5:11 pm Knowledgize: [moderator] Q1 how is innovation positioned within your organisation and within the KM department? #KMers
5:13 pm BarbaraFillip: In our KM office, we're not focused on innovation, but the agency as a whole definitely is. #KMers
5:15 pm swanwick: Hi Rob Swanwick, joining a bit late today. Love to chat about #innovation and #KM #KMers
5:17 pm apeit: Hello, Bert here from ape-it webhosting; we have no #innovation department, management seems strategically responsible. #KMers
5:17 pm erlanovation: [Twitter Chat starts in one hour] Innovation | #KMers http://bit.ly/hKdRW4 #KM #innochat #innovation Moderated by @ant0_0n
5:18 pm swanwick: Is twitter slow today or did all the #KMers decide they don't want to talk about #innovation ? #KMers
5:18 pm ideaspree: Hi Antoon! We use innovation techniques throughout our approach, mainly idea development. We do not have a specific #KM department. #KMers
5:19 pm Knowledgize: Welcome @swanwick @apeit @ideaspree #KMers
5:19 pm swanwick: These days I work pretty exclusively with small business and start-ups so #innovation has to be everywhere. #KMers
5:20 pm Knowledgize: [moderator] Q2 do you as a knowledge manager know of or use Innovation Management Techniques? #KMers
5:21 pm Brioneja: @Knowledgize Hello #KMers, I am Jose Briones, parallel entrepreneur and passionate about innovation #kmers
5:22 pm BarbaraFillip: Q2: Probably not since I don't really what innovation management techniques are. :) #KMers
5:22 pm apeit: we regularly organise brainstormsessions with our application developers and amongst the management #KMers
5:22 pm swanwick: @ideaspree Yet another venture from the prolific Johan. Very impressive! :) #KMers
5:23 pm Brioneja: @BarbaraFillip I think there is a difference between innovation tools and innovation management #kmers
5:23 pm swanwick: Q2: everyone manages innovation in some way or another just like everyone manages their email inbox. Question is how well? #KMers
5:23 pm Brioneja: @BarbaraFillip Innovation management overlaps somewhat with project mgmt, but specific processes have been created such as Stage Gate #kmers
5:24 pm Knowledgize: @BarbaraFillip a specific technique to develop and introduce new features or ideas in your organisation, do you have these? #KMers
5:24 pm Brioneja: @BarbaraFillip But most of them have not been very well received by the innovation community because they lack flexibility #kmers
5:25 pm Knowledgize: and welcome @Brioneja :) #KMers
5:28 pm BarbaraFillip: @Knowledgize Perhaps we call it change mgt & reserve the word "innovation" for what the scientists & engineers do all the time. #KMers
5:29 pm Brioneja: @BarbaraFillip @Knowledgize In my opinion innovation is an outcome not a process #kmers
5:29 pm Brioneja: @BarbaraFillip @Knowledgize and in order for a product/service to be innovative must deliver real value, otherwise is just new #kmers
5:30 pm BarbaraFillip: We have a technology office (not IT) that focuses on supporting innovation. I think that's were our innovation efforts are focused. #KMers
5:31 pm Knowledgize: @Brioneja do you think then, we can steer it? #KMers
5:31 pm Brioneja: @Knowledgize Absolutely. Focusing on value delivered is critical. #kmers
5:31 pm Knowledgize: @BarbaraFillip do you collaborate with them? #KMers
5:32 pm BarbaraFillip: We have an "innovator of the year" award that was just given out a few days ago. Again, it's for technology development. #KMers
5:33 pm Brioneja: @Knowledgize The best example is the Segway. Cool technology/invention. Little value to most of the target market, commercial failure #kmers
5:33 pm apeit: RT @BarbaraFillip: We have an "innovator of the year" award that was just given out a few days ago. #KMers
5:33 pm BarbaraFillip: @Knowledgize @BarbaraFillip The KM office & the Technology office are in very good terms, lots of talk, but no specific collab. #KMers
5:34 pm Brioneja: @Knowledgize At the other side of the spectrum is the iPhone. Not a lot of new technology, but excellent design, usability = success #kmers
5:35 pm BarbaraFillip: The Technology office gives that Innovator Award, not the KM office. Just to clarify. #KMers
5:36 pm apeit: @Brioneja apps for the win!! #KMers
5:36 pm BarbaraFillip: @Brioneja I agree, innovation isn't just about how new something is. It has to do with the value it brings. #KMers
5:37 pm BarbaraFillip: Sometimes the innovation is in the new way something old is used. #KMers
5:38 pm Brioneja: @BarbaraFillip Absolutely. Transfer of solutions between segments is a common way to deliver value and create innovation #kmers
5:39 pm Knowledgize: @BarbaraFillip @Brioneja sounds like #KM has to play an important part in #innovation #KMers
5:39 pm Brioneja: @Knowledgize @BarbaraFillip Innovation processes are all about managing knowledge. #kmers
5:40 pm Brioneja: @Knowledgize @BarbaraFillip Understanding where knowledge is lacking and creating a process to reduce uncertainty #kmers
5:40 pm apeit: RT @Brioneja: @Knowledgize @BarbaraFillip Innovation processes are all about managing knowledge. #KMers
5:42 pm Knowledgize: [moderator] Q3 has anyone any guidelines on innovation that they use, that they may share? #KMers
5:42 pm BarbaraFillip: But just because it has to do with knowledge doesn't necessarily mean the KM office needs to be in charge of innovation management. #KMers
5:43 pm Brioneja: @Knowledgize I have been working on an innovation management process that is an alternative to the Stage Gate Process #kmers
5:43 pm WeKnowMore: RT @Knowledgize: [moderator] Q3 has anyone any guidelines on innovation that they use, that they may share? #KMers

5:44 pm Brioneja: @Knowledgize In a nutshell, it is all about classifying projects based on degree of uncertainty, and manage them via separate tracks #kmers
5:45 pm Knowledgize: @BarbaraFillip in general or due to the specific nature of innovation and research in your organisation? #KMers
