“Innovation”What does it mean in your cluster?
What does your cluster do to leverage knowledge to enable innovation?

There are differences between
Product & service innovationProcess innovationBusiness model innovation

Myth busting innovation
Most organisations innovate because: – They have to– Customers demand more and …– New technology – Competitors innovated– Serendipity
Most organisations innovate mainly incrementally driven by imitation – – not in the DNA of many
Often about learning & adjustment & recombination– Not ONLY about design

Knowledge < information < data
Data is measured or observed numbers, words, etc
Information is data arranged in meaningful patterns
Knowledge is beliefs, commitment, perspectives and action of individuals, teams and organisations – It is how we make sense of
information so that we can use it
“Any fool can know. The point is to understand.” - Einstein

Codified Knowledge
Codified or explicit knowledge – Captured in routines, stories,
official documents, guidelines…– Copied, translated and adapted– Flows between organisations &
societies– The dynamics in a cluster can
be measured by how codified knowledge flows
![Page 9: TCI 2016 Leveraging knowledge for firms and clusters](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58f292da1a28abea538b4571/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Tacit Knowledge
Tacit knowledge – Harder to explain or capture – Harder to detect, individuals might not even know they
have it– Transmitted or shared based on trust– Combination of natural talent, past experience, prior
codified knowledge shaped in the environment

Knowledge creation by tinkering & experimentation
To do 21/10/2016: Find a better way to
get results Collect evidence Compare results
![Page 11: TCI 2016 Leveraging knowledge for firms and clusters](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58f292da1a28abea538b4571/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Knowledge creation by deductive reasoning (thinking, reading, research)
To Do 21/10/2016: Read the manual Think through
simulation Can we try this in a
lab?

Gaining knowledge through purposeful interaction with others
To Do 21/10/2016: Are we the first to ask this question? What do others call this? Who else could help us? Speak to Mr. Guru

Knowledge creation by tinkering & experimentation
Which factors promote this form of knowledge creation in your unit?
Which factors inhibit this form of knowledge creation in your unit?Tinkering and
experimentation
Deductive reasoning, research
Collaborating, engaging with others

Three conclusions about knowledge and innovation
![Page 15: TCI 2016 Leveraging knowledge for firms and clusters](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58f292da1a28abea538b4571/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
www.mesopartner.com 15
Conclusion: Knowledge
Tacit knowledge creation starts at the level of individuals, and then gets taken up by the
environment. Codified knowledge often exists in environment,
and then works its way back to individuals
![Page 16: TCI 2016 Leveraging knowledge for firms and clusters](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58f292da1a28abea538b4571/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Conclusion: Innovation
Purposefully expanding, increasing, (re)combining knowledge is central to innovation.
This is can be done by tinkering, deduction and collaborating with others that have different
knowledge

Conclusion: Environment
Individuals and teams can turn knowledge into innovation when the environment enables it. Improving this environment is an ongoing
process which in itself requires innovation!
