Tools for organizations

== Definition ==

Idea manager can mean several things:

; In the context of general idea production and management

An '''Idea manager''' is a tool that allows you to write down ideas, to find them again, to organized them and to display some sort of structure.

{{quotation| [..] it should be easy to quickly take down a sketch of your idea and to make sure you will find this idea again later - even if you don't exactly know yet how this new idea relates to your other ideas.}} ([http://home.mybibliographix.com/index.php?n=Product.IdeaManager IdeaManager], retrieved 11:08, 11 May 2007 (MEST))

; In the context of innovation (organizational learning, etc.)

Idea manager is a tool for the management of ideas in an organization.

{{quotation|Idea management is the practice of gathering and evaluating ideas in a structured fashion, with a goal of selecting the best ideas with the greatest bottom-line potential for implementation.}} ([http://www.innovationtools.com/resources/ideamanagement.asp Idea ManagementResource Center], retrieved 11:08, 11 May 2007 (MEST))

== Typology of idea management tools ==

Let's be clear: To manage ideas you don't necessarily specialized idea management software. E.g. [[User:Daniel K. Schneider|Daniel K. Schneider]] uses this wiki to manage his. Therefore, also consider any sort of [[cognitive tool]].

Here is a provisional list

* (augmented) [[reference manager]]s, some (like [http://home.mybibliographix.com/ bibliographix] include idea management).
* [[note taking]] tools
* [[concept map]]s (including mind maps).
* Centralizer software like [[webtop]]s can help to organize your productions in various [[social software]] applications
* [[writing tool]]s are applications to produce text (therefore sometimes idea managers). I wonder if the two articles should be merged - [[User:Daniel K. Schneider|Daniel K. Schneider]].
* Specialized [[knowledge management]] tools (and of course the same non-specialized tools that KM may use).
