5 Best Practices for Structured Social Business Collaboration

Description

Session Description
Looking to reinvent management and foster innovation at your organization? Enterprise social networking should be at the top of your must-do list.

The Management Innovation eXchange (MiX) is an open innovation project aimed at reinventing management for the 21st century. The MiX community recently piloted a “Hackathon”-an experiment in open collaboration and global ideation. The Hackathon supports collective work over individual contribution, bringing management experts from far-flung locations together in a social community.
In this Webinar, Michele Zanini, business architect at MiX, and Chris Grams, community guide for the MiX Hackathon, will share five best practices for structuring a global ideation effort, including:
Phase 1: Orientation and aspiration setting
Phase 2: Identification of specific root causes
Phase 3: Early “hacking” (or idea generation)
Phase 4: Refining the best hacks
Phase 5: Execution and dissemination
