Bold and Open Ways of Building Trusted Organizations and Communities - Interview with Jaime Arredondo - EP 38

What are assets that you have within your organization that external communities would be interested in having access to and even contributing in a way that adds value? What would it look like to take the bold step to open these assets up to the outside world?

These are questions Jaime Arredondo explores with public and private organizations of all sizes to multiply the impacts of their efforts and investments by creating innovation communities and open source business models. An international writer, coach, and entrepreneur, Jaime also publishes a newsletter where he shares practical insights to help leaders build bold, open, and community-driven organizations.

We had the opportunity to connect with Jaime to chat about the possibilities bold and open projects and business models provide to build trust at scale, create exponential potential, develop leaders, and even bring renewed value to assets that may be collecting dust within the walls of your organization.

From Patagonia opening up its supply chain, to Wikipedia, to new ways of thinking about patents, and more, Jaime shared broad ways to think about open source that go far beyond tech and software.

If you’re curious about fresh ways to think about community, collaboration, and scaling trust, you’ll definitely want to listen to this episode of the In Trust podcast.
