2. CREATING KNOWLEDGE
TO ADAPT
« In an economy where the only
certainty is uncertainty, the one
source of lasting competitive
advantage is knowledge »

3. FROM OPEN INNOVATION TO
DEMOCRATIZING INNOVATION
• ‘‘The presence of many smart people outside
your own company is not simply a problem for you
or a fact of life to be regretted. It poses an
opportunity for you’’.
Chesbrough H.W. (2003), Open Innovation: The New Imperative for Creating and Profiting from
Technology, Harvard Business Press.
• ‘‘Users’ ability to innovate is improving radically
and rapidly as a result of the steadily improving
quality of computer software and hardware,
improved access to easy-to-use tools and
components for innovation, and access to a
steadily richer innovation commons’’.
Hippel E. von (2005), Democratizing Innovation, MIT Press.

"[... ] daily life, in order to be relaxed
and fulfilling, must find its balance in
three realms of experience. One is
domestic, a second is gainful or
productive, and the third is inclusively
sociable, offering both the basis of
community and the celebration of it"
(p. 14).

A Neutral Ground
• "In order for the city and its neighborhoods to
offer the rich and varied association that is their
promise and potential, there must be neutral
ground upon which people may gather". (p. 22).
• "A place that is a leveler is, by its nature, an
inclusive place" (p. 24).
• "Neutral ground provides the place, and leveling
sets the stage for the cardinal an sustaining
activity of third places everywhere. That activity
is conversation" (p. 26).

The Regulars
• "The third place is just so much space unless the right people are
there to make it come alive, and they are the regulars" (p. 33).
• "Every regular was once a newcomer, and the acceptance of
newcomers is essential to the sustained vitality of the third place"
(p. 34).
• "Since public life in America is relatively devoid of those connecting
rituals that in other cultures serve to ensure the introductions of
strangers, the order of welcome is doubly important" (p. 35).
The Mood is Playful
• "Whether pronounced or low key, however, the playful spirit is of
utmost importance. Here joy and acceptance reign over anxiety and
alienation" (p. 38).
A Home Away From Home
• "Though a radically different kind of setting from the home, the third
place is remarkably similar to a good home in the psychological
comfort and support that it extends" (p. 42).

14. "MAVERICK" COMMUNITIES
‘‘This process of development is inherently
innovative. "Maverick" communities of this
sort offer the core of a large organization a
means and a model to examine the potential of
alternative views of organizational activity
through spontaneously occurring experiments
that are simultaneously informed and checked
by experience’’. (Brown & Duguid, 1991)
Brown J.S. & Duguid P. (1991), "Organizational learning and communities-of-practice: toward a unified
view of working, learning, and innovation", Organization Science, vol. 2, n°1, p.p. 40–57.

THE HACKER
CULTURE
‘‘[…] collaborators make technology
at the same time that they experiment
in the making of a social
commonwealth; it is there where the
hard work of freedom is practiced.’’
Coleman E.G. (2012), Coding Freedom: The Ethics and Aesthetics of Hacking,
Princeton University Press, p. 210.
19. HACKER PRAXIS
‘‘Hackers who are seen (and at times portray
themselves) as quintessentially individualistic
often live this individualism through
remarkably cooperative channels’’. (Coleman,
2012)
‘‘To manage the complexity of the
technological landscape, hackers turn to fellow
hackers (along with manuals, books, mailing
lists, documentation, and search engines) for
constant information, guidance, and help.’’
(Coleman, 2012)

OPEN ACCESS
CULTURE
‘‘Open access is the name of the
revolutionary kind of access these
authors, unencumbered by a motive of
financial gain, are free to provide to their
readers. Open access (OA) literature is
digital, online, free of charge, and free of
most copyright and licensing
restrictions’’. (Suber, 2012, p. 4)

FAB LAB CHARTER (MIT)
What is a fab lab?
• Fab labs are a global network of local labs, enabling invention by providing access to tools
for digital fabrication
What's in a fab lab?
• Fab labs share an evolving inventory of core capabilities to make (almost) anything,
allowing people and projects to be shared
What does the fab lab network provide?
• Operational, educational, technical, financial, and logistical assistance beyond what's
available within one lab
Who can use a fab lab?
• Fab labs are available as a community resource, offering open access for individuals as
well as scheduled access for programs
What are your responsibilities?
• safety: not hurting people or machines
• operations: assisting with cleaning, maintaining, and improving the lab
• knowledge: contributing to documentation and instruction
Who owns fab lab inventions?
• Designs and processes developed in fab labs can be protected and sold however an
inventor chooses, but should remain available for individuals to use and learn from
How can businesses use a fab lab?
• Commercial activities can be prototyped and incubated in a fab lab, but they must not
conflict with other uses, they should grow beyond rather than within the lab, and they are
expected to benefit the inventors, labs, and networks that contribute to their success

WHAT CAN WE LEARN? (1)
Producing = Sensemaking
• Aristotelian Philosophy: PRAXIS vs POIESIS
• POIESIS: activity to produce something
• PRAXIS: activity engaged for itself (to improve oneself) =>
‘bricolage’ / hacker culture
Community Building (collaboration)
• Inclusive Philosophy (the ‘Commons’) / ‘inclusive label’ (MIT
Charter)
• Concierge / Community Manager
• Political agenda
• New Management Practicies
Open Innovation
• ‘Neutral Ground’
• Partnerships with Universities
• Third Place as middleground
24. 24
WHAT CAN WE LEARN? (2)
Distributed innovation
• Community Organization
• Rise of Spaces for Creativity in the City
• Development of a Global Infrastructure for Coworkers, Mobile
Workers,Teleworkers, Makers in the city
• Design Thinking
• Civic Tech
Socialization at
the core
• ‘The Mood is Playful’
• ‘A Home Away From Home’
• Concierge / Community Manager
• Kitchen
• Culture of Discussion

WHAT CAN WE LEARN? (3)
New Place for Science and Creativity
• A Renewed Academic Presence in the City
• A More Distributed and ‘Experiential’ Logic (A New Epistemology
=> ‘bricolage’)
• New Methodologies (shared experience):
• Learning Expedition (knowledge co-creation)
• Documentation (collaborative documentation, live tweet, narration)
• Pedagogical Innovation (Simulation/Experience)
29. THE COMMONS
• ‘‘Commons is a general term that refers to a ressource shared by
a group of people. In a commons, the ressource can be small and
serve a tiny group (the family refrigerator), it can be a community-
level (sidewalks, playgrounds, libraries, and so on), or it can extend
to international and global levels (deep seas, the atmosphere, the
internet, and scientific knowledge). The commons can be well
bounded (a community park or library); transboundary (the Danube
River, migrating wildlife, the Internet); or without clear boundaries
(knowledge, the ozone layer).’’ Hess C. & Ostrom E. (2011), Understanding
Knowledge as a Commons: From Theory to Practice, MIT Press, pp. 4-5.
• The ressource becomes a commons when it is
managed.

"vertige épistémique »
Morin
In EUROPE
1874 - Quelques spécialistes se penchent sur la pierre de Rosette. Jean-François Champollion avait mis huit ans pour percer son secret. Il l'annonça à la communauté scientifique en 1822.
PRINCIPES :
Organiser le débat d’idées
Accepter erreur/critique
Se baser sur des faits/ des observations/ des hypothèses non infirmées
Transparence de l’élaboration des hypothèses
Le Journal des sçavans (de 1665 à 1790), devenu Le Journal des savans (de 1791 à 1830), puis Le Journal des savants, est le plus ancien périodique littéraire et scientifique d'Europe
La parution du premier numéro du Journal des sçavans suscita immédiatement l'intérêt des membres de la Royal Society de Londres. À peine trois mois plus tard, le 6 mars 1665, un journal similaire, mais consacré plus spécialement aux nouvelles observations et expérimentations scientifiques, fut lancé par Henry Oldenburg sous le titre Philosophical Transactions. Ce périodique, dont la publication n'a jamais été interrompue, servit de modèle à tous les journaux scientifiques ultérieurs en Europe. Il fut bientôt suivi en Italie par le Giornale de' letterati en 1668, puis en Allemagne par les Acta eruditorum Lipsiensium d'Otto Mencke en 1682.
Selon les attributs « exclusion » (bien privé vs bien public) et « privation » (rivalité) ; historiquement les commons n’existent que là où l’exclusion était difficile et la privation forte (poissons, prés communaux, etc.)
Selon des faisceaux de droits (droits d’accès et de prélèvement, droit de gérer, droit d’exclure, droit de céder ou de vendre)
Selon le mode de gouvernance organisant les faisceaux de droits (pour éviter free riding et organiser la durabilité du commun).
Comprendre cette notion de bien commun passe par un classement des biens économiques selon deux critères :
le critère d’exclusion (exclusion) rend compte du caractère privé ou public du bien à travers cette question : peut-on facilement ou non exclure certains individus de l’utilisation de ce bien ? (régime de propriété)
le critère de rivalité (rivalry) ou privation (subtractability) indiquent le degré de privation d’un bien en fonction de son usage selon la question : est-ce que l’utilisation personnelle d’un bien prive les autres de son usage ?
Exclusion (facile ou non)
Privation (forte ou faible)
La connaissance est un commons par extension = au début les commons n’était que là où l’exclusion était difficile et la privation forte (poissons)
