Support grassroots networking initiatives such as 3M's TechForum—an employee-run group that organizes speaker events to stimulate thinking and also serves as a kind of mixer, where scientists from different labs or divisions can connect in person.</span></p> <p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>Encourage curiosity.</strong> 3M allows employees to spend 15% of their time on projects of their choosing, giving them permission to develop ideas or technologies that may be outside of their regular work focus. Such policies increase the odds of collaboration, as the path of curiosity often leads employees beyond their knowledge base, to a place where they need the advice and insight of others. </span></p> <p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>Create innovation funds.</strong> Group or department managers focused on core-related projects often don't want to spend money exploring or developing innovative ideas. To overcome this common roadblock, companies should create an alternative source—3M calls these Genesis Grants—that employees can go to for funding of innovation projects that don't fit neatly into existing departments.</span></p> <p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>Don't underestimate the value of physical proximity.</strong> When 3M's Post-it Note team wanted to accelerate product development, it had the team's marketing, financial, and other nonmembers move into the same building with the tech folks. If different functions have to be housed in different buildings, pay for a shuttle service that makes it easy for employees in different departments to visit each other. <span class="783053208-11092009">"</span></span></p> <span style="font-size:100%;"><span class="783053208-11092009"><span class="783053208-11092009">Support networks sounds familiar - with Web 2.0 tools it's now easy to establish support networks, next this is to build the culture which will make it efficient.</span></span></span> <p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span class="783053208-11092009"><span class="783053208-11092009">Encouraging creativity<span class="783053208-11092009"> will surely give the benefits, to the oragnizations that can afford it.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span class="783053208-11092009">Innovation funds <span class="783053208-11092009">gives innovations new chance, and make innovation process more simple(as much as it can be simple).

As a concept progresses, keep returning to the definition to make sure that the idea still clears the bar. </span></p> <p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>• Never Kill Good Ideas</strong> A concept that might not be worth pursuing today—because of limited resources, for instance, or the lack of a partner—might be next year's innovation. Don't kill projects. Shelve them, and annually review all concepts for possible resurrection. </span></p> <p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>• Adjust Your Criteria</strong> Early in the process Whirlpool concepts are required to meet the basic definition of innovation. As projects progress, the evaluation criteria become more rigorous. Begin with easier requirements to avoid killing off concepts before they can be developed. </span></p> <p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>• Link Idea Screening with Strategy</strong> A concept might be innovative but still not smart for a company to develop because it would take the company too far afield. Make sure that the people evaluating ideas do so in the context of the company's strategic goals.<span class="499344412-04082009">"</span></span></p> <p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span class="499344412-04082009">They give few months to add-on innovations and 3-5 years to new-to-the world innovations.<br /></span></span></p><p><span class="499344412-04082009"><span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">I can't often find this kind of story such as this article, where the innovation process is described in detail.

Soon they wanted to go to drink with me, and I took the t-shirts there. We had nice discussion as we had common interest - our football club.<br />When you build that kind of community, ideas are jumping out of every corner, and except to that we had many remarks on how club is organized, and that it has poor results in last years, we have great ideas how to make it better and more successful(like that anyone ask us?).<br /><br />My point is that online communites can build groups with common interest, that can generate many ideas and certain individuals can make it useful, but of course - first he needs to ask for it! In our case, if someone from club want to hear us, or just visit our forum, he can get many ideas for the club's future - and all that for free!<br /><br />When you copy this to enterprises, first thing that come to my mind is open innovation. It must be recognized as a powerful weapon in search for new ideas or even new customers. It is recognized in USA or W.Europe but in my part of Europe I don't know for any example yet.tomislav buljubasichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04048904734996795372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6287066809582549358.post-16751130628324600502009-05-05T23:17:00.004+02:002009-05-05T23:21:36.008+02:0010 tips for successful brainstorming session<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipoAqwyO8uwrIxzu__rCpavNWAdRRjR1lGiuuDpxuoWBB2skishh2iSn7auQ25p87ObtpVwvzn6dxLWh8YFbPLxfQwBDdl_pK6rsn2l5E_ALyAbWAKpL71xpNnRHJSneFJ_5UnRLYTolD9/s1600-h/b.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;
