TY - JOUR T1 - Keystone Off-The-Shelf JF - Open Source Business Resource Y1 - 2010 A1 - Tony Bailetti AB - In this article, we describe the Keystone Off-The-Shelf (KOTS), a project to create a toolkit for platform owners. The toolkit will include everything that is required to operate a platform that supports a new approach to grow the revenue of small technology companies. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the KOTS project and the new approach to development and commercialization that it supports. We first describe the project's goal, objective, deliverables, and leadership. Next, we compare the new approach to development and commercialization that KOTS supports with two traditional approaches. We then identify the culture that best supports the new approach and provide an overview of the three key conceptual building blocks of this approach: integration of stakeholders' interests into development and commercialization decisions, value co-creation, and trust building. Finally, we provide the conclusions.
