What’s happening
The “Participation and Collaboration Imperative”: Hubs and Networks that work
In the Knowledge Society, Mind matters. Because the source of Wealth comes from the knowledge and the creative talents of people. The central Challenge of the Industrial Age was Replicability and Efficiency. The central challenge for the Knowledge Age is Innovation and Learning. Fast.
The new world is based on new Value creation flows, cross-sector collaborations, Hubs and Networks are replacing Pyramids and silos. To be Fit for the Future, companies need to move from rigid to agile.
A new Art and Science of Collaboration is needed to get talented people to work creatively and effectively as teams and networks, cross-silos, cross-cultures, cross-disciplines and cross-sectors. This will lead to the creation of true new knowledge and value, thus true Collective Intelligence, versus the serious risk of Collective Stupidity.
Collective Creative Intelligence is needed.
Creating an innovation “Ecology”
It’s people who innovate, not companies!
The issue for any organization is to focus and motivate talented people at all levels to put their Minds on key issues and to initiate innovative solutions designed to improve (Incremental Innovation) and to Reinvent (Radical Innovation) processes.
Currently, many organisations are geared to excel or to keep doing “Things as Usual”. So, in most companies, teams mainly focus their time and energy on short-term, incremental and “correcting” measures while Revolutionary changes and fundamental Innovation are necessary to succeed in a new Business Paradigm.
This may create feelings of despair and fatalization.
What we do
Focus and liberate Innovation forces to build a core capacity to Innovate
Our systemic approach is designed to tap on the Imagination, Intelligence, Courage and Motivation of your teams.
Real Innovation happens within a context: an Innovation Ecology. Just as Basket-Ball teams need Basket-Ball courts to practice regularly and develop their collective abilities, Innovation requires daily practice “on the court” by your teams to become a core competence.
We help you turn your whole organization – or selected parts of it – into organized and meaningful practice fields for Innovation; “safe spaces for pertinent Creativity and Innovation”, fostering the joy of Creation and getting talented people to collaborate creatively and effectively as teams and networks.
Innovation in Action is Focus and Freedom working together for success by
- providing Innovation BioTops, focused, super-dynamic practice fields for Collaborative Innovation. They allow the practice of Focused Creativity and Innovation under real life conditions between people who must really generate results working together
- consciously creating the right strategic balance between ”Optimization” and “Innovation” to deliver a complete portfolio of innovation and create a permanent flow of competitive advantages on both curves.
This new Innovation Ecology allows to move
- From the Comfort zone to the Innovation zone
- From “more of the same” territories to “Imagination panoramas”
- From the “preservation of the Past” to the “invention of the Future”
- From old feelings such as fear and resistance to change to new feelings such as Trust and Enthusiasm
Results
- a core capacity to invent your Future while you manage your Present, at the required speed.
- a vibrant community of committed contributors
- a Fit-for-The-Future organization
