Open chords and power chords

Open chords are simple chords played on the guitar that leave a number of the strings open. The metaphor is useful as successful business innovation requires that all the people involved are

  1. aligned “in harmony” around the need to innovate and
  2. able to accept that good ideas can from anywhere - both in and outside of the organisation - an open source approach.

Power chords are used by rock bands the world over to add power and energy to a song, so the analogy is extended to cover the tools and approaches used by Open Chord in helping clients with business innovation.
