Digital Innovation: Rethinking the NO in InNOvation

Innovation with no budgetSue Beckingham, J Boye Web and Intranet Conference 2012, Aarhus

The PERFECT website, intranet, VLE, PLE, CMS or LMS is as elusive as the pot of gold at the end

of any rainbow.....

We need to acknowledge that there isn’t one correct answer to providing a single ‘one size fits all’ solution that meets the

needs of everyone

The word innovation derives from the Latin word innovare "to renew or change,”

We therefore need to encourage, enable and embrace:

Pushing (the edge of) the envelope

To attempt to extend the current limits of performance.

To innovate, or go beyond commonly accepted

boundaries.

BUT what about the barriers to InNOvation….

Pushing ( the edge of) the envelope

....... going beyond commonly accepted

boundaries.

Stretched Budgets

Lack of time

Permission to stop to think?

Innovation Day = 20% working week

A 'Noogler' on his first Friday

Looking beyond communication just within your team....

Use Google Docs to develop an open

on-going programme of

informal sharing of ideas over lunch

Looking beyond the horizon for new ideas and innovative solutions…

A major shift has taken place on the Web. Web pages and Web search are no longer the centre of online activity and

attention. Instead, the new centre of attention is messaging and streams.

We have moved from the era of the Web to the era of the Stream. This changes everything.

Run with those 'light bulb moments' of inspiration but accept you have to

discard other ideas or rework them

The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.
