Photos © Zander Olsen Link via Urhajos How Much Does Ideas Management Really Contribute to Innovation? The crowdsourcing of ideas was the radical new approach to innovation a few short years ago and technology platforms to support idea generation and ideas management have been growing in popularity. There are, however, question marks over what they actually contribute to innovation. The world of ideas management c2010 In the early 2000s ideas management was still heady stuff. “Just imagine! Only a few years later, these once-“revolutionary” approaches have begun to seem tired. Today’s innovation managers are well versed in collaboration – they know exactly how to launch fresh ideation campaigns. When you take a hard look at today’s innovation methodologies and tools (including those we have developed at Imaginatik), it’s hard not to came away feeling unimpressed.

Wide Angle » The Open Innovation Toolbox We often think of open innovation as one technique, when in fact it represents a range of techniques that serve different purposes. These techniques fall along a spectrum from the most open (anyone can submit any idea, the crowd selects the best) to the least open (pre-screened experts submit ideas on a specific problem, the company selects the best). Three choices determine which tool you end up with: 1) who to include, 2) what to ask, and 3) how to select answers. Answers to these questions will depend on your objectives: are you trying to boost engagement, solve an urgent challenge, or understand the most widespread customer needs? Jeffrey Phillips at Ovo Innovation recently built a typology of open innovation, based on different approaches to idea collection (who is asked and what they are asked). 1. 2. 3. 4. Just as idea collection methods vary, different evaluation and selection methods also serve distinct purposes.

Welcome to Appropedia Sci-Fi Tech: New Adobe Plugin Removes Photo Blur | Gadget Lab Adobe's new deblurring algorithm is like something out of science fiction There are two things that work with photos in sci-fi movies that still don’t work in real life. One is saying “enhance” to your computer and having it magically zoom in and conjure new pixels from nowhere. And the other one is removing the blur from an image. Thanks to the brainiacs at Adobe, the next version of Photoshop may actually take care of the second one. Above you see the before/after results of the new deblur tool (click to see it full-sized). Then this information is used to correct the blur. If you can stomach some idiot actor trying to be funny and heckling the poor technician who demoes the tool, you might like to watch the video of it in action. The tech might be too far off to make it into the next version of Photoshop, but at least it has made it into the near future, instead of the far-future of movies.
