I recently wrote about the Management Innovation Exchange(MIX) – see Collaborative Innovation at the Management Innovation eXchange (MIX). It is “an open innovation project aimed at reinventing management for the 21st century. The premise: while "modern" management is one of humankind's most important inventions, it is now a mature technology that must be reinvented for a new age.”
One of the MIX initiatives is the Harvard Business Review/McKinsey M-Prize for Management Innovation. There are two types of entries: an instructive case study (a Story) or an experimental design (a Hack). The goals is to show how Web 2.0 values (including transparency, collaboration, meritocracy, openness, community and self-determination) can help overcome the design limits of Management 1.0—and help to create Management 2.0.
We at Darwin Ecosystem have submitted a Hack entry, Liberating Emerging Knowledge: Overthrowing the Pre-determiners. Here is the summary of our Hack: Many current approaches to finding useful meaning within the massive content in Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 are rooted in Management 1.0 thinking. In contrast, the Awareness Engine™ uses content visualizations modeled on human thought to uncover the unexpected in the Web or the enterprise for better informed management decisions.
Take a look and let us know what you think. You can comment on it and/or rate it. Your participation will be appreciated.
