I am sure some of us "don't care about no stinking theory", we are too busy doing.
Here is a link to the 23 minute interview that really resonated with me, so I thought I would share.
This morning I woke up to a BBC World Service program talking to Eric Von Hippel of MIT who was saying that users really are the innovators and lead change. Evidently he has been preaching about the difference between private/government and open collaborative groups for years. Interesting context for Moodle.

Very useful notions to discuss!
Apart from the Open Source model behind our favourite LMS, is there a specific aspect of the conversation which made you think about Moodle? Are learners the innovators whom we're providing with user-friendly toolkits?
Personally, I quite like the "coexistence" model, the one in which Madonna's copyright and the "mashup culture" are maintained, side-by-side, with the open version eventually winning out. Though I tend to be wary of the "invisible hand" theories, it does seem like openness is adaptive in many ways.
As for members of the anti-theory crowd, it'd be surprising if they were too dismissive. After all, the whole conversation was about very direct business outcomes from ideas about innovation. In fact, it sounded like a conversational version of a TED talk.
