Title: A New Framework for Managing Innovation
With hundreds of billions of dollars (US) of expenditure and the economic well-being of companies and countries around the globe at stake, it goes without saying that management has an important role to play with respect to innovation. However, many executives see innovation as an unmanageable process, riddled with risks. The pressing question is what exactly should managers be doing to move innovation in a positive direction? This workshop will show that there is a clear role for managers, including concrete actions, which will move the process forward. But this requires thinking about and treating innovation in a non-traditional way. How you will benefit from the workshop: - Gain familiarity with a generalized framework based on theories of complex adaptive systems that can be applied
- Learn to close the gap between traditional management practices and innovative management approaches
- Apply tasks to develop optimal organization, improve processes and tools, and to make key decisions that flow with Open System Innovation
The workshop is also intended to serve as a focus group. We will be testing to see whether the new ideas we have developed can be applied to innovation in a practical way. We look forward to your participation and feedback. Workshop Leader: Harvey Dershin
