[extract from Value Creation with Communities of Practice]
Measures to help CPs foster radical innovation
Dear friends and colleagues,
What if communities of practice could contribute not only to incremental but radical innovation? How can they be organized and supported for achieving that? If you were your company’s Director of Communities, what would be the 2 or 3 most important measures or initiatives that you would introduce to enable them?
Why are these questions important? Because radical innovation can lead to 100x or 1000x more value to business and society than what incremental innovation networks can achieve.
So, what is “radical innovation,” anyway? It is non-linear and discontinuous innovation in products, services or processes which alter some social, technical or business practice. If you want to find out more about its relationship with “communities of practice”, you may want to read our whitepaper (a .pdf file).
Your answer to the questions at the top is your entry to a free and exciting community learning experience. As some of you know, I’ve been working with Erik van Bekkum in the European Collaborative for Communities of Practice on the link between radical innovation and communities..
See the whole thread about this exciting learning expedition we have started - and comment there or email me to contribute.
