A Day with Gary Hamel
Gary spoke about how the biggest thing that may limit organizational success most going forward is our organization's ability to evolve their management models. But an even biggr handicap to future success may be the fact that our management models were not built to manage innovation but precision, stability, discipline, and reliability
SSRN-The Organizational Life of an Idea: Integrating Social Network, Creativity and Decision-Making Perspectives by Bob Kijkuit, Jan Van Den Ende
Existing theories on the influence of social networks on creativity focus on idea generation. Conversely, the new product development literature concentrates more on the selection of ideas and projects. In this paper we bridge this gap by developing a dynamic framework for the role of social networks from idea generation to selection. We apply findings from creativity and behavioral decision-making literature and present an in-depth understanding of the sociological processes in the front-end of the new product development process. Our framework builds on the importance of mutual understanding, sense making and consensus formation. The propositions focus on both network structure and content and highlight the need to have strong ties and prior related knowledge, to incorporate decision makers, and to move over time from a large, non-redundant and heterogeneous to a smaller and more cohesive network structure. We conclude with a discussion on empirical validation of the framework and possible extensions.
Maximizing Business Value from Enterprise 2.0 through Fun & Motivation
"I am a strong believer that organizations, should focus and facilitate the use of these tools in order to maximize organizational benefits. To drive value, I've often referred to the engagement factors and in this post I wanted to focus on ons of the factors, "Motivation".\n\nHow do we address motivation? Do we adopt the "build it and they will come" approach? No. But what about Wikipedia? it seems like complete "self-organization" has made it successful. But consider that only 1% of the people who visit Wikipedia actually contribute content. That's alright with a population set of the world, but 1% of your company may not be enough and if you have specific objectives you may need to motivate others to participate"
The Odd Clever People Every Organization Needs - Forbes.com
In the clever organization, benevolence is balanced with discipline. Clever people are most productive when they're given boundaries. As much as they need autonomy, they also need structure. Creating the right sort of space--large enough to allow clevers to express themselves, but also with systems and structures to help them focus their efforts--is vital. One without the other is dangerous and ultimately unproductive.
Cleverness thrives in response to real-world challenges with real-world constraints. This is exemplified by the careers of the world-renowned consulting engineers Ove Arup & Partners. They responded to the peculiarities of their assignments by producing the Beijing cube swimming pool and the Sydney Opera House.
When Open Innovation Becomes A Gimmick: Lessons From Campbell Soup Company | Stefan Lindegaard: Leadership+Innovation
Let me start out by saying that it is purely accidental that I am lashing out at Campbell Soup Company in this blog post. It could have been several other companies as Campbell has not really done things that have not been done at other companies that set up programs to accept innovative ideas from external sources. While their intentions may be good, their execution is so poor that I can’t imagine they’ll have much success at this attempt at open innovation.

Exploring Differences between Inventors, Champions, Implementers and Innovators in Creating and Developing New Products in Large, Mature Firms
This exploratory research investigates nine individuals participating as specialists in different phases of the invention and new product development (NPD) process in one organization. In-depth interviews were conducted with these individuals, as well as with 17 of their managers and co-workers, adding an external perspective about them. These nine individuals participated in four different divisions of labour in the innovation process: inventors who focus on scientific and technical invention prior to concept development, champions who are most adept at selling acceptance of projects into the organization, implementers who focus on facilitating the project through the firm's formal development process, and innovators who operate across all three phases of invention, acceptance and implementation. The research finds differences in personality, perspective, knowledge base, motivation, and attitude toward politics that seem to be associated with these different specialist types. These differences lead to implications for the types of projects for which they might best be suited, as well as for how they might best be managed.

Internet Evolution - The Big Report - Can Enterprise Social Networking Pay Off?
These apps aim to provide value in three ways. First, they can bridge geographical and organizational information divisions by moving conversations out of email and hallways and into shared spaces such as blogs and wikis. This way, information becomes searchable, serendipitous connections are made, and ideas pollinate in ways they couldn’t before. Communities of interest spring up around subject matter rather than organizational hierarchies. For instance, a hardware engineer in Ireland who experiments with open-source software in his spare time could link to a blog on Linux started by a software developer in Australia. Even though the hardware engineer isn’t part of the software development team, he could follow discussions and share ideas, some of which the dev team may find useful.
