Training Slide 1: Revisiting the Laws of Knowledge Dynamics

This is the first of the training slides for "Innovation Web Practitioners".

Innovation is the application of knowledge. Knowledge can be understood as the human capability to act in context.

The following three “laws” or “key attributes” of innovation were defined by Debra Mae Amidon, Piero Formica and Eunika  Mercier-Laurent many years ago and remain a solid framework for understanding the innovation journey. 

Special thanks go to the many others who were of course involved and influential in evolving these paradigms - indeed it was a tribal view.

Important to note is that we re-define "commercialization" in line with the diffusion of innovation curve to mean "market saturation" which injects a unique element into the innovation journey. "Commercialization" is only the start, becoming a "household concept" is the aspiration. How do we make our innovations become the "Aspirin" or the "Kleenex" of its market?

1st Law: Knowledge multiplies when it is shared.

Knowledge is a limitless and expandable source of economic wealth. Intellectual assets – effectively exploited through innovation – are the most valuable resource to manage;

2nd Law: Value is created when knowledge moves from the point of origin to the point of highest need or opportunity.

Innovation encompasses the full spectrum, from idea creation to commercialisation, and successful innovation involves converting knowledge flows into marketable goods and services;

3rd Law: Collaboration for mutual leverage provides optimal utilisation of tangible and intangible resources within and across boundaries.

Collaboration replaces the competitive (win/lose) paradigm prevalent today. Win/win benefits are based on pooling and leveraging competencies: knowledge, know-how and skills.

Roundtable “Improving City Cybersecurity – Accelerating the Sharing of Sensitive Personal Knowledge “- April 21 at 4PM CET

Bild
Dear all, In collaboration with Major Cities of Europe ( https://www.majorcities.eu/ )  this round table  will give us the opportunity for sharing examples on how we could collaboratively change the paradigm about on how to manage cybersecurity threats in a dynamic and effective way. Please contact me at oliver.schwabe@innovation-web.eu if you are interested in participating and I will forward the invite. Background: Daily news about cyberattacks around the world show that City administrations are sensitive targets of phishing, ransomware, malicious viruses etc.  Attacks occur to all our IT systems, sometimes without even us noticing. Managing those threats by being ready to prevent them is a major challenge. Technology solutions, CISOs security officers, national and international official initiatives are essential but not enough. Many CIOs, especially medium / small cities, feel alone in managing these overwhelming issues. Often these attacks succeed with heavy consequences but very

Knowledge Alliance Proposal: WP 9 Create and Pilot Curriculum

Bild
Dear all - this is the close to final version of work package 9 for our Knowledge Alliance proposal. The work package is focused on creating and piloting a curriculum to address skills gaps giving rise to our proposal in the first place, therefore the lack of understanding related to accelerating the diffusion of innovation from ideation to market saturation in high value manufacturing. The ultimate goal is an Erasmus Mundus Joint Accredited Masters program - the most recent selection of such can be found at  https://eeas.europa.eu/headquarters/headquarters-homepage/65938/erasmus-has-selected-44-new-erasmus-mundus-joint-master-degree-programmes_en  and that is also where the image comes from. Description This implementation work package creates and pilots a career framework as a specialisation of the “Responsible and Flexible Career Development Framework for Researchers” focussed on the acceleration of the diffusion of innovation (eco-systems) from ideation to market satura
