Does that seem right? Only the knowledge workers have something to contribute in the emergent ethos that is social software? The reality is that knowledge workers have been participating while the rest of the company has been doing their own thing.

The catchphrase of Henry Chesbrough’s work on innovation (a doctrine called “open innovation” and described in Open Innovation, 2003, and Open Business Models, 2006), is “not all the smart people work for you.” The key operational message that corporations seem to take away from it though, is “buy and sell intellectual property vigorously and throw some money at universities.” Somewhere along the way unfortunately, a sophisticated reconstruction of the logic of innovation becomes reduced to quick-money recipes.

I use the chasm model to explain my professional work of 1) seeing what is ready to cross the chasm by 2) staying connected to the innovators & being an early adopter so that 3) I can help mainstream organizations. It’s a good graphic summary of my consulting practice.

What is Product Development 2.0 exactly? It's an informal term I'm applying to something that online startups and traditional businesses both are increasingly doing: leveraging of mass user contributions, providing open architectures for others to build on as they like, and even handing control over key product decisions directly to users. The reasoning behind doing this is simple: Satisfied customers have always been essential to having the most successful business, both online and offline. But how best can you ensure that they get exactly what they want from you, as customized and quickly as possible? This is where the scale, new tools, and business models of Web 2.0 have stepped in, giving us the potential to provide our customers with better, rich products, much more quickly, and with more of what they want. Taken as a whole, it's increasingly clear that there are new business models afoot that are just now being well understood.

So when the company says it’s missing out on good ideas, this is both surprising, and perhaps somewhat expected. Surprising, because how does a company consistently ranked at the top of innovation surveys miss good ideas? Expected, because Google now employs 20,000. With that many people, how does a company stay on top of all those ideas?

What I’m seeing is a company that is is progressively systematizing its innovation practice. Google is following the path of its large enterprise brethren, adapting its internal processes to account for its size and its need to grow across multiple fronts. It really has to. It’s no longer the small company where ideas get tossed around on a white board, and everyone knows what’s going on. I mean, there are 20,000 people employed there.

Google is getting serious about innovation.

I know what you’re asking: “How can you crowdsource your own company?” Well, in this case I’m referring to the fact that once a year, Disney (DIS) puts out a call for product ideas to its entire consumer products division of 12,532 employees, which includes Fashion & Home, Toys & Electronics, Food, Health & Beauty, Stationery and Publishing. That means sales, communications, and other non-inventing divisions get to participate. It’s what they call the “Big Idears” contest. For the first time, one of these ideas is coming to the mass market…

Undoubtedly Microsoft is pioneering the R&D 2.0 model that I discussed in my last post — an organizational model that relies on anthropologists and development economists to first decipher the socio-cultural needs of users in emerging markets like India and then use these deep insights to develop appropriate technology solutions. And it's telling that Microsoft picked India as the epicentre of its global R&D transformation.

hose ideas, however, don’t really come from nowhere. Instead, they are typically at the edge of a company’s radar screen, and sometimes a bit beyond: trends in peripheral industries, unserved needs in foreign markets, activities that aren’t part of the company’s core business. To be truly innovative, companies sometimes have to change their frames of reference, extend their search space. New ways of thinking and organization can be required as well.

However there are many barriers to innovation in large professional firms, including billing imperatives, strong functional specialization, and often highly risk-averse cultures. Much of the management literature on innovation focuses on product development and design, and is not always relevant to a professional services environment.

Value network analysis as applied to innovation from ideation to commercialization provides a possible solution to one of the most challenging business issues in the intangibles economy: describing exactly how intangible assets such as intellectual capital are converted into ideas and other deliverables deployed in purposeful networks to create economic or social value. The ability to visualize, analyze and optimize innovation networks is of great value to both government bodies responsible for regional development and for commercial businesses seeking to bring innovations to market. Specifically making the transition from one phase or "state" of the innovation network to another is often problematic. As additional roles come into play the nature of the interactions change across the entire network. Innovation networks are increasingly complex and relationships must be maintained in some cases for several years. Supporting the integrity and continuity of an innovation network is critical to success.

The next time someone tells you that you need lots of ideas, stop, think and work out the outcomes you want before you go collecting thousands, and thousands, and potentially more thousands of fluffy, non-relevant ideas that go nowhere.

The gist of Mark’s post is that encouraging the contribution of ideas from all quarters is actually counterproductive. He prescribes the concept of an “appropriate” number of ideas.

It's critical to have at least one person on your team who is a "power user" because, in the words of a wise IT leader I interviewed, "business groups who have somebody on their team who is an IT expert do much better with IT (in terms of leveraging technology to meet their needs) than those who do not."

Some have predicted that crowdsourcing is the future of the marketing, advertising, and industrial design industries. The phenomenon, they argue, will accelerate creativity across a larger network.

Others, meanwhile, have predicted this practice of opening up a task to the public instead of keeping it in-house or using a contractor will be the demise of those businesses because of the downward pressure on prices. If LG crowdsources a new cell phone design on CrowdSpring for $20,000, as it did recently, what happens to the old model of paying a design firm millions of dollars for the same project?

So which is it? Does crowdsourcing represent the beginning of the end of creative organizations? Or does it herald the beginning of something bigger and transformational for those agencies—and for business in general?

Surtout, une stratégie client innovante a été mise en place et semble porter ses fruits. L’entreprise danoise met en place un réseau social spécialement destiné aux enfants, my lego networks. Une série de mécanismes est mise en place de façon à garantir un endroit protégé et sûr. Le succès est au rendez-vous. D’après le chef des nouveaux produits de Lego, Paal Smith Meyer ce réseau aurait plus d’un million de membres. Ce n’est pas tout.

There's a huge gap between CEOs saying they want their companies to innovate and actually acting in a way consistent with what they say.

This lack of congruence drives internal change agents crazy, catatonic, or out the door.

At the very least, it makes them cranky and unwilling to "go the extra yard" required to turn their inspired ideas into reality.

Comme un air de déjà vécu ?… Ce type d’organisation et de culture d’entreprise, si commune, finalement, étouffe pourtant toute tentative d’innovation qui n’est pas décidée au sommet. Autrement dit, elle tue à peu près toute innovation. Tout court. Les porteurs d’idées sont découragés. Leur créativité est mise sous cloche. Ils doivent attendre cinq, dix, quinze, vingt ans, le temps de monter dans la pyramide, avant de commencer à être écouté.
