What does open development mean to you?
2 likes2,085 views
The document explores different perspectives on what open development means. It shares quotes from over a dozen individuals working in international development who define open development as: fostering cooperation over competition to create a better future; enabling intended beneficiaries to author development activities; developing capabilities through transparent and collaborative mutual learning; and more. The quotes illustrate that while open development means different things, common themes include transparency, participation, challenging closed decision-making, and providing access to information.

De liddo seminar-oct2021-finAnna De Liddo Democratic Reflection and other contested collective intelligence tools aim to harness technology to enable people to build consensus even when they disagree. These tools use techniques like crowdsourcing and natural language processing to analyze online conversations, identify points of agreement, and generate visualizations to help people reflect on different perspectives. Trials of these tools showed they can improve critical thinking, challenge assumptions, and potentially bridge political and social divides. The tools are being used to facilitate collaboration and evidence-based discussions among groups addressing complex issues like public policy, education, and building peace in places affected by conflict.

08 27 - mnr book - final (web)carrie mclaren This document is a foreword for the report "Making A New Reality" which examines emerging media like VR and AR. The foreword argues that now is the time for social justice funders to engage with emerging media for several reasons: immersive media is in its early stages so inclusion can be built in from the start, it has the potential to powerfully shape narratives and worldviews, and traditional media models risk repeating problems of limited diversity and inclusion. The foreword urges funders to support research, artist experimentation, and community storytelling in emerging media to help ensure equity and social justice are core values as the field develops.
What is Digital Culture?

Language for Transition, WIAD 2018 Utrecht
Language for Transition, WIAD 2018 UtrechtKoen Peters What are the language skills of UX designers today? Language and conversations are at the heart of our current design practice. There is the growing importance of voice UIs and AI in the form of voice assistants (and the growing need for dialogue designers). The design process nowadays is all about co-creation and facilitating conversation between stakeholders. Language is also crucial when you try to bring about change in a system or organisation. An organisation is its language. You cannot innovate an organisation if you stick to its current language. During this talk, I will link the subject of language and conversation to the systemic design toolkit we have developed at Namahn in the past two years, and more specifically to the tool 'transition by design'. What role does language play in the transition of an organisation towards a new way of working?
Co-creating the User Experience
Co-creating the User ExperienceKshitiz Anand The document discusses the evolving nature of user experience design and co-creation. It notes that experiences are now designed in real-time across multiple devices and platforms, and that social sharing of experiences is common. This has increased the complexity of user experience design. The document advocates for an approach of co-creation where designers, users, and other stakeholders collaborate throughout the design process. It also discusses some challenges of co-creation such as maintaining simplicity and objectivity.
Design and politics understanding global resiliency
Design and politics understanding global resiliencyThe Rockefeller Foundation Rebuild by Design has established a small global working group on the design and politics of resiliency. This group is looking at—and assisting in shaping—how cities and regions around the world incorporate design into resiliency approaches, initiatives, and policy. Its first collective task is a collection of essays addressing two questions: First, identifying how design thinking is being incorporated and translated into political processes and understanding the obstacles that prevent design insights from informing policy practices. Second, collecting ideas for improving these processes, so that design and politics might be better integrated.
This initial group will form the core of a larger network that we aim to build over the long run. Meanwhile, are engaging directly with existing programs and initiatives. We will not duplicate efforts, but instead use this global working group to ignite broader discussions and further collaborations.

Dialogue as Participatory Design
Dialogue as Participatory Design Peter Jones What do we mean by dialogue? Certainly it is more than conscious speaking and attentive listening in a group. Indeed, when participating in a real dialogue we recognize and understand the depth and value of the experience, but may find it impossible to call it up on demand. We know dialogue is much more than method, and does not lend itself to methodological practices. But perhaps it can play a more meaningful role in design practice, in particular for design situations where stakeholders must have a voice in and play an active role in the deployment of designed solutions.

Introduction to Open Development
Introduction to Open Developmentpelleaardema Nowadays data matters so much that some organisations working in the development sector have made data their main ‘service’. This is the case of the UN Global PulseLabs aimed to analyse big data to accelerate social innovation for sustainable development; or the Akvo foundation focused on developing open source tools used by hundreds of organisations throughout the world to manage data and information in areas such as water, sanitation, health, education, agriculture, conservation and economic development.
How do international development actors deal with this enormous amount of data? How do they make data and information meaningful for the groups they want to empower? How do they use data to improve transparent and accountable decision-making process? And, last but not least, how may they increase the quality and effectiveness of development interventions starting from data?
Source: http://www.ong2zero.org/en/blog/corsi/free-webinar-open-data-for-development-4-june-2015/
Guided by Pelle Aardema from the Open for change initiative, we will investigate the meaning of expressions such as open data for development and open development. Special attention will be dedicated to the IATI standard, a framework for publishing information on development cooperation activities in a timely, comprehensive and forward-looking manner.
Syria Tracker: Crowdsourcing Crisis Information
Syria Tracker: Crowdsourcing Crisis InformationHumanitarian Tracker Syrian activists, Arab and international human rights organizations and journalists have been collecting information to document crimes committed by the Syrian security forces against Syrian citizens. YouTube videos, reports by Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO), demanded of the United Nations (UN), interview transcripts, and news reports: all such sources of information exist independently, left unorganized and thus unable to make an optimal impact on advocacy for an international response to the crisis in Syria. This website, Syria Tracker, was developed to leverage information that is produced by citizen reporters and in collaboration with a variety of entities and made publicly available in disparate locations to produce a free centralized source of information. Hereinafter, we refer to this method of harnessing labor and information contributed by a large group of people as opposed to an employee or an expert contractor as crowdsourcing.

Mobile innovation Kenya
Mobile innovation KenyaJim Heil Mobile money services have greatly expanded access to financial services in Kenya. M-Pesa, launched in 2007, allows users to store and transfer money via mobile phones. It now has over 17 million users, more than Western Union globally. M-Pesa led to the creation of mobile banking like M-Kesho. Crowdfunding apps and other mobile startups are creating opportunities. The government aims to achieve complete financial inclusion through initiatives that expand infrastructure like its new undersea fiber optic cable. Mobile innovations have helped lift many Kenyans out of poverty and driven progress towards the country's 2030 development goals.

Applying Utaut and Innovation Diffusion Theory to Understand the Rapid Adopti...Editor IJCATR M-PESA, the world-leading mobile money system has transformed lives and livelihoods in Kenya and beyond. Financial
inclusion for the marginalized in emerging markets is now feasible and achievable. Mobile money promises a more scalable and
cheaper alternative to the large unbanked populace than conventional banking. In the recent years, Sub-Saharan Africa has rolled out a
number of practical technology-driven innovative products leading to more and more cashless transactions. One such product is MPESA;
a mobile-based financial innovation that has achieved unprecedented growth since its inception in March 2007 by the mobile
network operator, Safaricom. In spite of its tantalizing potential, one major challenge is how to optimally capture the market. This
paper analyses the M-PESA ecosystem, by building theoretical linkages between two main theories; i) Innovation Diffusion Theory
and ii) Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology. The questions the author is addressing are: Which factors are
responsible for M-PESA’s rapid adoption? How does Safaricom maintain its strong grip as a Mobile Network Operator in the financial
sector?
Safaricom
SafaricomWasim Khalil PMP®,PRINCE2P®,ITIL® This document discusses Safaricom, a leading telecommunications operator in Kenya, and its pioneering of M-Pesa, the first commercial mobile money transfer service globally. It provides background on mobile payment services and how M-Pesa allows users to deposit, send, and withdraw money from their mobile phones. The document also covers market trends, with the number of mobile payment users growing from 160 million in 2011 to a projected 450 million in 2017, and transaction values increasing from $106 billion to an estimated $725 billion in that same period. It addresses opportunities and constraints for mobile money providers in both developed and developing markets.

Making a difference by Doing One Less Thing
Making a difference by Doing One Less ThingAndrew Rixon In today’s busy world, the focus appears to be on more and more doing. More mandates, regulations, guidelines and procedures. To make things worse, providing opportunities to help adults and children learn sustainable practices to living may be severely limited by the current paradigm of education – based on telling. This current state raises the key question of how can we work towards building relationships and truly empowering people to learn how to integrate sustainable practice into their day to day lives?
Sustainability Victoria's purpose is to show the way to using our resources more efficiently and reducing our everyday environmental impacts. As part of their ResourceSmart Education programs Sustainability Victoria is facilitating a growing Community of Practice that is working together to continuously improve Education for Sustainability (EfS) in Victorian communities.
The key methodology being used across this growing Community of Practice is an approach known as Open Space Technology which has at its heart the principle of “doing one less thing”, an approach that produces co-ordinated documented and action-oriented outcomes that participants themselves take responsibility for.
The presenters will share the story of how Open Space Technology has been applied to the Victorian EfS sector Community of Practice, the themes that have emerged, actions undertaken and reflections of Community of Practice members.
Participants will have the opportunity to learn how the 4 principles and one law of Open Space Technology enable people to participate in ways that are most meaningful to them.
Hecm512 assignment on participatory communication
Hecm512 assignment on participatory communicationDr. Shalini Pandey Participatory communication involves reciprocal collaboration and participation at all levels of decision making. It stresses starting with the community level to discuss living conditions and interactions. The most advanced form is self-management where the community exercises full decision making power. Participatory communication broadens communication to include more interactive and dialogic ways of sharing information beyond one-way dissemination. When applied properly, it can facilitate empowerment and address situations in need of improvement.

Agile Design and Collaborative Creativity in Web of Things
Agile Design and Collaborative Creativity in Web of ThingsMartin Mahaux The document discusses agile design and collaborative creativity for socio-technical systems like the Web of Things. It argues that to drive sustainable innovation in these complex, fast-moving systems, an agile design approach is needed that incorporates collaboration through iterative experimental design with stakeholders. Creativity is defined as something that is both novel and useful. The document also discusses the role of participation, noting that it can lead to more sustainability if certain obstacles are mitigated, as it empowers people and revives democracy by opening up solution spaces to more viewpoints and concerns. However, it may be restricted to elites unless specific facilitation is provided, and individualism or tensions between amateurs and experts could still undermine participation's benefits.

Eldis 20th Anniversary Workshop 2016: Neil Pakenham-Walsh and Ivan KulisIDS Knowledge Services Communities of practice have the potential to greatly contribute to international development by increasing inclusiveness, value, and collaboration. However, there are still challenges to overcome. First, while connectivity is growing, true inclusiveness requires addressing psychological and technical barriers. Second, demonstrating clear value for participants, organizations, and sustainable development goals is difficult due to a lack of management skills and evidence of impact. Third, the current fragmented ecosystem of communities of practice results in duplication and overlap, making collaboration challenging. To realize the potential of communities of practice will require supporting their efforts to be more inclusive, valuable, and collaborative, as well as providing an enabling environment for them to thrive.

Supercharge Your AI Development with Local LLMs
Supercharge Your AI Development with Local LLMsFrancesco Corti In today's AI development landscape, developers face significant challenges when building applications that leverage powerful large language models (LLMs) through SaaS platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and others. While these services offer impressive capabilities, they come with substantial costs that can quickly escalate especially during the development lifecycle. Additionally, the inherent latency of web-based APIs creates frustrating bottlenecks during the critical testing and iteration phases of development, slowing down innovation and frustrating developers.
This talk will introduce the transformative approach of integrating local LLMs directly into their development environments. By bringing these models closer to where the code lives, developers can dramatically accelerate development lifecycles while maintaining complete control over model selection and configuration. This methodology effectively reduces costs to zero by eliminating dependency on pay-per-use SaaS services, while opening new possibilities for comprehensive integration testing, rapid prototyping, and specialized use cases.

Protecting Your Sensitive Data with Microsoft Purview - IRMS 2025
Protecting Your Sensitive Data with Microsoft Purview - IRMS 2025Nikki Chapple Session | Protecting Your Sensitive Data with Microsoft Purview: Practical Information Protection and DLP Strategies
Presenter | Nikki Chapple (MVP| Principal Cloud Architect CloudWay) & Ryan John Murphy (Microsoft)
Event | IRMS Conference 2025
Format | Birmingham UK
Date | 18-20 May 2025
In this closing keynote session from the IRMS Conference 2025, Nikki Chapple and Ryan John Murphy deliver a compelling and practical guide to data protection, compliance, and information governance using Microsoft Purview. As organizations generate over 2 billion pieces of content daily in Microsoft 365, the need for robust data classification, sensitivity labeling, and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) has never been more urgent.
This session addresses the growing challenge of managing unstructured data, with 73% of sensitive content remaining undiscovered and unclassified. Using a mountaineering metaphor, the speakers introduce the “Secure by Default” blueprint—a four-phase maturity model designed to help organizations scale their data security journey with confidence, clarity, and control.
🔐 Key Topics and Microsoft 365 Security Features Covered:
Microsoft Purview Information Protection and DLP
Sensitivity labels, auto-labeling, and adaptive protection
Data discovery, classification, and content labeling
DLP for both labeled and unlabeled content
SharePoint Advanced Management for workspace governance
Microsoft 365 compliance center best practices
Real-world case study: reducing 42 sensitivity labels to 4 parent labels
Empowering users through training, change management, and adoption strategies
🧭 The Secure by Default Path – Microsoft Purview Maturity Model:
Foundational – Apply default sensitivity labels at content creation; train users to manage exceptions; implement DLP for labeled content.
Managed – Focus on crown jewel data; use client-side auto-labeling; apply DLP to unlabeled content; enable adaptive protection.
Optimized – Auto-label historical content; simulate and test policies; use advanced classifiers to identify sensitive data at scale.
Strategic – Conduct operational reviews; identify new labeling scenarios; implement workspace governance using SharePoint Advanced Management.
🎒 Top Takeaways for Information Management Professionals:
Start secure. Stay protected. Expand with purpose.
Simplify your sensitivity label taxonomy for better adoption.
Train your users—they are your first line of defense.
Don’t wait for perfection—start small and iterate fast.
Align your data protection strategy with business goals and regulatory requirements.
💡 Who Should Watch This Presentation?
This session is ideal for compliance officers, IT administrators, records managers, data protection officers (DPOs), security architects, and Microsoft 365 governance leads. Whether you're in the public sector, financial services, healthcare, or education.

- 3. “ Open Development is a Freedom Song Open Development is about people co-creating according to their own design, the spaces, ways and means that will evolve humanity into experiencing more life, liberty and happiness through the connecting ” power of ICT. Ineke Buskens, GRACE Project
- 4. “ To me open development means harnessing the power of sharing and cooperation over hoarding and competition to create a better future. Matthew L. Smith, IDRC ”
- 5. “ To me open development means means enabling the intended 'beneficiaries' of development (rather than technocrats) to be the authors, architects and artisans of any development activity. It is not an API. It is much more than a top-down technical fix of being technically open, and technically transparent. It requires commitment to a human process that is genuinely inclusive and ” collaborative and which leaves people better able than before, to independently identify and realise any development that they have reason to value. Tony Roberts
- 6. “ If we see development as the capability to sustain and improve a life in dignity in a changing socio-economic context, then open development means to develop these capabilities in a transparent and collaborative process of mutual learning. Steps towards open development that can be taken by organizations working in development cooperation include: publishing of project evaluations of all successful and failed projects in open formats, open publication of budgets and donors, and publication of all gathered and generated data that might benefit others in open formats (except private data of individuals). René Herlitz, Digital Unite ”
- 7. “ To me, open development is about informing the masses openly about the efforts of the development community to eradicate world poverty, and thus increasing donations and support for development aid. Anna Härri Intern at Pro Ethical Trade Finland ”
- 8. “ To me Open Development means being honest when showing the whole picture. Being able to show all development projects and admit that development projects can fail, even when that is not the desired outcome. Being able to see who is working in a specific zone, no matter which organization belongs to. Being able as a citizen of the world to get an understanding of how aid and international ” development is affecting a particular zone. Ruth del Campo Director of Open Aid Register www.openaidregister.org
- 9. “ Open development is a process Open development is about providing access to information, and permission to participate Open development is about challenging closed and distant decision making on development issues Open development should sit alongside inclusive development, providing foundations for greater inclusion Open development is more than just using open data for development, or taking open source ” to developing countries Open development is still open to debate Tim Davies
- 10. “ Open development means different things to different people. Getting access to information in provincial Africa is vastly different than in the global north where we are talking about IATI and aid data sets. Information is more than data, it emerges from social process; relevant and useful information often comes as metaphor and story. Stories that can be shared and debated. More stories told by more people, more debate and more involvement in a discussion about what development IS, this is open development. Janet Gunter Consultant, blogger, activist ”
- 11. “ There are different aspects of openness in development: 1. Increasing transparency and reducing friction – making use of technology to make it easier to share development related information and knowledge in a standard way so it can be easily assessed, compared, mashed up, acted upon by anyone. 2. Participation – using technology (and building upon transparency) to give people a voice and to change existing power structures, and decision-making processes. Openness in development is more of a journey than a destination i.e. new technologies and shifts in power structures will I hope make development more and more open - but there will ” probably never be a time when we can say that it is totally open and that there is no more work to be done. Ian UN aid worker, knowledge manager and blogger
- 12. “ For me, open development means thinking about the word 'development' differently. It means that development happens everywhere, all the time, in many different ways, and that we are ALL complicit in the ongoing unfolding of development. Katherine Reilly ” Assistant Professor, School of Communication, Simon Fraser University
- 13. “ Over the last 10 years, the legitimacy and effectiveness of one-size-fits-all models of development and top-down models of governance has been challenged.This has been seen most recently in the demands of citizens on the streets of North Africa, the Middle East and beyond – and through social media – for more open, transparent and accountable governance. “Open Development” represents a new vision of what development means, how it comes about and the role that external partners can play. Open Development, ultimately, is about people in developing countries having the information ” and resources that they need to hold their governments accountable and to make well-informed decisions to improve their lives. ONE From http://one.org/c/us/issue/4299/
- 14. “ The Open Development approach is about supporting and creating an environment of sustainable information and knowledge sharing. Having a cultural environment that is supportive of open approaches leads to improved access to quality information and knowledge, and to more effective and coordinated development efforts. BELLANET, 2005 Open Development programme Shared by Michael Roberts, Acclar.org ”
- 15. “ Open development is the opening of development processes (of planning, implementation and monitoring) to all parties concerned (partners, beneficiaries, donors etc.) in a way that guarantees transparency, open participation and communication, integrity in the process of decision-making etc. It is about inviting the multiple knowledges concerned by micro or macro development initiatives to be aware of and have their say. It is thus strongly focused on empowerment along the participation scale (from open observation to open iterative decision-making - the ” latter being obviously a much better guarantee for sustainable 'open development'). Ewen Le Borgne Knowledge sharing & communication specialist, International Livestock Research Institute, Ethiopia
- 16. “ For me, Open is an attitude; a fundamental way of being. Individuals can be open starting with their body language, acceptance of others, collaboration, willingness to really hear ideas, ability to share and modify what they are doing and thinking, admitting mistakes and really feeling and demonstrating respect for others, no matter where they come from.These same attitudes can be applied to institutions and processes. Technology is sometimes an enabler of openness, but not always. Development workers/ organizations can learn from horizontal and networked structures and other attitudes and ” practices from the 'open' movement, and use tech and non-tech tools to help development become more open, horizontal, transparent and respectful of a broad range of persons, ideas and cultures.
