It's from The Office and shows the funny / predictable side of change management and motivational speaking.

Co-creative Commerce
Interesting idea from Charles Savage / paper called Co-creative Commerce
Oct. 20, 2001 – Rev. 7.2
Plug-n-Partnering™ through “Web Services”
is enabling the shift from
the FROWN to the SMILE
by
Arun Gairola and Charles Savage
-------------------------------------------------------------
Creating opportunities is inherently collaborative and co-creative whereas exploiting opportunities is a competitive process. Instead of the traditional SWOT analysis, we engage in
SICO:
Strengths,
Improvement Opportunities internally,
Challenges and
Opportunities for new business externally
This is why we are clearly going beyond the Porter model and the traditional approaches to strategic planning. We are fast entering the realm of strategic networking and teaming. This is so much more open, fluid and dynamic.”
“This shift can lead to real increases in shareholder value, because we have also increased our stakeholder value. As we have valued (verb) one another, as individuals and companies, we are able to generate even more value (noun) among and between us, especially through our co-creative abilities. This is the new win-win model that creates substantive wealth, not just a pretty but hollow bubble. To get there, we are going to have to think through what is core to our businesses.”

The 12 Different Ways for Companies to Innovate
Found this litle abstract of a paper, that I am not going to buy but the abstract itself could be helpful to all of us, when lookng at possibilities that companies can innovate in.
by:Mohanbir Sawhney, Robert C. Wolcott and Inigo Arroniz
http://sloanreview.mit.edu/smr/issue/2006/spring/14/
In fact, a company can innovate along any of 12 different dimensions with respect to its (1) offerings, (2) platform, (3) solutions, (4) customers, (5) customer experience, (6) value capture, (7) processes, (8) organization, (9) supply chain, (10) presence, (11) networking, and (12) brand. Nissan Motor Co., for example, has innovated along the platform dimension, using essentially the same small engine block to power a variety of models, including an upscale midsize sedan, a large sedan, luxury sedans, a minivan and a sports coupe. Enterprise Rent-A-Car has innovated along the customers and presence dimensions, placing car rental locations in the neighborhoods where people live and work rather than at airports. Together the 12 dimensions of innovation can be displayed in a new framework called the “innovation radar,” which companies can use to manage the increasingly complex business systems through which they add value.

Strategy, and S.T.U.P.I.D vs. S.M.A R T. Companies and Goals
As I am doing desk research on what professionals think of inovation/organisation/ u know what, I have found this little thing. maybe its not that usefull, thou the words STUPID got my attention...
Now, this blog goes on FOREVER, and if u dont want to read it all, just don't click the link under this short abstract:
Author: Jim McCarthy
You have a choice: you can be STUPID, or you can be SMART.
Here is how a STUPID business operates:
Strategy is missing in action
There are too few (or no) measures
Unclear, or no real goals
Plans are not followed through to completion
Internal systems are non-existent – and your business is...
Dead on arrival!!!
What you really need is a S.M.A.R.T business:
Strategy is in place
Measures exist and are tied to strategy
Accurate time frames are presentResources are identified and assigned;
Reserves are established and ready to respond to changes and opportunities as they arise
Tactics are aligned with strategy...With S.M.A.R.T.E.R.
Goals:SpecificMeasurableAttainableRealisticTimelyEvaluateReviseSpecific -
A specific goal has a much greater chance of being accomplished than a general goal.
To set a specific goal you must answer the six "W" questions:Who: Who is involved?What: What do I want to accomplish?Where: Identify a location.When: Establish a time frame.Which: Identify requirements and constraints.Why: Specific reasons, purpose or benefits of accomplishing the goal.

A thought on: DIGITAL MUSIC FORUM WEST
So there it is, a new sort of music conferene taking place in the US, and me, finding some stuff that happened there.
One of the forums was about the future of the mobile music, and everybody is discussing iPhone , Nokia's come With Music etc.
These everybody are well-known people who are working in this industry and have lots to tell.
I guess u get the picture.
Nice insights as to how the future will ( probably) look like and how to prepare for innovation are these:
1.
The next billion people that access the web are going to do so on a mobile phone. That's what we're focused on, rather than trying to create a Mac version.
(Trevor Madigan, Americas manager of entertainment, Nokia)
2.
- The great thing about the Google phone and the iPhone is that people are realizing there aren't two internets for computers and mobile. Over the next five years, we're going to see ubiquitous, fast access, prices for access will come down, and it's going to be very interesting.
(Trevor Madigan, Americas manager of entertainment, Nokia)
3.
- The Google phone is going to force the carriers to open up the cellphone environment, due to its app store and other factors
(Massimiliano Pellegrini, CEO, Dada Entertainment)
