Episode Synopsis

Lucie and David discuss the principle Open by Default:”This principle affects both the inputs and output of the company. It implies the need for a justification not to ‘go open’ as the default is to be open. In particular when a valid justification exists then no negative judgement is given to being ‘closed’.”
They emphasise the default stance of openness in both inputs and outputs unless there are compelling reasons to be closed. David explains that being open by default does not mean everything must be open, but rather that the default should be openness unless justified otherwise.
