Cultures of Openness
Openness is an overarching concept or philosophy that is characterized by an emphasis on transparency and free, unrestricted access to knowledge and informaSon, as well as collaboraSve or cooperaSve management and decision-‐making rather than a central authority. Openness can be said to be the opposite of secrecy.
