The document discusses tools and strategies for collaborative innovation, including: 1) The idSpace project which aims to develop tools and training for distributed, collaborative product innovation. 2) Determinants of innovative thinking like leveraging existing knowledge and anticipating future needs. 3) Collaborative strategies from computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) like brainstorming, mind mapping, and the jigsaw technique. 4) The need for environments like idSpace that contain integrated toolsets to describe ideas, collaborate, and share resources with extensible pedagogical approaches.

Let’s see what we will see… Our moto: “Collaboration for Innovation” idSpace project: Tooling of and training for collborative, distributed, product innovation What is innovation Determinants of Innovative Thinking Collaborative strategies CSCL environments Concluding remarks http://www.idspace-project.org/
- 3. What Is Innovation (2/2)? Innovation is transformation of existing knowledge and ideas into new or better commercial product that add value to the customer.” (Carter Evans & Koop 1990) Innovation could have a composite definition: a process whereby a new idea is conceived and detailed in the mind, developed into a physical entity through detailed design, analysis, experimentation, and production, and then introduced to give a company a competitive edge .

- 5. Determinants of Innovative Thinking A means of generating innovation is to achieve three objectives: make best use of and/or improve what we have today determine what we will need tomorrow and how we can best achieve it, to avoid the “ Dinasaur syndrome ” Generate new knowledge Knowledge is preserved and transmitted among colleagues Knowledge creation is the result of collaborative process. Collaboration for Innovation
- 6. Collaborative strategies Strategies like brainstorming & Mind mapping encourages open and random creative thinking and communications Six thinking hats is an intuitive way to keep one’s thoughts focused while problem solving Strategies like Jigsaw, TAPS advocate that there is no collaboration without communication Groups need not only communication, but also share information, resources and knowledge http://gsic.tel.uva.es/collage

- 9. Conclusions Innovation is characterised by an intensive collaborative process generating and exploring various ideas that should contribute to the solution of a particular problem We need to change the way that we teach Add/Adopt collaborative strategies into the existing teaching approaches We need environments like the idSpace environment that will: Contain an integrated toolset which will be used to describe ideas, goals, features, to collaborate/communicate & share resources. Exhibit extensible, informal, pluggable pedagogical approaches.

Introduction Computer-Supported Collaborative Activities for Innovative Product Development Social interactions as key element for creativity Unfocused activities and free collaboration does not necessarily produce innovation Need for effective structured designs of collaborative situations Need to train people how to collaborate Ideas from CSCL strategies Creativity strategies

Tasks to support creativity Searching and browsing digital libraries, the Web, and other resources Visualizing data and processes to understand and discover relationships Consulting with peers and mentors for intellectual and emotional support Thinking by free associations to make new combinations of ideas Exploring solutions—What-if tools and simulation models Composing artifacts and performances step-by-step Reviewing and replaying session histories to support reflection Disseminating results to gain recognition and add to the searchable resources Shneiderman, B. 2002.

Editor's Notes
- #4: When I looked up the word “Innovation” in several different dictionaries, I found that even dictionaries weren’t all in agreement on what the word actually meant. To avoid showing preferential treatment of one dictionary over another, in the remainder of my presentation, I will use a composite definition for innovation:.... That being understood, the next question is to ask what is Innovative Thinking?
