It analyses whether older professionals work in 'old' ways, but looks only at one case. And in this case the 40+ is quite open to work and learn with the younger one. I draw from it that innovation is not hampered if people are open for younger or different employees with different ways of working. But it potentially leads to clashes. Not the technology perse, but the differences in use of the technology and preferencesJoitskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09087406142343521335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18223796.post-1143253819710456742006-03-25T03:30:00.000+01:002006-03-25T03:30:00.000+01:00The title of this post is: Technology: Does 40+ ha...The title of this post is: Technology: Does 40+ hamper innovation? <BR/><BR/>Now that I read it again, I do not understand what is it actually trying to say? In my opinion, Technology might help in some innovations, but innovation does not necessary depends on technology. <BR/><BR/>I think this is the problem with a lot of the discussions going on about innovation. Especially listening to the politicians. Most assume if we are loaded with technologies, we would/could innovate? <BR/><BR/>In order to have 'innovation' 'happens', it needs the right group of people if we are talking about team , right environment, right technologies perhaps but not necessary, right leadership, right moment etc. etc. Without anyone of these items, innovation will have a hard-time to materialize. <BR/><BR/>Innovation is like gardening. Right soil, right plant, right climate, right season ....hoonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07420717810111331458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18223796.post-1143130733960554442006-03-23T17:18:00.000+01:002006-03-23T17:18:00.000+01:00I am just being nasty ... :) as usualWhy then CEO ...I am just being nasty ... :) as usual<BR/><BR/>Why then CEO has secretary to run around for them, sending emails, preparing powerpoint ...??? <BR/><BR/>Another question is: IS FAST means good? Is SLOW better? Sometime in our haste to be FAST, we might miss out plenty of things. <BR/><BR/>I have built relationships both online and offline. Some online relationship disappear once we met because we find that when talking, our 'brains' or mode of conversations are not the same as online, therefore the 'trust' seems to have gone. And these are working relationships, not private. <BR/><BR/>Here is an example. I know a person very well online, he is very well versed in KM, especially CoP. Therefore I insisted to have him as a keynote speaker for a workshop. It turns out that he is not a good speaker. I still trust him, we still are great friends, but I will never trust him to give a presentation again. <BR/><BR/>Cindyhoonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07420717810111331458noreply@blogger.com
