In reply to Tim Woods.

Thanks Tim, entering into the building of Innovation capital initially seems hard but once people get ‘it’ it begins to build in focus and momentum. ROI is as you know the best measure of something new and unproven and causes one of the constant problems to stop good innovations seeing the light of day. There are other ways of measuring but the acceptance of change in the way to judge needs a shift. Its a hard path sometimes to travel when ROI is so entrenched.
I like inputs, flow-through and outputs / outcomes- all have benefits to measure but building measures for measurement sake becomes the ‘creeping’ risk.
Fixed the broken link ,thanks for pointing this out.

Hi Paul – I like the ideas here. It does indeed seem hard for companies to build real communities of knowledge, but it’s inevitable that this must happen.
We often hear debates as to whether ‘social’ tools generate an ROI. But frankly the discussion is pointless, it’s simply a new way of working which we need to adapt to. Companies need to open the channels for people to collaborate more, even if there is no immediate ROI to be measured. The benefit is in the possibilities of exchange.
It’s a good question regarding how to know what your innovation capital is. Should we be measuring the input, or the output. Traditionally we just measure the output, and judge a company to be innovative based on what it produces in that category.
P.S. The link to the Horizon 2020 EU page is broken, needs a colon after http.
