Una piattaforma di Idea Management: Spigit
I processi che portano alla
condivisione, discussione e –
perché no – concretizzazione
di idee innovative in azienda
passano sempre più
frequentemente da
piattaforme web-based ad uso
e consumo di dipendenti,
collaboratori esterni e attori
che gravitano attorno
all’azienda.
È un processo che tende ad
avvicinare dipendenti e
collaboratori alle scelte del
management, creare un clima
partecipativo su tematiche di
importanza strategica e può
valorizzare le potenzialità
inespresse in azienda
premiando la cosiddetta
“collective intelligence”.

Editor's Notes

  • #18 These titles and the proliferation of articles on innovation show how trivialised and vacuous the term has become. The concept has become a cultural affectation and an advertising gimmick. The fact that innovation is no longer simply about Research and Development (R&D), technology or investment but is now applied to everything that moves: culture, employees, creativity, thinking on the left side of the brain, role-models, etc., reveals that the discussion is one that is taking place within its own terms and is no longer linked to a broader purpose. This extraordinary attempt to promote innovation is, as I will argue below, a sign of its absence.If we were living through an era of innovation we would be having a different discussion. We would be talking about inventions or technologies or their impact or what is next. Instead we are talking about innovation as an end in itself unrelated to any broader social process which is hardly innovative. It apes the equally vacuous debate in political circles about the ‘Big Idea’. If it existed politicians and the media would be talking about solving problems rather than trying to find the Big Idea
  • #29 Il numero relativamente elevato di relazioni reciproche che esistono tra il personaleSuggerisce una cultura di collaborazione - ma limitata entro singole unità di business non è tra loro
  • #30 Questo framewrok porta una vista dell'innovazione Nei NETWORK Frameworki in cui le transizioni tra le fasi sono gestite meno come “fase o stadio', ma più come una progressiva transizione di messa a fuoco dei partecipanti.
  • #34 Puntochiave: Idee hanno più probabilità di provenire da connessioni deboli (legami) che da legami più stretti;Queste personale sono identificate come quelle di transizione attraverso connessioni business unit debole - molti non si identificano come esploratori di idea –ma il ruolo di pontedeve essere esplicitato e valorizzato
  • #35 Riconosciuto IDEA generatori sono analizzati per come si relazionano l'uno all'altro come informale 'think tank';Qui siamo alla ricerca di rapporti di reciprocità tra generatori di idee ein particolare di quegli individui che sostengono di più rapporti di reciprocità
  • #36 Questo mappa identifica quanto le idee sono valutate per reperire risorse e ilcommittment dal management.Individua un gap evidente tra i Senior Executive e molti dei CLUSTER livello operativo di IDEA GENERATORI.(Nodi neri sono i Dirigenti, BLU MANAGEMENT nodi.)Queste persone così come il 'Vai a' persone identificate nelle diapositive precedenti dovrebbe diventare la comunità che facilita la generazione delle idee, dalla fase di incubazioneQuesto gruppo ha bisogno di essere coinvolto nella convalida idea e attività di valutazione
  • #37 Questo identifica le idee per le quali un'attuazione chiara e programmati possano essere formulate e attuate attraverso strutture operative esistenti.Questo potrebbe essere attuato da una unica business unit. I puntini blu e nero sono identificati come potenziali hub per rafforzare lo sviluppo delle idee
  • #38 The second network identifies those ‘go to’ people for exploitation who have reciprocal relationships with other ‘go to’ people.This group needs to be drawn on for exploitations that are more complex. (eg implementations that span business units or require sensitive engagement with external stakeholders). - in this situation, effective relationships become more or a predictor of exploitation success than project management practices alone.
