My personal recommendation, when engaging in the ideation process and the development of an idea, especially when using idea management software, is that a core requirement of collaborating require that for every flawed aspect of an idea that is pointed out, a positive one is too. The positive one can address a separate aspect of the idea, or perhaps propose a way of mitigating the identified flaw. This helps keep the balance equal or in favor of the positive aspects, but also opens the opportunity to constructively address the flaws.

It’s not an skill that’s been widely understood until quite recently, however community management has begun to move to the forefront of social computing in the enterprise as the use of social tools begins to climb the maturity curve. Now it’s increasingly proving not just useful but a critical component of Enterprise 2.0 efforts despite an often vague understanding of what it is and where it should be situated in the org chart.

Many organizations are already looking ahead to 2010. They are collecting ideas and requests for projects to run, products to develop, marketing strategies to design and a myriad of other growth-focused activities. Some are even developing plans around making idea and innovation management a formal business process within their organizations...but how do you get started? By using the simple 100 Day Plan format and "chunking" the work required into smaller, more manageable pieces.

innovation community management

His logic is this: Assume you want a solution for a problem. If you get suggestions from two people, it’s run of the mill. If you have 50 people doing it, you are more likely to find a solution.

So, how does he get those large numbers (his is a 6,000-people company) to voluntarily come out with solutions? It was a challenge. “We realised that everyone has an idea but most such ideas are killed by the person him/herself. ‘What if my boss thinks it’s trivial?’ is enough to destroy an idea that is germinating.”

Typically, ideas are not freely encouraged in companies, and if you make a suggestion the management asks you to “give a proposal in format, talk about costs and the earlier experience of doing this...” If a person has to make an effort to sell an idea then that kills the idea, is Gopalan’s take.

Some of my tips on making a community work include:

• Focus on the need of your members before your intended outcome. Of course, your efforts have to pay off, but this will not happen unless you provide incentives for spending time in your community.

• Focus on quality rather than quantity; getting the right people who can contribute as well as gain from your initiative on board is more important than getting many people onboard.

• Mix virtual tools with real life meetings. We can do much with virtual tools, but nothing beats face-to-face interactions.

• Start with a core group that creates early quality activity in the community and let them act as ambassadors.

• You need a dedicated facilitator to make things happen.

It’s rare to find a community that doesn’t have some people and organizations playing these roles to some extent. But it’s also rare to find a place that has built a full-scale system, an enduring capacity, to enable high-quality execution of civic brokering, system preparation, investment, and idea development—the key functions of community innovation. Many communities don’t recognize that innovation can be accelerated and improved through intentional development of a community-level innovation system.

Not surprisingly the firms with strong discussion forums were up in the 30% range, while those with young blogging efforts were down in the 15% range, though across the board the interviewees reported growing traffic. In addition much of that traffic has been coming from organic search, bringing new visitors to the site, associating the firm’s content with valuable keywords like “steel pricing”, and generally raising the SEO of the site at large.

The knowledge manager is becoming obsolete, since the group is regulating itself via the use of new tools. There isn't one person or a small group of persons that can decide whether something is information, data or knowledge. That decision is personal and a group can decide better by using the tools available nowadays. If a certain document is downloaden 2000 times and has an average rating of 4 out of 5, than you may assume that document represents a certain quality, no need for knowledge manager to confirm or reject that.

At the request of several readers, I've pulled this all together in the table above into a framework for what some have called KM 2.0, but which I prefer to call KM 0.0, because it's getting back to the roots of why and how people share what they know. It could also be called PKM -- Personal Knowledge Management -- because it's about self-managed content and peer-to-peer connectivity.
