Our world has always been changing, sometimes rather gradually, at other times more radically. In today’s world, we see both tremendous challenges and potential to shape it in a new and desirable direction. In almost every domain of our lives we are challenged by high levels of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguousness (“VUCA world”)....
We are facing huge changes and challenges in today´s hypercomplex and high-speed world (e. g., in terms of economy, climate change, new technologies, migration, etc.). How can we understand these changes and how should we deal with them in a sustainable and thriving manner? It will be shown that it is not sufficient to just react to these changes i...
The demands on managing an organization have changed dramatically over the last decades. Besides classical tasks, such as planning or controlling, modern management has to cope with a hyper-complex world; both inside an organization and in relation to its systemic environment. We have to re-think management in the light of managing uncertainty and...
Nowadays a huge number of events are offered worldwide that aim at exchanging and generating knowledge. They come in many different formats and sizes: conferences, conventions, and other forms of meetings try to meet the expectations of their target audiences. While they all differ in detail and scope, on a deeper level they also share specific cor...

We assume that if you are reading this book then you probably also know how to organize an event like a conference or convention. You are, no doubt, also familiar with the main ingredients for success: a distinguished keynote speaker, interesting and lively presentations, good food, vibrant networking breaks, and a relaxing, e...
Um die Zukunftsfähigkeit eines Unternehmens zu sichern, muss der Arbeitsplatz der Zukunft ein Workspace für Wissens- und Innovationsarbeiter sein. In diesem Beitrag wird gezeigt, wie Innovation, Wissen, Organisation und Raum beziehungsweise Büro zusammenhängen. Ausgehend von einer Darstellung des Konzeptes der Innovation wird deutlich, dass kogniti...
»Wissen verändert« – so lautete das Motto der Kremser Wissensmanagement-Tage 2014. Dieses Leitthema betrifft viele Aspekte der Wissensgesellschaft und wurde in der Tagung von verschiedenen
Seiten diskutiert. Ist die Vorstellung vom Lernenden Unternehmen mehr als eine Utopie, wie ticken die Wissensarbeiter der Generation Y, wie können Unternehmen in...
This paper is about designing spaces enabling processes of collaborative knowledge creation and innovation. It is a theoretical paper on the role of artifacts as enablers for creating new knowledge. We refer to these artifacts as Enabling Spaces comprising an architectural, technological (ICT), social, cognitive, organizational, cultural, as well a...
At the core of Wilson et al.'s paper stands the question of intentional change. We propose to extend this notion by introducing concepts from the domains of innovation and knowledge creation. By going beyond their "acceptance and commitment therapy" approach we present a comprehensive framework for a theory of change culminating in the change strat...
As opposed to managing or controlling innovation processes, this paper proposes the notion of enabling as a more suitable approach to innovation. As a consequence, the concept of Enabling Spaces is introduced as a space that is designed in such a way that it enables and facilitates processes of collaborative knowledge creation and innovation. In th...
This paper introduces the concept of enabling, as opposed to managing or controlling, as a key characteristic and attitude for designing spaces which are supposed to have a ‘branding effect’. In our case we will focus on a very specific notion of branding or branded spaces; namely, spaces that are branded for creating (new) knowledge. It can be see...
One of the big challenges in the field of innovation is to create something radically new and at the same time something that has been "waited for," although nobody has explicitly known or seen it, something that-despite its newness-appears just in the right time at the right place ("kairos") and organically fits in the existing environment (be it...
Hand, Hirn und Werkzeug - eine komplexe Interaktion. Dieser aus der Architekturpraxis initiierte Band untersucht aus der Perspektive verschiedener Wissensdisziplinen, inwiefern die manuelle Intelligenz des Menschen kreative Prozesse befördert. Besteht in Zeiten programmierter Umgebungen ein Widerspruch zwischen instrumentellem Handeln und intuitive...
Innovation has become one of the key drivers for growth. However, how do we bring about innovation which is both radical and respects the limits of the world? One of our key assumptions is that we have to take into consideration the epistemological and cognitive processes leading to (radically) new knowledge first. We propose an approach that estab...
Innovation has become one of the most important issues in modern knowledge society. As opposed to radical innovation this paper introduces the concept of Emergent Innovation: this approach tries to balance and integrate the demand both for radically new knowledge and at the same time for an organic development from within the organization. From a m...
This paper introduces an alternative approach to innovation: Emergent Innovation. As opposed to radical innovation Emergent Innovation finds a balance and integrates the demand both for radically new knowledge and at the same time for an organic development from within the organization. From a knowledge management perspective one can boil down this...
Die Adaption von Techniken und Verfahren des Semantic Web für Inhouse-Lösungen adressiert neben dem Themenkreis Enterprise
Information Integration (EII) zumeist neue Handlungsoptionen für das Wissensmanagement, die über den derzeit am öftesten diskutierten
Anwendungsfall „intelligente Suchmaschine“ beträchtlich hinausgehen. In diesem Beitrag werden...
