"FORWARD to a bright FUTURE"
Quirky Crowd Surfing Town Meeting on the web
February 17

David's Linkedin Comment today
Topic : Future for Social Networks in Innovation
•
Hello Stephen.
I attended at 30 minutes notice a "Town Meeting" IN USA from Australia
last week. When I followed the links I found a screen spilt by tabs
between an AV of 12 people sitting behind a table answering questions
about commercialisation at about 20 per minute. The other parts of the
screen was either a chat session or the questions flow at my choice.
Each was from 4600 members of crowdsourcer Quirky.com who were the
audience who were also chatting between themselves at about 30 posts per
minute.
It was chaotic, fast paced, no time to dwell on one
question or idea before the next five were on the table and several
responses to the first idea and it was very impressive.
Quirky is
a very direct commercialisation line for inventors and individuals with
good ideas. Quirky members see a list of maybe 20 ideas submitted by
individuals. They vote on those they like.
The three with the most votes
come back for interaction and suggstions by the members. Members
receive points and inventors chosen by the crowd receive crowd funding
dollars as the crowd chooses.
But the big winners are those good idea
submitters who are chosen by retailers to purchase by one or more of big
USA retailers. I am not sure if the retailers also fund
commercialisation to POS packaging etc. I have seen similar non e based
ideas in UK like the Liberty weekends.
I am sure that our future
planning must allow for this free wheeling process. I do not think it
would work so well for Innovation in a company or Research
commercialisation.
But it was a wonderful experience and a great look
into many futures.

Nancy's Story of her invention and commercialisation of the Snap It screw.
Nancy has agreed I can use the fabulous story of her invention and commercialisation of the Snap It Screw for easy repair of reading glasses hinges. Nancy sent some samples of the SnapIt Kit in its Point of Sale packaging. We used one screw from the five in the kit to repair Erica Kelly's eye glasses at her offices Box Hill two weeks ago. Must be the first use of Nancy's commercialised inventiion in Australia. It worked very well.
Nancy's story is now (Feb 16) in our downloads as a free gift. Please go to the Engine Room page and download it. I think you will like it a lot. =======================================

Ljnkedin Innovation Management Group comment recently
offers "Flexible Commercialization for Inventors, Innovators and Researchers”. It
delivers as workshops or projects.
Core ideas in the business.
·
Inventors are Individuals who are uniquely creative.
Inventors create
in a freer situation than Innovators and Researchers
They must defend
that. It is a challenge to work with the organisation they need to commercialize
their great ideas. I expect each does not like that much.
Innovators and Researchers are member of Organisatons where Innovation and Research Management are established
parts of what they do.
Innovators organisations use fewer rules and procedures than the more bureaucratic organisations where
Researchers work. Both need Entrepreneurial skills.
We are all members of organisations.
Work roles
often inhibit Innovators and Researchers
more than Inventors.
I think Innovators commercialize more times. The private sector organisations are more flexible and informal
than public sector organisations
I think all
research organizations suffer their existence from grant to grant but their research outcomes are more thorough.
Industries are
made up of organisations serving the
same customers with
o
Slightly
different technologies,
o
Different
products serving the same needs and
o
Very different
"price - quality" points i.e. different features that benefit
different market segments in different ways.
Hence the Competition in Industries.
·
Organisations in Industries cooperate as well as compete
I think we can increase or decrease the cooperation in an
industry just like changing one organisation. It need not intrude on the
competition for customers and sales.
I expect that sometime I will get to do this. Maybe we can
launch new technology in a new industry
with multiple start ups of say 3 or 5 cooperating and competing
organisations. If I am right this industry will start easier and last a lot
longer in its lifecycles.
Thanks for the opportunity to comment.
