Bernard Lunn's blog post at ReadWriteWeb.com discusses the evolution of "innovation management" and how social media has a significant role to play. Lunn theorizes that we are moving toward a path where social media might enable a third wave of innovation management, or, "Innovation 3.0," which he outlines as:
Leveraging social media. The potential exists to get the best of both the 1.0 and 2.0 worlds. The 1.0 internal R&D labs did not suffer integration issues but usually missed the big innovation opportunities that were achieved by acquiring start-ups. Social media offers the alluring possibility of harnessing outside innovation without the integration issues.
Lunn also describes his version of Innovation 1.0 and 2.0.
