Powered by KNOWLEDGE
In a typical corporate environment there is a wealth of ‘knowledge’ in the form of insights, learnings, ideas, product concepts, decisions, scientific discoveries, business strategies and more. But, due to inconsistent formats and non-optimized means of sharing and discovery, it is difficult to access this knowledge.
We offer the means and the strategies to tackle this problem. We can design a series of templates, effective processes and a digital home for the knowledge of your corporation - what we call the ‘knowledge discovery and exchange surface’ for your company. This can minimize communication gaps, eliminate duplication of work and reduce opportunity cost. Powered by AI.
Get unique insights on how to share and discover information and knowledge within and between your teams.
Innovation requires a vivid environment characterized by ‘diversity of thought’ and a special ‘discovery mode.’
Reflecting on my experience across various multinationals, technology startups, and big tech companies, I would argue that the single most important success factor of corporate innovation is a vivid environment characterized by ‘diversity of thought’ and a special ‘discovery mode.’
In such an environment there is both a plurality of ideas - coming from all directions and across the hierarchy - and the readiness to exploit them - the ability to consider novel ideas as drivers of business success. The flow of ideas requires inspired, capable people who believe in the organizational purpose and engage ‘naturally’ with innovation activities. The ability to exploit ideas and pursue opportunities requires the right innovation capabilities along with a special leadership style that supports a continual ‘opportunity discovery’ function.
Such a business setup inspires creative minds across the hierarchy of the organization – it brings together scientists, domain experts, technologists, and business leaders as a single force, a cross-disciplinary team that works and innovates ‘naturally’ towards big, meaningful organizational objectives.
I help companies build such innovation environments and establish powerful opportunity discovery functions.
