Innovation was once the work of an individual. Now - from weblogs to mountain bikes - we are inventing the things we want to use. The same spirit is at work in politics. As formal top-down politics has become more professionalised, so grassroots political campaigns by both professional and amateur activists have sprung up.
Technology for design, prototyping and experimentation that was once the preserve of professionals is now getting cheaper and easier to use. Thanks to the internet, users can easily get together to share their ideas. User-led innovation speaks to the democratic and creative ethos of the times. People want a voice.
If only 1 per cent of the one million players of a computer game generate new ideas, the game has a developer workforce of 10,000 people. What would it take for us to redesign education policy so that 1 per cent of the millions of children in British schools saw themselves as co-developers of learning, doing for education what many willingly do for computer games?
