Scientific Management or Taylorism is a management theory that prioritizes efficiency by removing unnecessary steps in a process. However, it can hinder innovation and autonomy of employees.
The future of idea management involves an idea meritocracy where the best idea wins, building an ambidextrous and agile organization, and the rise of automation and artificial intelligence to make the work more efficient and effective.
Innovation requires understanding both the knowns and unknowns, and a good idea management system can help capture and explore ideas to turn them into valuable opportunities.
