Changemakers
Change?
Finding new solutions
Confrontation & collaboration
Everything started with one person, one blog, one #hashtag
then early followers gathered
The first follower is what transforms a
lone nut into a leader
DEREK SIVERS
then more people got involved and met in real life
then we picked a cool name
we had (international) confrontation in real life
Paris, 1st OuiShare Summit
human interactions started to be again part of the picture
…an open, global, distributed community of passionate people (entrepreneurs, designers, makers, researchers, public officials, citizens and many others) working to accelerate the shift toward a more collaborative economy
a shared mission encompassing our points of view
Openness Transparency Independence Impact MeetPople InRealLife Action PermanentBeta Feedback Inclusion Play
a value manifesto?
…more confrontation in real life
Rome, 2nd OuiShare Summit
Paris, OuiShare Fest, 2nd-4th May
at the end we became stewards of a movement

ouishare today
How (the hell) we did it
Stigmergy Individual autonomy and
freedom to create regardless of acceptance or rejection by
the group.
Hierarchical group
controlled by an individual
Consensus individuals
controlled by the group
Empowerment vs. Control:
just f*****g do it
Barcelona, 3rd OuiShare Summit
Challenge: building an inclusive, sustainable organization
Bruxelles, 4th OuiShare Summit
OBJECTIVES: define the legal structure, validate open governance, value accounting & compensation schema Building a new model for collaborative value making
That’s what we learnt about change
Change is about connecting
OuiShare Connectors
Change is P2P
Change becomes exponential when you
do that impact
Changemaking is about leveraging
networks and
communities
is about Purpose and
Contributions, not (only) budgets

5 Pillars
Find your North
Star
Be loyal to a shared mission
(in permanent beta) Today’s newbies
are more than yesterday’s core
members
Push for transparency
and clarity
Full disclosure and understanding of processes is key
Clarity enables participation and
help overcome exploitation
concerns
Seek equity and
solidarity
Bonds grow in equity and peer to peer
solidarity You must create something more
than a work relationship
Enable distributed leadership
A do-first attitude
Top-bottom management should leave room to
consensus and self directed actions,
independence & emancipation
Build on Trust and
Reputation
Relations drive initiative
Trust and reputation are key enablers of a distributed
and collaborative decision making
process: leaders emerge if organizations
run on trust
