Managing Knowledge for Accelerating Innovation: Identifying and Aligning the People from Different Competencies and Locations into One Innovation Project

Abstract

I present a business case of managing knowledge for accelerating innovation. In this session, the focus is on identifying and aligning people with different competencies and locations into one innovation project. The presentation is based on a real life business case of one of our clients where our technology identified relevant knowledge areas and experts thereby improving internal and external collaboration with strategic partners. This led to improved cross-functional collaboration, knowledge retrieval and team selection for various innovation projects. In addition, it increased bargaining power by better channelling external partners.
