Inovācijas un tehnoloģiju marketings

ESF projekta konference Vidzemes jūrmalā, Salacgrīvā 2008.g. 24,-25. jūlijā. programma
Vadīt zināšanas un vadīt vispār nozīmē ļoti smalki un prasmīgi strādāt ar cilvēka, sabiedrības un ekonomiskajām sistēmām, kuras ir tikai daļēji izprastas. Taču mums vajag tās vadīt un ietekmēt, lai veidotu to uzvedību un augstu darba izpildījumu - virzītu tās tuvāk noteikto mērķu sasniegšanai un nākotnes iecerēm.

Plašas vadīšanas spējas, kas būtu piemērotas mūsdienu izaicinājumiem, ir vajadzīgas visos līmeņos. Jaunas profesionālas spējas – spējas zināšanu vadīšanā kļūst par sastāvdaļu vadīšanas procesos uzņēmējdarbībā, valsts institūcijās, mācību iestādēs un citur.

Zināšanas un citi intelektuālā kapitāla resursi, nevis informācija, padara iespējamu augstu izpildījumu. Cilvēki un viņu darbības nosaka organizāciju un sabiedrības panākumus vai neveiksmes. Šajā kontekstā mūsu spējas darboties efektīvi (darīt pareizas lietas un darīt pareizas lietas pareizi) ietekmē galvenokārt mūsu personīgās zināšanas, izpratne, attieksme un ticība, citi mums pieejamie mentālie veidojumi organizāciju / uzņēmumu mērķorientēto darbību vietā un laikā.

foresight latviski lietojam - forsaits

Ir daudz paveikts forsaita izpētes un pielietošanas jomā Latvijā 2003.-2007.g. Speciālistu darbā ir pieņemts lietot latviešu vārdu forsaits, jo bez tā iztikt nav iespējams. Pastāv Eiropas forsaita telpa, tiek realizēti starptautiskie un nacionālie forsaita projekti, notiek forsaita zināšanu apguve Latvijas universitātēs.

Valodnieki, kas nav forsaita speciālisti, protams, var domāt pēc saviem ieskatiem. Sk. par LZA Terminoloģijas komisijas sēdi. http://termini.lza.lv/article.php?id=222

Vārdus un jēdzienus mēs izvēlamies savam darbam XXI gs. zināšanu sabiedrībā.
Pastāv inovācijas un jauninājumi, pastāv forsaits pasaulē un Latvijā.

Methods for foresight project/exercise

Let' s imagine what methods we need in order to execute a foresight project or exercise -
and firstly
  • to think about, debate, find, identify, invent, choose a theme/topic for the foresight (a client makes decision)

A foresight could be in / for a ministry, S&T council, government institution, department, sector of industry, business company, R&D, a field of knowledge, policies, learning and education objectives, etc.

A foresight project or exercise can be 'open foresight', including different kinds of stakeholders, consumers, customers, public and non-governmental sector, etc., looking for innovative solutions and addressing (possible, preferable) futures in inter- and transdisciplinary research and activities, knowledge work.

Futures for regions, the toolkit available

About the project, a link http://www.futurreg.net/project.html

"FUTURREG is designed to have significant long-term impacts for regional development policies, especially by ensuring that policies - and regional development organisations - are informed by high-quality futures tools and participatory processes, including Environmental Scanning, Trend Analysis, Scenarios, Visionary Management and Delphi.

The FUTURREG inter-regional value comes from bringing the knowledge and proven successes of the partners together - to produce a regional futures toolkit that can also be applied in other EU regions. The project will not construct a new set of tools but will bring together the approaches used successfully by the partners within their regions in one toolkit."
