Yesterday I was preparing for an Innovation Management training
session I will be doing later this week. The sponsor, after reviewing my
credentials asked “How you
make the leap from information and knowledge management to coaching/developing
innovation
skills? … Your background seems to be IT.”
I provided what I
hope was not too lengthy a response. In essence it stated that I view
Innovation management as a fully ingrained component of KM, and IT as a
strategic facilitator of both. Its interesting, but to many friends, family and
colleagues my background appears disjointed. To me it is completely synergistic
and intertwined.
