To me, this is not an information age. It's an age of networked intelligence, it's an age of vast promise.

In an age where everything and everyone is linked through networks of glass and air, no one - no business, organization, government agency, country - is an island. We need to do right by all our stakeholders, and that's how you create value for shareholders. And one thing is for sure - no organization can succeed in a world that is failing.

Collaboration is important not just because it's a better way to learn. The spirit of collaboration is penetrating every institution and all of our lives. So learning to collaborate is part of equipping yourself for effectiveness, problem solving, innovation and life-long learning in an ever-changing networked economy.

Business cannot succeed in a world that is failing.

Leadership is happening, but it's not coming from the leaders of the old institutions. Everywhere you look, you see these extraordinary, sparkling new initiatives that are under way.

These kids [of the current generation] have no fear of technology ... sort of like I have no fear of a refrigerator.

Peering succeeds because it leverages self-organization—a style of production that works more effectively than hierarchical management for certain tasks.
