Founded in 1938, we lead and advance the field of innovation management by creating contemporary practices. Some of the world’s most widely adopted models – such as “open innovation,” “front end of innovation,” and “stage-gate” – were born from the work of our members.

Happy to have Mika Ruokonen and Paavo Ritala publish their work on metaverse strategy in the revamped Managers@Work format. Their article is an interesting read. Managers@Work is peer-reviewed and targeted at practitioner authors (alone or working with academic co-authors) with an #innovation or R&D story to tell. Get in touch with the RTM editor Yat Ming Ooi to discuss potential ideas.
Happy to share our new publication w/ Mika Ruokonen in Research-Technology Management! ☑ Getting the ‘Why, What, and How’ Right About Your Metaverse Strategy ☑ The paper is published in the "Managers@Work" -category in the journal, which means it is written in a practitioner-oriented way, and includes a lot of practical insight and examples. I believe anything related to metaverse requires a very pragmatic approach. We saw the metaverse hype cycle come and go around the years 2021-22, and we are left with practical opportunities and barriers. We need to move beyond the hype and get concrete. While the metaverse hype has eased (and AI-hype has entered), companies are still gradually virtualizing and digitalizing their assets, operations, and products. The direction of the development is clear, even if the pace and visibility vary as trends and discussions change. So how to start a metaverse strategy - or a set of strategic initiatives in increasing the virtual engagement of the company with its staff and customers, for instance? In our paper we propose three alternative strategic processes (in the figure): 🔷 Mission-driven: This is what Facebook did by changing its name to Meta Platforms, and really doubling down with massive investments. Was it successful... is a different story that is yet to be determined :) 🔷 Experimentation-driven: Pilots, trials, task-forces. Typical way to reduce risk, but examine opportunities. Many companies have trialed e.g. being featured in virtual worlds such as Roblox, or by organizing VR exhibitions of their products to their key customers. 🔷 Synergy-seeking: This approach would be organic development where the digital development is gradually extended to also virtual spaces, and over time engagement with different devices and interfaces (for staff, partners, customers etc). We can see such development happening gradually e.g. with virtual engineering, remote meetings, and personnel onboarding.

Excited to announce the publication of my latest article in the Research-Technology Management (RTM) journal: "Rhetorical or Genuine Slack Time? Temporal Attributes, Barriers, and Outcomes of Slack Time." The article is forthcoming in RTM's Sept/Oct issue, but is already pre-published online: https://lnkd.in/eXTrwaC2 This piece represents the second in a three-part, single-authored series exploring slack time in companies and its impact on innovation. Building on the literature review from the first article, this empirical study delves into the temporal attributes, barriers, and outcomes of slack time, grounded in real practitioner experiences. A heartfelt thank you to Innovation Research Interchange for supporting this research, and to Research-Technology Management (RTM) for helping disseminate the findings. I love publishing in Research-Technology Management (RTM) because it's a high-quality, peer-reviewed journal read by practitioners in innovation, R&D, and technology management. It's the perfect platform for bridging academic research with real-world application. Special appreciation goes to Tammy McCausland, Lee Novak Green, and Yat Ming Ooi for their invaluable assistance. I'm honored to have contributed insights on slack time to Jim Euchner's recent Forbes article 'A Magical Slack Time Machine.' The piece explores how generative AI can create valuable slack time in organizations. Thank you to Jim Euchner and Forbes for highlighting this important topic and including my perspective. Stay tuned for the final article in this series, which will focus on successfully implementing slack time programs in organizations. #InnovationManagement #SlackTime #OrganizationalCreativity #ResearchPublication
