Frameworks contain the views of many. They encourage the speaking of truth creating power in visual ways. Ways simply more powerful than other approaches to problem solving or value creation. They are also the best means of alignment and arbitration when attempting to accurately figure out business issues or simplifying complex propositions. The idea of frameworks are a powerful alternative - to those meandering meetings and brainstorms that currently don’t get us quite there. These are logic frameworks - proven techniques designed to get at the underlying truth of strategic thinking, transformation development and value creation. http://www.grouppartnerswiki.net/index.php?title=A_To_Z

The Customer-Centered Innovation Map - Sponsored by SAS - Harvard Business Review

We all know that people “hire” products and services to get a job done. Office workers hire word-processing software to create documents and digital recorders to capture meeting notes. Surgeons hire scalpels to dissect soft tissue and electrocautery devices to control patient bleeding. Janitors hire soap dispensers, paper towels, and cleansing fluid to help remove grime from their hands. http://hbr.org/web/special-collections/insight/customers/the-customer-centered-innovation-map#

Musing about sharing and social in business – confused of calcutta

http://confusedofcalcutta.com/2011/04/12/musing-about-sharing-and-social-in-business/ To paraphrase Peter Drucker, the primary purpose of a business is to create customers, people who are able and willing to part with their money to buy goods and services from you. To paraphrase Ronald Coase, the primary purpose of a firm is to reduce business transaction costs, principally the costs of information, search, contracting and enforcement. Words like “sharing” and “social” are often treated as fluffy and ephemeral and Utopian and otherworldly, dismissed as being too pinko-lefty-tree-hugger to make business sense. Which begs the question. What makes business sense?

I grew up with the concept that knowledge is power and that hoarding knowledge could lead to a strong power base in an organization. That's not an unusual view from the recent past and fits a hierarchical structure inside a pre-information age company. In the old structure information generally flowed in one direction and had to pass many choke points. In the days of interoffice mail, bulletin boards, and face to face meetings it's easy to see how information could pool at certain points. All a manager had to do was not pass it along and that effectively created his information hoard.

Raf Keustermans looks at case studies and gauges expert opinion on the latest hot topic. Gamification. The world alone makes some people nervous. Or aggressive. It is one of those terms that is overused to a point where it almost lost its meaning.

Gamification: More to marketing than just a buzzword?

Jive is perhaps one the most recognizable names in the enterprise collaboration space and many would argue that they are miles ahead of the competition. However, a part of me wonders if organizations interested in enterprise collaboration are even ready for Jive yet. One of the keys to success for organizations seeking to deploy these collaborative tools (from the vendor standpoint) is ease of use, intuitiveness, and RELEVANT feature set. It seems as though Jive can do almost anything, but is that really what organizations need or want?

Do Companies Need Vendors Like Jive Software?

Service design can be traced back to the writings of G. Lynn Shostack in the early 80s. [1, 2] Though not new, there is a lot of talk these days about service design. In the past 5 or so years we’ve seen a service design renaissance, so to speak. Literature on service design is thin(ish), relatively speaking (i.e., compared to other disciplines like psychology), but does extend back for decades. The Köln International School of Design (KISD), for one, established service design as a field of study in 1991.
