TIS Weekly (#79): The Collaborative Economy: Holistic Ideal Or Business Model?
[December 11th, 2016]
Interesting discussion: jump on the sharing train for commercial benefit (Uber, Airbnb) OR to make the world a little bit better? Shareable founder Neal Gorenflo tells us not to judge how people/companies implement the collaborative economy, but compliment them that they’re moving in the right direction. This week we’ll show you two influencers and another great example of the Sharing Economy.

The sharing transformation
Neal Gorenflo has founded the online platform Shareable to support the sharing movement. In this interview he discusses the importance of city over country, idealists vs practical people, his personal interest and ‘experiments’ with sharing. “Sharing is a means to an end. And by end I mean a better quality of life.”

The new currency is trust
“The critical ingredients of any sharing platform? Trust and efficiency.” In this TED talk Rachel Botsman, authority on the sharing economy, discusses how (online) reputation is your most valuable asset, the transformation of supply & demand and how the collaborative economy has enabled share + want in different ways.

Human capital
The platform Simbi is a good example that the sharing economy is not just about products. Cars, tools and houses are no good here. The website focuses on human capital — skills!
