Setting Innovation Free

I was honoured and delighted when the Centre for International Governance Innovation ("CIGI") invited me last year to become a Senior Fellow.  It is a pleasure to work with this talented group of thinkers, including Deputy Director Dr. Bassem Awad, a wonderful scholar who shares my interests in intellectual property and innovation.  As my first project for CIGI, I have written Set Innovation Free, an essay discussing the emerging power of user, open, collaborative, and free innovation (sensu von Hippel).  Here is my essay.  Here is a cool video CIGI produced to accompany my essay:
