How IBM Enables Its Workers to Innovate: Replace Management Selection with Cr...
IBM runs two programs out of their CIO Lab that encourage employees to share ideas and create prototypes, and helps them get their innovative projects in the hands of the crowd to uncover powerful new technology. I Fund IT is an in-house crowdfunding platform, and the Technology Adoption Program (TAP) helps employees create and try experimental software. Can your organization replace management decisions with crowd decisions?
What is web2.0?
A simple overview, from my perspective, of what web2.0 is actually all about and the reasons why it has taken off in the way it has.
English
Innovation is the introduction of new ideas, goods, services, or practices intended to be useful. There are three main types of innovation: process innovation, which creates new ways of producing, selling, or distributing existing products or services; technical innovation, which creates new products or services; and administrative innovation, which creates new organizational designs to better support product or service creation and delivery. Innovation is driven by courage and energy to face the world, and requires commercial success to be considered true innovation based on examples that have changed human history such as electricity, steam engines, and motor vehicles.
Innovety - IP Presentation
This document discusses setting an intellectual property (IP) business strategy. It summarizes that companies should think of IP as an innovation asset and develop a flexible IP strategy. An effective strategy considers open innovation and balances full exclusion, limited exclusion, and open access approaches. The most innovative companies have the most innovative IP strategies. Managing IP requires considering patents, copyrights, trademarks, and open innovation sources.

Breakout Collaboration tools - Piet Verhoeve
This document provides recommendations for using MyBBT, a collaboration tool, based on practical experiences. It outlines best practices for proposal writing, project startups, mailing lists, and directories. It also discusses challenges with user skills and engagement, especially among industry partners. Formal reporting and follow up procedures need clarification around details like project versus calendar year, approvals processes, and what gets transferred to official reporting. Users should not overestimate others' ICT skills and need to respect partners' tools and policies around meetings, bandwidth limits, and security.

What Do Investors Look for Before Investing
- Investors look for entrepreneurs and startups that have the right fit and team, a well-defined business plan and model, and valuable technology. They want to see an experienced team that can execute on new, innovative ideas to solve real problems.
- For a startup to be considered a "unicorn" from the beginning, it needs to have groundbreaking innovations that solve major issues simply, operate using high-level technology, and create products that are easily integrated into consumers' daily lives.
- What differentiates startups that raise millions versus hundreds of thousands comes down to the team's skills and experience, the product's scalability and scarcity in the market, and whether the risk versus reward is appropriately balanced
Brussels Tech Startup Ecosystem Barometer 2017
Brussels has a thriving tech startup ecosystem, with strengths including its high startup density relative to other Belgian regions. Since 2011, Brussels startups have been growing rapidly, with over 400 currently located in the region. While Brussels has about a third of Amsterdam's startup density, it is catching up to other startup hubs. Some Brussels startups have already received international recognition, showing the potential for success emerging from the ecosystem. Employment is another key contribution, with startups currently employing around 3,000 people in Brussels and planning further hiring. Supports from the regional government, including grants, also help startups scale and generate additional jobs. However, challenges remain around talent recruitment, internationalization, funding, and networking.

Ready, Fire, Aim Futurethink White Paper
This document discusses the findings of a survey on innovation efforts at organizations. It finds that while organizations are talking more about innovation, their actual innovation scores remain quite low, averaging only 42% overall. While idea generation and culture-building activities have increased, scores around innovation strategy and processes have declined. This indicates that many organizations are focusing on quick "smoke and mirrors" activities rather than developing a sustainable innovation program with a clear strategy and processes. Without addressing strategy and processes first, innovation efforts risk wasting resources and confusing employees over the long run.

With only 15% of respondents stating their organization is "very effective" at Collaborative Innovation, and a mere 35% who believe Collaborative Innovation ranks up with the core capabilities of business such as R&D, Operations, Marketing and more - we’re certainly not all masters of this space just yet.
Call it Collaborative Innovation, Enterprise 2.0, Open Innovation, Innovation Management, Hyper-Social Innovation or Social Business... are you doing it? Doing it well? Find out what we've uncovered in this sneak preview of the upcoming ebook on our research results from late 2011 to early 2012.
