Innovative Creative Thinking and Technology (ICT-T)

Never before has there been such rapid change in business models and such demand for technology, innovation, flexibility and adaptation.

Companies are being accused of being seduced by the latest ICT application technology driven by a fast paced and changing business environment. But this technology is no different to that of the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century. Critics then also sighted the word seduction, but without that significant change we would not be experiencing the things and tools we have come to relie on in life today. ICT systems and technology are no different, its just that we can now deal with, articulate, report on and share larger chunks of information and knowledge through new innovative communication systems and networks. Could you live without modern transport and communication systems?

Differentiating between creativity and innovation understand the difference

The former creates a lot of ideas and the latter lots of business, the creator create ideas innovators take them to market.

1. just because you are creative does not mean you are innovative
2. just because you can think deeply and creatively does it mean you will think the right things?
3. just because you are innovative does not mean you have an innovation strategy
4. solid innovation strategies are collaborative (concept to production)
5. creativity can be singular or collaborative – but you need a collaborative group of more than one person to take the creative concept and to innovate it

However you could argue that one leads the other, the external environment forces (pulls) the need for technological advancement (innovation) and this breeds creativity. On the other hand creative flair creates a product that is then pushed into the market place through innovative processes (including innovative marketing strategies) – often it’s not the product that is innovative it’s the process and marketing strategy that is.

Knowledge Management

KM is the cross-disciplinary, enterprise-wide management (creation, storing, disseminating, etc) of knowledge processes, aligned with Strategic Objectives to support and improve performance and productivity. Knowledge Management Systems are the starting point in which other structures, assessment of knowledge, competence management and talent management form the core components. The starting point should therefore begin with Knowledge Management in the context of forming a Human Capital Strategy from which other important elements and activities would flow.

Competence Management Frameworks Systems and Innovation (Assessment of Organizations and People)

Does your organisation struggle to maintain modern competency models in a cost-effective way within changing external and internal environments? Is it taking too long to go from competency performance improvement model to business application? Are you seeking a methodology and systems that will enable open communication and strategic alignment throughout your organisation? Do you want to develop a set of strategic, core corporate or team competencies or values? Have you a set of company competencies or values you want to embed or manage throughout your organisation? Jasper International can supply the know-how training and platform technology to meet these needs and deploy them across your organisation - small or large.

Competency (skills, behaviour, knowledge, experience and values) statements are a highly descriptive language that communicates strategy and performance improvement required of people in an organisation. They convert potentially disaffected members of the workforce into measurable and therefore manageable human capital. Once people become human capital the bias, familiarity and subjectivity towards them can be replaced by a fairer, more dispassionate, objective and efficient method of channelling their power. Using competencies to define human capital through role profiles enables all gaps between current and required state to be identified and addressed. Individual gaps are aggregated as an organisational capital risk. This gap becomes the liability on the corporate human capital balance sheet. It also defines what must be addressed to achieve business performance improvement.

We specialise in the latest cost effective state of the art competence management, recruitment and business development tools geared to today's HC and business professionals (we are your b2b innovative partners).
