Increased Innovation Flows through Collaborative Innovation Architecture

I’ll be leading a 3-hour workshop on how knowledge management professionals can facilitate the innovation processes in their organizations at the KM World 2008 Conference & Exhibition on Monday, September 22, from 1:30 – 4:30 pm.

The conference and exhibition runs September 22-25 at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California.

Facilitating the creation and flow of present and future knowledge in support of innovation is a key process for most organizations. KM managers and practitioners are in unique positions to facilitate this knowledge creation and flow—when they have the right perspective, tools and techniques.

Using collaborative innovation architecture, this workshop explores the innovation process; maps tools and techniques between innovation and KM; and creates templates, checklists, and models. By using real-world examples and those from the participants, the workshop group works through selected critical components of the architecture, providing real and immediate applications for their organizations.
