What I Learned: Social Computing Drives Innovation

I made the following observations:
Collaboration - Working and sharing ideas with people you already know
Social Networking in PLM - Discovering new people and ideas that can further your product innovation and engineering efforts
In short, the difference is about discovery
I tried to make the point that “discovery” in product innovation, product development, and engineering was the new value that can be tapped into with social computing.

What I Learned: Idea Management as a Software Ecosystem

I have always felt that there is more to idea management than “managing ideas.” That isn’t to say that simply managing ideas - including capturing them, categorizing them, and making them easy to retrieve is not important. What I am finding is that there are also solutions that:
Filter and group ideas
Prioritize and rank ideas
Collaborate on ideas
Before Managing IdeasAnd of course in order to manage ideas, you have to have some. This is where some really creative solutions are popping up (or at least popping onto my radar screen). There are solutions that:
Stimulate the submission of ideas
Target and focus ideas on specific topics
Provide a marketplace for those with ideas to meet those searching for them
Account for rewards and recognition for ideas / innovation
Ideas and Social Computing

Enterprise 2.0 Adoption Study Good Sign for Social Computing in PLM - PLM and Profitability | Blog on Manufacturing Business Technology

o what does this mean for manufacturers? As much as I would love to jump to the conclusion that social computing is booming, I interpret this differently. I see this as:

Manufacturers are very interested in social computing
The early adopters are hard at work figuring it out
Progress has been cautious (for the most part)

My beliefs on how manufacturers will adopt social computing in product development has not changed:

Most manufacturers will start with the low-hanging fruit of improving collaboration, and most will start internally
Manufacturers will be more likely to adopt social computing techniques when they are incorporated into applications they trust such as PLM, which will protect their intellectual property (IP)
There will be significant value gained by those manufacturers that adopt social computing to improve product innovation, product development, and engineering performance
