The collaborative value paradox
Still, we can’t measure the value we are creating today by conventional value
measurement systems. Then… is the way we measure value appropriate?
We need to solve the paradox that tremendous value is generated today by social
networking tools and wikis. But that does not translate immediately in value
in the Industrial Age sense: MONEY.
Only this new value measurement system will show that the value generated
today by social network tools is orders of magnitude larger than ever before.
Creativity accelerates. Our joint cognitive abilities create solutions to the
most impossible problems.
YOU.
