Interested in innovation? Go to my new blog at Bearing Consulting Ldt, http://blog.bearing-consulting.com/ for the latest news and insights

In a recently report Gartner state that games will be used to drive innovations, an old phenomenon but interesting.  One of the most interesting stories is about how LEGO made an amazing turnaround some years back, and in the new spirit started to invited their customers to design and customize their own LEGO via Internet. And not just that, they also released a complete new highly interactive and flexible platform Mindstorm encouraging customers to design and develop their own LEGO-robots. Talk about innovative leap: strengthened relationship, better understanding and customer insights as well as a renewed hype around their products. Just have a look at the clip I found on YouTube.

Today, it seems like many companies and organizations actually try to use internet based games, as an open innovation approach, gaining better understanding of behavior and demand. Another example on how games can be used to get better insights and ideas is how the UK Department of Labor launched a game-like application called ”Idea Street” aiming at collect new insights from their 120 000 users.

Today aligning firm’s capabilities with the strategic intent is crucial, defining and developing the organization’s sweet spot essential. It’s a lot of article about the subject in Harvard Business Review among other, a lot of insights gains from former experts on intellectual capital and knowledge management but the real value comes with aligning and implementing the insights in the firms line of sight. Through the whole organization releasing the power and full potential. I am chairing the award winning and leading e-Learning company Lexicon Interactive who are in the middle of building up their professional services department enabling companies releasing their full potential, deploying with infrastructure (tools) and content (learning).

There are those who make things happen,

… those who respond to what is happening

… and those who is wondering what is happened!

Vem är du av dem?

Under bloggmoln har jag organiserat olika inlägg, kan liknas vid någon slags antologi eller löst sammansatta moln med ideer kring ämnen – ibland med en inbördes ordning och ibland inte.

Vad vill du att jag bloggar om i nästa bloggmoln? Skriv gärna en kommentar, jag funderar på M&A, riskkapital, tillväxt av bolag, att leda och utveckla SME…

Tacksam för dina kommentarer. Tack på förhand
Magnus
