How to retain knowhow, develop an organisational brain, and promote innovation
a historical slide-deck
“This slide-deck is a historical document, and formed part of a submission to a major UK utility, via an intermediary organisation whose mission is to work with companies and corporations that recognise and self-define as finding true innovation and invention a challenge.
As such, it might not now represent in its entirety, either in tone or content, exactly what I would write today if starting from scratch.
But it is still, in my assessment, worthy of revisiting.
The issues it identified in innovation and invention — particularly where in the latter part of the presentation they touch upon tendering processes that eliminate, for those in charge of such processes, what, ultimately, could easily become “unknown knowns”, if only the knowledge bases that informed specifications and requirements were more collaborative and capable of drafting and redrafting unheard of solutions — have not gone away.
Why, therefore, worthy of being revisited.”
