Powering Digital Innovation
Industries
are reforming in creative ways, challenging companies to blend talents, ideas,
and technologies in a radical wave of innovation.
Everywhere
you look, companies are using and creating a supercharged stream of innovation
that is creating opportunities. Thriving in this digital era of promise means
increasing the speed of innovation and collaboration. The main energy for this
is not some magical technology-it’s talented people. There is a sense that you prosper only when
surrounded by a lot of resources that make it possible to succeed. Think of it
as your garden, where you need fertile soil, seeds, and other ingredients to
make things grow.
A
successful business evolves rapidly. While innovative businesses needs
experimenting and collaboration. They must attract resources of all sorts,
partners, suppliers and producers of materials and developers to create a cooperative
network. Virtually every business sector
is being impacted by digital. Process and experiences are being reshaped by new
technologies. In response to these
changes, companies are rethinking how they do business. How can we unlock novel
innovation and create resilience in society?
Discover Hephestos
Hephestos, an
initiative of Massimo Mercuri and Marco Manca, founders of the SCimPULSE Foundation and CERN collaborators that have
participated in the initial stages of this project, and WeMake (MakerSpace), with Massimo leading the co-creations team.
Hephestos, a digital fabrication eco-system platform that enables and paves the
way for a new radical business model.
Its goal is to set up transparent organisations
to share standards and protocols, to connect the dots of design specifications
and leverage an existing product management. A platform that will bring the
same transformation that World Wide Web brought to our everyday life. Hephestos
enables a pervasive and widespread fabrication system that will impulse
employability and share resources.
“We believe the
experience of this organization with previous consortiums like the World Wide
Web Consortium have great value to assure the impact this initiative and increase
the odds of transcendental benefits for humanity, says Massimo Mercuri”
Hephestos suggests that a company be viewed not as a member of a single industry but as
part of a collaboration platform that crosses a variety of industries. Companies
can co-evolve capabilities around new innovations: They work cooperatively and
competitively to support new products, re-create new devices, meeting needs,
and eventually incorporate the next round of innovations.

The
digital era will rely on machines, but winning will require — perhaps more than
ever — talent pools that can thrive in an increasingly digitized economy.
Navigating this shift will be one of the defining moments. It’s time to get
serious about how our organization’s most important asset- its people-will work in this exciting digital age.
Digital businesses recognize that they need platforms and the entrepreneurial talent pool around them as engines for continuous information exchange, insight generation and value creation.

possibilities to make things that enable humanity to flourish in these
challenging times. But this requires us to think and act as craftsmen and apply

complex and seemingly vague systems that are highly interdependent of each
other.
