Change Papers: A shared effort to change North Carolina's climate for innovation.

How do we turn open source, creative thinking theory into practice? And how do we do it with speed, flexibility and confidence?

North Carolina is well positioned to benefit from two emerging trends: design thinking and open source.

So what kinds of ideas could the Council recommend that would really move things along, help develop NC’s innovation soil/ecosystem/infrastructure, build understanding and momentum?

We have three starter ideas that just might be the right size for a Council to get behind. They could set the stage for a bunch of other good things to happen, and could show people what an innovation-driven state would look, feel and act like.
