PROSPECTS IN MANAGERIAL INNOVATION
In a “VUCA” (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous) world, turned on its head by digital technology and new practices, at a time when companies are pressured to innovate to survive, transformation is essential and managerial innovation is becoming a major issue.
In addition, new practices abound, such as the development of learning networks, creative approaches, collaborative and empowering modes of work, liberated companies, and new workspaces. But what does innovation in management mean when much has already been done? And when not everything appears to be transposable? Which route should we adopt? How should we proceed?
The ambition of the CIME is to contribute to understanding and action by helping its members answer these questions via a systemic and critical method ranging beyond the observation of practices. In what way is an approach innovative? What impact does it have on the organization, on its notion of performance, on human resources, skill management, and the support given to managers?
How can the notion of the intention or the capacity to innovate in management be taken into consideration? And how do we go about carrying out transformations in the contexts of individual companies?
FROM THE MANAGEMENT OF EXPERTS TO THE MANAGEMENT OF EXPERTISE
Globalisation of research, the growing influence of the market, the need to optimize costs, and the increasing need to innovate, seriously challenges the traditional research in the management of expertise, placing it within a specific field on a par with that of management research. Hybridization is becoming necessary for the empowerment of experts in business strategies and of HR directors in discussions on expertise, for the development of career paths favouring “mixed” profiles, and for achieving a balance between R&D at global and local levels.
The prevailing notion today is to think of the management of expertise in terms of a three-pronged dynamic approach:
Strategy => Management of expertise => Management of experts
Such an approach leads to organizational, managerial and HRM consequences in identifying strategic areas of expertise, anticipating the necessary skills, finding a balance between the challenges for the various actors (technical, HR, business), and promoting the creative potential of experts.
It is CIME Expertise’s ambition to explore and innovate to help companies face up to these challenges!
