Peer production is a very social activity. All one needs is a computer, a network connection, and a bright spark of initiative and creativity to join in the economy.
These changes are ushering us toward a world where knowledge, power, and productive capability will be more dispersed than at any time in our history – a world where value creation will be fast, fluid, and persistently disruptive. A world where only the connected will survive. A power shift is underway, and a tough new business rule is emerging: Harness the new collaboration or perish. Those who fail to grasp this will find themselves ever more isolated – cut off from the networks that are sharing, adapting, and updating knowledge to create value.
We must collaborate or perish – across borders, cultures, disciplines, and firms, and increasingly with masses of people at one time.
This is a story of moving from abuse, crippling fear and low self-esteem to knowing the ultimate love of God. Author W. Veronica Lisare has discovered courage, joy, hope, freedom and fulfillment as she embraces her authentic identity as a daughter of the King of kings. She shares the intimate details of her journals from an unhappy childhood, through a loveless marriage, a divorce, the loss of a granddaughter and a battle with cancer to a rewarding nursing job and a second career as a minister of the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
