OPEN: How we'll work, live and learn in the future
What makes a global corporation give away its prized intellectual property? Why are Ivy League universities allowing anyone to take their courses for free? What drives a farmer in rural Africa to share his secrets with his competitors?

A collection of hactivists, hobbyists, forum-users and maverick leaders are leading a quiet but unstoppable revolution. They are sharing everything they know, and turning knowledge into action in ways that were unimaginable even a decade ago. Driven by technology, and shaped by common values, going ‘open’ has transformed the way we live. It’s not so much a question of if our workplaces, schools and colleges go open, but when.

Packed with illustration and advice, this entertaining read by learning futurist, David Price, argues that ‘open’ is not only affecting how we are choosing to live, but that it’s going to be the difference between success and failure in the future.

About the Author

David Price was born in Jarrow, in the North-East of England. He left school at 16, to become the worst civil servant in the history of the civil service. A career in music saved him from further humiliation. For 15 years he played and wrote music. When that fell apart, his carefully crafted career plan took him to college, and from there he began a career in learning, initially helping adults to be creative through the arts, and then to a managerial position in a community college in Manchester.

In 2000 he became a freelance consultant working with leaders of learning in formal and informal learning - at work and in education. After leading a number of successful national education projects, he was made an Officer of the British Empire, in 2009, by Her Majesty The Queen.His non-writing work involves speaking and consulting, around the world.

OPEN is his first book, though he has contributed many chapters in other people's books previously. He also keeps a blog at engagedlearning.co.uk
