CollaborationIt is a profoundly new approach to orchestrate capability to innovate, create goods and services, and solve problems. It leads to collaborative innovation and is now an essential skill, as important as budgeting, R&D, and planning.

OpennessIt is not simply an obligation to report information to an external party like a regulator or an institutional investor; it’s a new competitive force and an essential precondition for building productive relationships with potential collaborators.

SharingSharing is about the releasing or handing over of assets – by placing them in “the commons” for others to use or by sharing them with interested users under agreements that may generate license revenue. It is not limited to patents and copyrights, nor is it con$ned to business instead it is rede$ning the public space and goods in an increasingly crowded and interdependent world.

Integrity"e three values – honesty, consideration and accountability – together with transparency are the foundation of trust and integrity. It helps public and private enterprises to become more integrated with the societies they serve, more attuned to social and environmental concerns, and better equipped to develop pragmatic and pro$table solutions for advancing the common good.

InterdependenceInterdependence of actions and events means we have no option than to try to encourage and enforce mutual cooperation through a new division of labor among the four key pillars of society: business, government, the civic sector, and a new pillar enabled by the Internet- the individual citizen.
