5.1: Value
Demonstrate tangible value of new communication modes to both producers and consumers. Other Information:
What are the next steps? To be financially viable, new communication modes will need to demonstrate tangible value to both
producers and consumers. To be sustainable, the cost recovery streams will need to be aligned to perceived value. An additional
factor that should be taken into account is that there are at least three different market sectors to which new products and
services may be targeted: tools for producers (aka researchers), enhanced products for consumers (researchers again), and
reputation management (for individuals, institutions, and funding bodies). In Dagstuhl, the Force11 group started to work
on a more detailed business model, based on the Business Model Generation methodology [Osterwalder and Pigneur, 2010]. The
results of this work will be made available on the Force11 web site http://force11.org
