This systemic shutdown requires a new paradigm for economic production, one that has been incubating in the minds of lead innovators for several years now and is just beginning to get recognized as the next model for the burgeoning new economy. The new model is the Open Collaboration Paradigm. This graphic provides a schematic representation to show how deeply the shift will go: In a global economy based on open collaboration, we will see a radical departure from old institutional models.
