Knowledge for Innovation
Date & time:

Chat Announcement:
Modern organizations need a new, collaborative, value-driven approach to Innovation, which is challenging traditional views. It appears that the “Knowledge Management side of Innovation” is not fully exploited. Closer synergy between Knowledge and Innovation practices would certainly benefit the innovation process.
Agenda:
Questions for this chat session:
- What could Open Innovation learn from KM?
- Which KM practices are applicable in an Open Innovation environment?
- What constraints are imposed by Open Innovation?
Chat Transcript:
Agree with JoeRaimondo
Agree with JoeRaimondo completely that IP management issues are terrifying. Worth repeating here. Don't get me wrong, I see both sides and thrive on open communication.
IP Management is only one facet of Open Innovation
I won't say that IP management issues are easy -- quite the contrary! -- but they represent only one facet of Open Innovation. For Open innovation to be successful, all dimensions of the problem need to be considered:
- Technology aspects, such as the use of crowdsourcing platforms, collaborative software, etc.
- Process aspects, covering the entire Open Innovation life-cycle from ideation to market.
- Legal aspects, ensuring that the right agreements are in place at every stage of the process, thus ensuring a relationship of trust protecting IP rights between coopetitors (cooperating competitors).
- Competency aspects, matching the right solvers (those having solutions) with the seekers (those publishing challenges).
- Organizational aspects, ensuring clear roles and responsibilities of all parties involved, including intermediaries and platform operators.
- Financial aspects, promoting fair reward mechanisms between seekers and solvers.

Great job Christian!
Congratulations for moderating the most crowded chat session up to this date! A lot of people from outside our community participated, which is great! Hopefully we can get a few of them on board the #KMers train. For those of you who weren't there, the chat transcript is available.
Besides this many thanks to Gwen Smith Ishmael for writing a blogpost about this great chat!
Stay tuned next week for more interesting discussions on KMers.org.
