Giorgio Pauletto, technology and strategy advisor, Observatoire Technologique CTI, Etat de Geneve, answered to the question in French: “What percentage of ideas are actually carried out in your institution?”.
He says there is gap between the vision of a world of knowledge and its implementation. How can we translate this vision into action?
They have to find projects and people who understand the vision, but who are critical, too, and with whom they can make tests. He says they need right to experiment because it is rare to succeed the first time. Many institutions lack the comprehension that you have to try things out. They rather avoid to take any risk.
Nonetheless, they push ideas and there are many people who want to try. It’s a question of finding those people in order to work with them. A specific implementation is the result of a clear vision and a creative and collective execution. It would be a success for them to find this precise process of implementation.
