Surprisingly, the concept of working openly is new for some people. Maybe it’s because we were told at school to cover our work – don’t let others peek. Or maybe it’s the shame of failure dictates that we should only share perfect outcomes that progressed according to plan (which makes for a very boring story). I learn most from the openness of others – therefore my work should be open.

This Thinkery was captured live during a series of workshops by We Are Open, for Catalyst.
