Following our Loop#2, Round#6 discussion, we have come up with a new question to understand how to use technologies to reach a systemic, « exponential everything » impact. The expression is derived from the idea highlighted by experts that the IoT was driving knowledge and information sharing in an exponential way. I have therefore taken on board the investigation of our current analyses and strategic recommendations to determine how the rise of digital data could enable smart change makers to optimize innovation and drive sustainable, « exponential » growth.

Tell your own story : how can you build human values for innovation? (preview)WeAreInnovation
Through recent discussions engaging social media and technology experts, innovation leaders and entrepreneurs have outlined a central question that could help generate long term value for their projects: what human values could we define for innovation?
You could see this presentation as a "thinkathon" collating customers, finance stakeholders and business experts views and processing them through methodologies defined as the discussion goes along. We created a tool to capture requirements, a thinking framework to compile user stories into user solutions, and a management tool to monitor costs and results. Finally, we have consolidated results into an end-to-end plan which you can use to tell your own story and build human values for innovation.

The way we think about entrepreneurship has changed with the advent of open entrepreneurship. It transcends the conventional business startup and operation model that prioritizes financial gain. Instead, it adopts a more inclusive and open strategy that promotes teamwork, openness, and shared value generation. Open business owners collaborate actively with all stakeholders—including rivals—to co-create solutions, share resources, and promote innovation. It involves dismantling silos, accepting diversity, and using collective intellect to tackle difficult problems.
Digital marketing success is hinged on social currency.
Everywhere you look, there seems to be a growing dissonance between brands and their digital marketing offerings.
Leading without frontiers: A visual storyKarina Leal
When opportunity knocks, how will you respond?
How to find your future by focusing on new drivers of business value
Society has become increasingly technologically mediated. The role of ubiquity has never been more important. The design process helps mediate the relationship between practical function and how technology works within a society. Helping people and businesses to do what was previously impossible.
With the pace of change accelerating in society today, how do businesses prioritize, organize and execute new and innovative drivers of business value?
I’d like to share a visual story with you that provides business leaders with insights and true stories from the cutting edge across multiple industries, and an approach to help rapidly shape and deliver their digital strategies to gain a competitive advantage from technology.
Leading without frontiers: A visual story
Authored by Roy Sharples, with contributions from Fred Warren and Phillip Joe, Leading without frontiers offers Microsoft Enterprise Strategy’s contemporary perspective on:
• Why the pace of change is accelerating in society today
• Businesses and public services that have been re-imagined by using technology creatively
• How to envision and deliver innovative solutions with impact
• Tools & techniques for complex problem solving
• The case for change
• Fostering the right leadership style to lead without frontiers
The Microsoft Enterprise Strategy team provides unparalleled technology expertise to accelerate business outcomes. As experienced facilitators who have helped organizations across most industries achieve technology-enabled business change, we are here to ensure you are positioned for a successful future.
INNOVE is a think, engage and do tank that designs and develops processes that enable organizations, and especially businesses, to achieve their transformation to sustainable models. The future of business will belong to those who are able to adapt to the new sustainable development paradigm.
This document analyses the role of the social media in communications about a company’s innovations, identifies the most important tools that facilitate this communication and suggests how can innovation generate value for a brand, wondering what is the effective way of identifying innovation assets of a company from the viewpoint of communication.
In Spain reference models in social and professional terms are about search for secure employment in public administrations and large companies. Media in Spain pay less attention to entrepreneurship (especially when it comes to new companies or start-ups)
In order to achieve significant changes in this issue, it is necessary to change the existing paradigm and be able to transform information into knowledge.
This change implies stimulation of entrepreneurship and innovation at the family, school and public levels apart from the corporate level; emphasize close relationship between large, medium and small companies as well as the public and private sectors; provide incentives and financial support for news media that report about innovation; promote traditional and digital journalism specializing in these themes.
Objectives and strategy are the key starting points for planning communication that should conform to the general communication policy of the company. Once this is set, the rest of the key elements are related to creativity and implementation.
Thus innovation objectives should be linked to the company’s strategy and all departments should actively participate in the process of innovation, removing traditional divisional barriers.
Storytelling is vital at the initial stage, and acts as a focal point that determines the rest of communication and content generation tools through platforms developed for co-creation with customers, face-to-face meetings, etc.
In all these media and channels, it is important to control all messages at all stages of the innovation value chain, aligning them with the character of the company and its values, especially those related to transparency, sincerity, the skills to be faster than competitors and be able to keep track of investments.
Managing information and sharing knowledge are key elements for any internal communication policy, and their importance increases when it comes to facilitating innovation and doing it openly, in conjunction with external professionals.
In the world of Internet communication, content is key. But it is also necessary to identify the messages of this content or to know what media and channels are adequate for communications about innovation.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.

4. Following our Loop#2, Round#6 discussion, we have
come up with a new question to understand how to use
technologies to reach a systemic, « exponential
everything » impact. The expression is derived from the
idea highlighted by experts that the IoT was driving
knowledge and information sharing in an exponential
way.I have therefore taken on board the investigation of
our current analyses and strategic recommendations to
determine how the rise of digital data could enable
smart change makers to optimize innovation and
drive sustainable, « exponential » growth.
Our latest operational plan, « Tell Your Own Story: how
can you define human values for innovation », has
outlined a pathway to implement change based on
human-centricity and sustain models thanks to diversity-
based innovation processes. This new plan will take these
results forward by creating human values for
exponential catalysts thanks to « New Strategy, New
marketing », defining a thinking framework to manage
costs of uniformity thanks to « Making sense of social
media through diversity », and reverse those costs
towards diversity and innovation virtuous circles
thanks to « Startups, People and Ecosystems: success
and reality ». Diversity management tools used in this
plan are those defined in « Diversity as a success story ».
Finally, the operational analyses driven through the blog
have outlined the aspirations of consultants, experts,
business specialists, leaders, students, end-users and
customers for a smarter innovation. I have gathered those
requirements in a strategic story entitled « Augmented
Innovation ». I have reflected those needs within the
investigation, explaining how data savvy,
constructive and agile change-makers would shape a
strategy to become the next exponential catalyst.
A full list of links to access the tools I have used for this
analysis is available at the end of this plan. I also offer
dedicated sessions to go through your projects and
priorities if you need further assistance rolling-out
diversity as a management and innovation practice in
your business.

Introduction
5. Author’s comment
They wanted the golden nugget. CEOs and directors I’ve
worked for had this relentless aspiration for more. More
revenues, more customers, more margin. Of course they all
had investors and financial stakeholders to satisfy, as well
as public authorities and legal, tax compliances to follow.
Yet those individuals embodied this thirst for more to a
point they would eventually loose their own vision, in
best situations, or their purpose and personal values,
in the worst cases.
There is very little space for employees and CEOs to reflect
on the impact business pressure can drive on companies,
regardless of their size and sector. I would be interested to
know how any business, given the efforts needed to adapt
to a multi-sector disruption, can thrive without analyzing
what builds their core value as a knowledge community for
their customers, how they can use this expertise to reverse
tensed situation into problem-solving open discussions,
and build upon common grounds and sense to generate
long term value. I have seen smallest and most agile
teams concentrate on developing those ideas and links
between individuals, thanks to inspiring and engaging
leaders. I have seen them build this story and sell it to
customers and investors. I have seen those teams
becoming the gold nugget.
It may well be that the one technical crew that never really
speaks to you actually perfectly handles and manages the
warehouse, and simply isn’t used to sharing any
information with « people from the office ». « People from
the warehouse » are still happy to spend a few minutes
showing new joiners how their material work, because they
have complaints and they know « people in the office »
deal with those issues, and because they know how the
products work, more than your sales force. They install
material, and they repair, manage, store it. And they share
a specific piece of story, without even noticing. It is your
technical team that manages the gold nugget value, not
you. Without new joiners visiting the warehouse, how would
you know? Getting to integrate a diversity of skills and
values within your own business story is a necessary
step to understand how you can become the next gold
nugget for your customers, making yourself an
exponential catalyst for innovation.

7. Management view
Innovative marketing and strategy tools have emerged
from connected businesses and markets. Digital tools
enable a higher definition of existing markets, newly
defined stories and conversations with customers.
It is therefore important to integrate into our own
thinking patterns external viewpoints that can help
us complement and diversify our thoughts to
better define new approaches. Our ability to share
differences and learn from them is at the heart of our
innovation capabilities.
We should encourage knowledge sharing and
difference sharing to develop new thinking
patterns and get used to life long learning.
weareinnovation.org
8. Operational view
« Augmented Innovation » enables to understand how universities and schools seek to challenge
barriers, while politics and public institutions’ willingness to change is questioned. End-users and
customers express what they would expect from the future of customer experience.
By assembling new knowledge and experiences, we should seek to create unprecedented
solutions, investigating the pros and cons without judging but keeping in mind there are reasons
and pathways leading people to perceive situations differently.
Starting from there, we should encourage constructive creativity born from cross-breeding
activities and thoughts, constant learning, creating areas to ask questions and analyze
needs for change, constantly optimizing viewpoints, constantly inviting others to jointly
create a better world.
weareinnovation.org
9. Experts view
Our latest discussions have highlighted a vested interest
from our global community to better interact with
complex personalities and individual purposes to make
sense of innovation. Developing diversity as a
management practice, that is enabling diversity of
cultures and ideas to solve common business issues, can
drastically improve businesses potential for innovation.
Being able to properly use and develop inner and outer
diversity requires a level of freedom and open mindset
which we need to build and encourage. Experts and
analysts outline the reasons and specific context which
are preventing diversity to properly work and develop so
as to deliver full value.
They also outline the tools and strategies we can use
to lead to a more open environment where individual
are encourage to be the best of who they are,
embracing their individual value to make use of them
in teams of skills and talents defining solutions for
common goals. And we had already defined a whole
plan to do that.
