Innovation Deployment

Posted on February 25, 2014March 13, 2015 by PAshton

What is it? Organisational innovation and deployment is the mechanism by which organisational improvements (both incremental and disruptive) are selected and deployed enabling the organisation to meet its quality and performance ambitions, enhancing the value-added to their stakeholders and clients.

What it is not? Innovation deployment is not a process to develop new ideas or applications.

What’s different afterwards? An established and standardised process to monetise good ideas, thus having a way to get commercial value from novel adaptations and innovative applications.

What is it? Knowledge management is an approach that capitalises on the knowledge and business experience embedded in the workforce, management, business processes and systems.

What it is not? Knowledge management is not is a ‘better / cleverer filing system’ – IT is always involved but is never the solution.

What’s different afterwards? An open environment that enables and motivates individuals to access, share and build on each other’s expertise and experience.

PMO

Posted on February 25, 2014March 13, 2015 by PAshton

What is it? A PMO is a structure and a function that allows an organisation to channel political and financial capacity into its programme and project management community in a manner similar to how it deals with its operational units.

What it is not? PMOs are not project administration groups, personal assistants taking minutes and booking meeting rooms.

What’s different afterwards? Depending on the needs and interest of the different stakeholder groups in the organisation the PMO offers control of the projects, guidance in the conduct of projects, and decision-support in the selection and management of the project portfolio.
