business future innovation predicitions

  • The demand for innovation is soaring in the business community and is just beginning to gain traction in the political sphere.
  • And expect the whole realm of social networking to change in 2008. Just when you "got it" and thought it was all about open, personal, and casual online relationships, social media will morph into another ecosystem—one with lots of gates.
  • Companies are demanding new tools and methods to execute that change within their existing organizations, as well as for the kind of design thinking that transforms cultures.

    A not very inspiring look at the near future from Business Week. It does confirm the ever-growing interest in innovation in the US that is also being felt in Europe.

    It's hilarious when you think about it: technology is touted as being one of the key drivers of change, but those people sitting on power over how we use IT in companies and administrations are some of the least capable of embracing change.

    The reactions give even more insight. Trying out innovative new tools is by the respondents regarded as sth that is not key to business processes. You should only be allowed to use tools that are tested. Understandable from some perspectives, but couldn't IT departments become a little more open in supporting and working together with advanced users?

    The second half of the New York Times article about innovation. It  highlights the usefulness of the outside perspective. This is one of the rich aspects of peer-exchange work across countires and differing cultures and perspectives that is not properly understood and exploited by peers.

      Some of the ideas expressed here (in Chip's book) might be useful in thinking about how policy-hsapers can have more impact on policies adopted by policy-makers.

  • People who design products are experts cursed by their knowledge, and they can’t imagine what it’s like to be as ignorant as the rest of us.
  • once you’ve become an expert in a particular subject, it’s hard to imagine not knowing what you do

    About how expertise can hinder innovation and creativity because it tends to fence in ideas and limit possibilities, especially within specific areas of expertise. So thought has to be given to stepping outside existing frameworks and how new ideas are communicated to others.
