Transparency implies openness, communication, and accountability. In the science world, a "transparent" object is one which allows light to shine in on its internal characteristics. A lot of people fear transparency because of this ability to see the reasoning within. I believe an activity gains the ability to become a greater product when all of the information about it is open and freely available.
Think about it. If someone produces something that is openly available to be seen from all angles, yes it is also open to criticism. But aren't these criticisms actually, for the most part, designed to shed more light on the weakness of the initial product? Yes. And if these are accepted by the producer at face value rather than something to defend the eventual outcome is a greater product.
By removing the fear of criticism with the acceptance and invitation of it, the eventual outcomes have the possibility of greater benifit. Why wouldnt we want to be more transparent?
