Hello everybody, We have many working groups here including those in open sustainability, design, data, spending, and more.
Do you think it will be make Open Knowledge better if we had a separate working group on *Open Innovation*? After all, innovation is a buzz word in today's world in all fields. Disruption, Democratization, Demonetization happening all over places. Open Innovation is in line with Open Knowledge's vision of *enabling people to work together to tackle local and global challenges*. Innovation, though cross-cutting by definition, is a powerful concept on its own. Innovations happen everywhere in multiple forms, and this may make a case that innovation will be covered in all other groups separately. However, a very interesting thing is that numerous innovations follow similar patterns. Process of innovation (mostly) begins with problems, happens with thinking out of the box or thinking of different boxes entirely, and making the thoughts real and seeing magic happen (not to forget the hard parts like persevering, critical thinking). Let's discuss whether having a separate working group will help the cause of Open Knowledge better and whether we really need a new working group in Open Innovation.
