Thu, 2 Oct 2008 10:35:08 +0200 http://www.innerzine.com/innovation/open-innovation http://www.innerzine.com/innovation/open-innovation The expression “Open Innovation” could sometimes be utilized in a very subjective manner, therefore, measuring its extent of enforcement in one organization compared to another is quite tough. Nevertheless, Open Innovation does have a less subjective approach in definition by Henry Chesbrough. It is the organization’s skill and capacity in utilizing “purposive outflows and inflows of information to speed up internal innovation, and stretches and extends the markets for external usage of innovation, respectively.” One of Chesbrough’s main open innovation collaborators, Joel West reiterates it as “utilizing the market instead of internal hierarchies commercialize and source out innovations.” For example, in the work at one of the firms which provides software methods and tools to technologies products based companies where my friend used to work, with technologies-products corporations which have carried out “Open Innovation” or “Connect and Develop” operations, they find a number of major best and effective practices in place which suits and support Chesbrough’s model and definition.

According to the guidelines about the best locations on this Chinese system, it clearly declares that you must not have your office or workstation in your bedroom so set aside those PCs and try to replace it with the best feng shui position. Mon, 15 Sep 2008 09:33:32 +0200 http://www.innerzine.com/innovation/innovation http://www.innerzine.com/innovation/innovation When we talk about innovation, you may reply—who needs people? Chances are that you, me and all of us do! Innovation can be viewed as a “soft” science difficult to define and hard to measure. While other business functions like manufacturing, finance and purchasing are seem more established and well, “concrete” hence they are easier to define. Finance, purchasing and manufacturing are conventional and recognized business functions with responsibilities and hierarchies. On the other hand, if we talk about innovation, the certain operations, metrics and measurements are less apparent. Few firms and business companies have metrics around innovation or processes and systems to support invention, and few have an “innovation department or unit”.

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 09:47:23 +0200 http://www.innerzine.com/innovation/invent http://www.innerzine.com/innovation/invent My friend is a speaker and she told me that so many years ago, when she was speaking for a group, the director started to ask her how she came about speaking on the topics or issues she did and how did she particularly define that.

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 09:50:05 +0200 http://www.innerzine.com/innovation/innovate http://www.innerzine.com/innovation/innovate If I am about to make an educated guess, I think I will find many professionals around the world who considered themselves “should have” experts or gurus. As in, “I should have done that.” As my friend Calyx, a Global Client Communicator Mentor told me, that he always hears this message form clients almost all the time. Self employed professionals think and feel that they have to copy or imitate what their competitors are doing; they think that they have to be doing the similar thing. Well, after all, they need to keep up with the competition/race, right? Hmmm…not exactly. Mon, 30 Jun 2008 07:07:27 +0200 http://www.innerzine.com/innovation/innovative http://www.innerzine.com/innovation/innovative Soren Kierkegaard once said that prayer does not change God but it changes him who prays. As Kierkegaard points this out, the innovation strategy is not what changes, it is we who activate and spread out the strategy to enlighten, encourage, engage, energize, empower and extend all our efforts to attain its end results that would change. In innovative leadership, it needs actual ways to define, describe and visualize the organizational strategy model in order to realize success in innovation. Nowadays more than ever, innovative leaders should not fall into the trappings of the traditional behaviors in leadership. When making the effort to graphically represent or model your innovation strategy, the innovative team members in leadership and your partners are sanctioned and authorized to test the strategy they can expand and extend it to its limits, they could experiment with it and better communicate its potential to others. Tue, 17 Jun 2008 12:51:41 +0200 http://www.innerzine.com/innovation/workforce-innovation http://www.innerzine.com/innovation/workforce-innovation There seems to be a perception that the reason of our incentive, performance measurement and ownership problems and difficulties lie in what we do to the workforce. Experience tells us that the difficulties and obstacles are not because of what we ‘do’ to the staff, they are simply caused by the mindset which believes that as managers we could manipulate and dictate the staff to ‘do’ what we want. This mindset or kind of thinking is often the basis of failure. If what we are doing now to the workforce is not working well, then we have to change what we ‘do’ to the staff.

Nothing beats more than having a restful, forty winks and having to wake up feeling fully energized and ready to face another day. There are some critical factors in having a sound sleep. It may be because of lifestyles, work shifts, daily habits and health conditions. Generally, people that snore have much more difficulty sleeping as opposed to people who do not snore.
