delve
inside the workings of
an organisation or a
piece of code to
understand it better,
detect where things
are going wrong, and
do something about it;
openness removes
friction and reduces
duplication
this is a more self-
interested purpose,
especially relevant in
large organisations
where there’s a need to
break down silos, or in
pre-competitive spaces
where joint activity
leads to joint benefits;
openness enables
creativity and
innovation
with the idea that
people can reuse and
build on existing work
to create new things.
16
17. Agency
The importance of being able of
controlling your own destiny. For me
the key aspect of openness is that
agency gives the organisation, and
hopefully the individual staff within the
organisation, the ability to control
what they work they are doing, without
an imbalanced reliance on third
parties.
17
18. Case Study 1. GOV.UK - The UK Government Digital Service
2013 :
Spending on external
suppliers to provide digital
projects was ‘expensive and
embarrassing’, with 12
billion pounds for health
service IT systems ‘going
straight down the drain’
18
19. Case Study 1. GOV.UK - The UK Government Digital Service
2016: “The United Nations
ranked the UK first in the
world for digital
government”
Many things contributed to
this. Agency was one of
them.
19
20. Case Study 1. GOV.UK - The UK Government Digital Service
As a consequence of outsourcing, many IT teams in big organisations have
been effectively captured by suppliers. Denuded of their own technical
capabilities, they have been reduced to the role of contract managers–
buying things in the hope it will fix the problems caused by the last order
of stuff they bought.
Without the skills needed to properly interrogate suppliers’ offerings,
organisations buy the wrong things on lengthy contracts, leaving minimal
room for them to respond when circumstances change. All this is
anathema to designing and running decent digital services or meet user
needs.
20
21. Case Study 2. Hollandse Luchten
21
Residents in Noord-Holland
long suspected that poor air
quality in the area was a
result of the Tata Steel
works in Ijmuiden
But how best to prove it?
22. Case Study 2. Hollandse Luchten
22
Via open innovation methods in
combination with affordable
open hardware, citizens creating
an open data source of air
pollution.
By claiming their agency via open
means. The residents can then
take informed action to solve the
problem
23. Case Study 3. Masters Theses at TU Delft
23
“Users expressed that it's difficult to use
the repository to find inspiration for your
own graduation project, see what reports
are good or not, or to find out what
supervisors look for in a project, or what
projects they usually take on.
After uploading, the entry looks boring,
and doesn't grip the reader's attention.
Furthermore, the entries are not very
visible internally, or externally (like on
google scholar).”
24. Case Study 3. Masters Theses at TU Delft
24
Proposed new design includes:
'Thumbnail' images, graphical abstracts, posters, embedded
videos, and interactive embeds (such as 3D model viewers),
which show what the thesis is about.
One or two sentence 'pitches' under titles that allow users to
quickly assess interest.
Views, bookmark, and download metrics that show how
popular a thesis is; Entry awards; featured theses; and
supervisor highlights make it easier for users to find examples
of good projects.
Supervisor profiles that show all their supervised theses,
some information on what they do, and if they might be
available for supervising your project.
Related theses/supervisors/keywords in a sidebar can help a
user find more of what they're interested in.
25. Case Study 3. Masters Theses at TU Delft
25
Responding to changing user
needs is crucial. This is difficult
with closed systems from third-
parties
We’ve chosen to develop our new
repository open source so that we
have the agency to develop and
respond to user needs
27. User-orientated
Five capabilities for the open organisation
Networking Strategic Vision A degree of financial
commitment
27
Technical
Development Skills
28. Capability 1. Networking
28
Institutions have a role to play in
contributing to that governance,
whether as active fully engaged
partners or as more passive
supporters.
Example: Koninklijke Bibliotheek
recently joined Open Knowledge
Maps
29. Capability 2. Strategic Vision
There’s no point contributing to open national
and global initiatives if you are unable to
convince colleagues at your institution that this
is a good idea
Example: Gov.UK had openness as a guiding
principle.
“We should share what we’re doing whenever
we can. With colleagues, with users, with the
world. Share code, share designs, share ideas,
share intentions, share failures. The more eyes
there are on a service the better it gets - howlers
are spotted, better alternatives are pointed out,
the bar is raised.”
