Reinvention Prevention

An interview by Dan Keldsen at BizTechTalk.com, with Stan Garfield, who leads the Worldwide Knowledge Management program in HP's Services arm.

HP's tagline is "invent" - but in the quest to invent, are cycles, resources, time, and money being wasted reinventing existing solutions?

Stan's longtime drive is to ensure that information becomes knowledge, and that knowledge is shared, to explicitly enable application of existing inventions, and as needed, new inventions, in the services/consulting work that he and his global team are involved in.

This conversation came about as a result of a recommendation that I speak with Stan after I'd posted a question on LinkedIn Answers wondering whether Innovation Management and Knowledge Management were the same, a subset, or superset of each other. Great material here - listen in, and join the conversation at www.BizTechTalk.com!

Dan -
Excellent interview; got me thinking about ways of expanding and improving the method by which I 'invent'.
Thanks a lot!

Innovation Management and Knowledge Management is a subset with each other because knowledge to be innovative in management goes togehter.

Thanks and just wanna share a good roofing experience i had with Commercial Roofing | Residential Roofing ...

Rick - thanks for the commentary, and glad to hear this helped to spark some ideas on invention for you.

We're going to have to slate some time to hear your story on this front, with all of your patents in hand, and the wide variety of work you've done, thee is certainly plenty to talk about!

Best,
Dan
