Michael Polanyi’s Republic of Science principle is a valuable guide that describes the way the scientific community ideally organizes itself so knowledge is generated and shared freely, leading to beneficial innovations. When scientists are free to work on problems that fit their abilities and interests and are well-informed about the work of others, they learn, adjust their efforts and make discoveries.
Just as science advances through the extension and application of general principles, improving our application of principles of human progress enables us to discover new approaches leading to continual innovation and transformation.
We are able to create superior value for others and ourselves when we apply these principles. Rather than settling for what we’ve done in the past or what others are doing, we constantly share knowledge and ideas, test hypotheses, experiment, identify and close gaps, challenge and adjust according to what works.
