Building self-organising teams for innovation Hierarchies and control as an organisational technique inhibit the potential for innovation in workplace teams. Empowering teams to sense, respond and act underpins active collaboration and pre-conditions for innovative teams, especially in complex working environments. 2. Designing digital (social platform) innovation strategies Commonly used in medium and large organisations, enterprise social networks offer a unique opportunity to connect workforces to business needs and market drivers. However, digital social innovation requires an understanding of what engages us on social networks as well as how to create appropriate content for these channels to ensure any innovation strategy will have a greater chance of success. 3. Building collaborative behaviours that underpin innovation Innovation that arrives from structured or spontaneous means is largely served by active collaboration between people and teams. Understanding what makes good teams thrive and how to start creative conversations is essential when planning innovation programs, campaigns and actions. 4. Mapping innovation facilitation to virtual channels Facilitating innovation involves setting an environment and starting conversations that promote ideation. Here we explore the different focus that virtual channels require to compensate for the lack of in-person interaction.
