The “off” switch

Organisation

  • No agenda
  • No senior executive responsibility
  • Budget (other than R&D)
  • Lack of a platform

Culture

  • Fixed mindset
  • Need for control, strong hierarchies
  • Myopia
  • Strong internal focus

People

  • Innovation skills
  • Mistaken belief that you need “creatives”
  • Headspace

A maturity model for innovation

Unaware

  • Prevailing conditions do not

promote innovation. Little awareness exists.

Conscious

  • Aware of conditions impacting

innovation and starting to address them.

Functional

  • Enabling conditions are somewhat

patchy but momentum is being gained.

Promising

  • Conditions which support innovation

are usually effective. Benefits are being realised.

Leading

  • Conditions optimally

support innovation.

  • Strong benefits realised

A KM APPROACH

slide-31
SLIDE 31

KM routines for innovation

  • Prepared for I

– Pick up signals – Process that information

  • Managers share an

understanding of

– Innovation processes – Creation of structures etc

  • Strategic portfolio of I

projects

  • Mobilise tacit and

explicit K

  • Enable & manage the

K creation & deployment processes

  • D-R-N process

Process model

KM for innovation Discovery Search Capture Articulate Realisation Contextualise Apply Nurture Evaluate Support Re-innovate

Phases Routines

slide-33
SLIDE 33

Phase: Discovery

Generic routine Description Search The passive & active means by which potential knowledge sources are scanned for items of interest Capture The means by which knowledge search outcomes are internalised within the organisation Articulate The means by which captured knowledge is given clear expression

slide-34
SLIDE 34

Phase: Realisation

Generic routine Description Contextualise The means by which articulated knowledge is placed in particular

  • rganisational contexts

Apply The means by which contextualised knowledge is applied to organisational challenges

slide-35
SLIDE 35

Phase: Nurture

Generic routine Description Evaluate The means by which the efficacy of knowledge applications is assessed Support The means by which knowledge applications are sustained over time Re-innovate The means by which knowledge and experience are re-applied elsewhere within the organisation
