We-Think
October 14, 2008 12:50 pm BooksWe-think: The Power of Mass Creativity
You may remeber that a while back I said I’d been to a talk at the Birtish Library for the launch of we-think a book about collaboration in modern society. Well I’m finally close enough to the end to write a bit more (yes things really are taking time at the moment!). It’s an interesting book, not a page turning thriller, most of it is the obvious but with some well researched detail. It doesn’t really provide any conclusion but is more the basis of the thoughts for a discussion, which as the book is about collaborating… makes sense.
If you have an academic interest in Crowd Sourcing, collaborative working and projects, or even on organisational structures then there will be something there for you. If what you want to do is leap in and start collaborating, then just go and get on with it I’m sure you can live without it. Interesting but not essential.
Whilst I bought my copy you can get a PDF version of We-Think here, I’d certainly recommend reading at least the first 3 chapters.
