If they are potentially confusing, should we really be talking about good business management taking into account all resources both tangible and intangible? http://www.ia-centre.org.uk/international/forums/messages.cfm?threadid=10A95F11-1320-3FA1-856E71E832EE67A8&r=3 2007-06-04T18:47:00--01:00 IA vs IC If a company is trying to communicate the value of its intangibles is that any different from branding? http://www.ia-centre.org.uk/international/forums/messages.cfm?threadid=F7C1A9A0-D193-5C40-9B5B2C0705C4F99F&r=4 2007-06-04T18:21:00--01:00 Branding What other tools do you use to benchmark in different sectors? Is there anything specific for software companies seeing as they vary greatly? http://www.ia-centre.org.uk/international/forums/messages.cfm?threadid=F7924C52-B3ED-6192-5D1A047BB8DCC80A&r=5 2007-06-04T18:11:00--01:00 Benchmarking We are emabarking on an exciting programme of CPD for staff at the Centre, Can we have your ideas and input please and if you are an IA supplier in Scotland would you like to be involved http://www.ia-centre.org.uk/international/forums/messages.cfm?threadid=6585D25E-AC15-D0BD-9BE022870EB73F83&r=6 2007-05-07T08:51:00--01:00 IC CPD at the IA centre Do we need as nations to move beyond the idea of competiteveness and to concentrate on the idea of collaboration in order to answer the big questions of the day e.g Global warming http://www.ia-centre.org.uk/international/forums/messages.cfm?threadid=6582DB17-DB32-56FC-8F007599E2BA89FF&r=7 2007-05-07T08:48:00--01:00 Competitiveness and Collaboration Following on from the presentations of Charles Savage and Leif Edvinsson at the In Holland conference where the role of culture and indeed a reflective culture in developing an IA/IC approach was seen as central to the ability of organisations to enage suceesfully with IAM and to create value from it, Can I ask if there is any work in the UK on this specific topic http://www.ia-centre.org.uk/international/forums/messages.cfm?threadid=6580B597-0DF6-9C5C-D2779D3A3A84C85B&r=8 2007-05-07T08:46:00--01:00 Role of Culture In IA/IC Have you tried out our new IA Benchmarking Tool? If so - how useful do you find it? Do you think it is missing any areas? Have you tried anything similar before? How does this compare? And if you've not tried it - why not? http://www.ia-centre.org.uk/international/forums/messages.cfm?threadid=F7924C52-B3ED-6192-5D1A047BB8DCC80A&r=9 2007-04-06T17:06:00--01:00 Benchmarking I agree completely. Numbers are easily misinterpreted and too much credance can be given to them. The calculated numbers were shown in the presentation for illustraive purposes only. In the final version, they have been replaced by bar graph indicators and traffic light displays. No calculated values are shown. http://www.ia-centre.org.uk/international/forums/messages.cfm?threadid=10A91AB5-1320-3FA1-854F0CAFE09C5BFE&r=10 2007-02-21T11:11:00--01:00 Valuation Tool I have to voice my opinion, that no attempt should be made to put an absolute pound & pence value on intangibles. Even though I only got a little glimpse of PAVE in Gavin's presentation (without the colour green though), I am quite convinced that this kind of tool can be beneficial, but never ever should it give an exact measure of value in monetary terms. http://www.ia-centre.org.uk/international/forums/messages.cfm?threadid=10A91AB5-1320-3FA1-854F0CAFE09C5BFE&r=11 2006-11-25T22:40:00--01:00 Valuation Tool I have worked for the last three years on a project where SMEs in IT in the five Nordic countries have leveraged their intangibles with definite sucess. The basic principles of this work applies to any industry. For further information take a look at www.si.is/nhki. I also wrote an article in JIC which explains this. For your reference this is: Claessen, E. (2005). "Strategic use of IC reporting in small and medium-sized IT companies: A progress report from a Nordic project."
