Tools
Knowledge Federation's value proposition to IT tool builders is that systemic innovation (1) is a natural way to develop technology and (2) a way to open up some of the largest markets to technology. Systemic innovation is also a way to apply the power IT to contemporary problematique.
The tools listed here are all developed by KF collaborators or stakeholders: DebateGraph, Induct Software and WikiDiario.
Knowledge Federation's value proposition to its IT / knowledge work tool builders is socio-technical system design (alias 'systemic innovation') – design of large-scale systemic solutions for key areas in knowledge work where the technologies have a natural application. The benefits are obvious – new markets open up, where the technology is used to enable new ways of working (instead of as an add-on to old ones).
Knowledge Federation undertakes to develop what we might call a 'natural' approach to IT innovation – where instead of focusing on tools, we focus on function, then develop systemic solutions that best implement the function – and then the tools, to implement the basic building blocks in those systems.
An added value is, of course, applying the power of IT to facilitate systemic change (read: solutions to global issues, or sustainability).
In this project we have been fortunate to collaborate with three technical groups that are in the forefront of key technical developments: DebateGraph, Induct Software and WikiDiario. Click the corresponding nodes for details.
