How can other institutional leaders follow suit to foster the emergence of creation spaces and collaboration curves? Here are four broad suggestions:

  • More broadly, leaders must redefine the reason their institutions exist, breaking down institutional walls to move from scalable push to scalable pull.
  • Passionate individuals are usually talented and motivated, but they're often unhappy - they see the potential for themselves and for the institution where they work, but can feel blocked in their efforts to achieve it. Institutional leaders must put mechanisms in place to connect these individuals with each other, and serve as their champion.
  • Modified incentive and reward systems help keep these people learning - through both success and failure - and rewarded for taking on more near-term risk.
  • These contrast with Enterprise 2.0 tools that mostly focus on collaboration within the enterprise. Enterprise 3.0 will eventually fuel the definition and deployment of new IT architectures designed to foster long-term, trust-based relationships across thousands of independent institutions--rather than short-term, narrowly defined transactions executed largely within a single institution.
