Identifying Innovation Hubs In Your Organization

April 7, 2010

One of our clients used Keyhubs to understand how innovation was happening in their organization.  Quickly, they were able to see that new ideas centered around a few key individuals (22, 64 and 63).  Interestingly, these employees were not collaborating with each other.  Employee 70 was a source of collaborative invention (mutual connections between several different people); however, quite removed from the other innovative hubs in the firm.

Mapping keyhubs can give managers an effective strategy to quicken, stabilize and diffuse innovation within their company.
