Thought Ignition Paper Series (TIPS)

Building Highly Effective Idea Management Systems with Living System Principles

How to build effective and sustainable idea management systems, while dealing with the inherent complexity and unpredictable nature of ideas and innovation? A fundamental question crops up – are there structured ways in which complex systems can survive and thrive? Here we can take inspiration from living systems – cells, organisms, ecosystems, organizations, societies etc. 

Emergence of Strategic Collaboration

Rules of the game in a changing world are dynamic. Winning actors in a changing world have higher degree of inertia to adapt to the new world. A strategy and viewpoint of simultaneous collaboration and competition is a must to explore the new world. The emergence of strategic collaboration in a changing world is definite.How can you craft strategic collaboration? Secondly, do you use thought experiments as a means to understand the world?

Customer Value: The Unknown Fundamental

Customer value is one of the least understood business concepts and yet fundamental to every business. It is always – always important to start with the ecosystem in the form of value net of the business, before locking on to key customer needs. 

The Strong IP Imperative for Entrepreneurs

It is especially important for entrepreneurs to note that just getting a patent is not sufficient, since they do not have the financial muscle or the luxury of a portfolio of patents to start with. One has to get a strong patent. Strengthening the idea/invention up front is the best guarantee for a strong patent.

What is your Innovation Quotient?

Innovation is one of the least understood business concepts and yet fundamental to every business. How to make you, your team and your company innovative?With Innovation Quotient as defined in this Crafitti TIP our clients can understand their innovation potential and use this for their teams, organizations and eco-system at large.

The Future of Teamwork: Orchestra or Jazz?

They say that teamwork is all about synchronization – multiple people working hand-in-hand and marching step-in-step to achieve a common goal. What rhythms do teams use to synchronize? The defining characteristic of the new world is speed, not weight - continued success needs innovation, collaboration, adaptation, improvisation and evolution. Will new world teams choose orchestra or jazz?
