stellen Wissen ein

Suche nach Bestandteilen der Lösung

Motivation durch:

• Externe “Zwänge“

• Erwartungswert einer potentiellen Abfrage der Informationen durch ein Unternehmen

• Reputationserhöhung

Annahme über einen Lösungsweg:

• Zugriff nur auf bekannte Wissensbasis

• Unterliegt „local search bias“ bei Suche / Evaluation

• Motivation durch „Not Invented Here“ begrenzt

Incentives for transfer- Part of grant contract

- Expected value of potential demand of knowledge by a firm

- Increasing reputation

Search for research in universities etc.- Screening of usual suspects

- Using existing networks

- Local search bias

- Transfer often stopped by "Not-invented-here"

Vision for JRC/ TTO

Scenario 1: Knowledge Management within the TTO networkA specific TTO is working on a program and requires specific knowledge, capabilities or capacity that is not available inside the TTO

Posting the need can be done on three levels:

-Closed team room: Within a predefined, invitation only team room-Closed within network: Within the TTO only trusted network -Open platform: Within the global NineSights environment-Open broadcast: Within the Open Global Innovation Network (Using active Ninesigma involvement)


Environment: Separate instance for TTO

Proposal is to create a separate system instance for the TTO’s

-For entire network of TTO partners (all researchers and colleagues)-To post capabilities, technologies and IP-To post Non Confidential Needs -Facilitated community management -Like a protected and facilitated “Innovation Linkedin”
