Cognitive surplus does need to be tapped in a greater way but not all of it for sure.. everyone needs a break. Implementation of Clay's idea would actually be quite a mammoth task though. It involves changing people's life and much more. I'm just not sure how feasible and doable. Mark, can’t agree with you more.

This cognitive surplus (Clay Shirky's phrase) needs to be put to much better use by most all orgs. If it was used, the benefits could be enormous. Why have bored, negative staff when you can have engaged people? “collaborative, supportive and transparent” — yup, that’s good.
