We often use the term Cycle-of-Courtesy for describing a reciprocal process within social media. In this talk TED’s Chris Anderson shares his thoughts for how web video is creating and inspiring the ideal conditions for innovation.
These conditions create intense levels of understanding and connection. Advantages grow from collective ideas, not individual agendas, or predetermined direction.
Chris Anderson “Web video is driving Crowd Accelerated Innovation”
Original and inventive ideas come to life, they are set into motion via a Cycle-Of-Courtesy. The benefits of these powerful ideas and connections is still, yet to be discovered. But, we do know that it remains important not to disrupt the natural process of discovery and sharing. Within collective innovation, this natural process establishes the intention of ideas and a course for innovation.
“A new Cycle-of-Courtesy has developed; where people, compelled to share ideas and experiences with others, has become a common and expected task. It’s as if they feel it’s their duty…informing others is simply a natural part of the reciprocal process”
