“…Recent advances in design theories invite us to view design as a process that uses languages of the known and unknown to bring to life still unknown objects (Le Masson et al, 2017). This way, designers can attain different levels of generativity, such as knowing how to reproduce existing objects, recombine existing knowledge, introduce new knowledge into a codified design process, and create new languages of the unknown to recreate languages of the known (Carvajal Pérez, Araud, Chaperon, Le Masson, & Weil, 2018). Thus, we expect a creative heritage to describe a language of the known and a language of the unknown.…”

Marketing" and "design" teams often experience conflicts when cooperating on innovation projects. In luxury industries, these difficulties are exacerbated by a tension between innovation and tradition, which, in turn, causes a loss of originality and operational efficiency. Based on three case studies of a luxury champagne house, we provide evidence of the existence of a type of cognitive resource-a creative heritage-that can help marketing and design teams in luxury organizations manage these tensions, address destructive and creative tensions, and, hence, gain originality that is coherent with tradition and operational efficiency.

“…Focusing on engineering and industrial innovation, Carvajal Pérez et al (2018) promote the idea of “Creation Heritages” or “Generative Heritages” to use known objects in the “elaboration of still unknown objects.” Their aim is not only to transfer knowledge resources but also the capacities to use them – their “creative spirit” – for eliciting generative gains in the form of identifying gaps (turning unknown unknowns into known unknowns, filling gaps [turning known unknowns into known knowns], sharing object structures, progress principles, creative reasoning, usage metrics, value criteria and desires as well as creating new objects and designs).…”

Purpose In addressing the future trajectory of knowledge management systems, this paper uses the psycho-social notion of generativity which recently stimulated contributions in technology and innovation for a holistic systemic knowledge management (KM) review. The purpose of this study is to identify current shortcomings and fixations together with their ramifying affordances, all enveloped within a novel KM concept and prototype-system-under-development. Design/methodology/approach It follows up on prior publications using design science research (DSR) methodologies in compliance with theory effectiveness, a principle expecting system designs to be purposeful in terms of utility and communication. The KM perspective taken prioritizes a decentralizing agenda benefiting knowledge workers while also aiming to foster a fruitful co-evolution with traditional organizational KM approaches. Findings The notions of generative fit and capacities in their technical, informational and social interpretations prove able to accommodate diverse KM models and to cumulatively synthesize a wide range of related concepts and perspectives. In the process, Nonaka’s renowned socialize, externalize, combine, internalize and Ba model is repurposed and extended to suggest a corresponding complementing seize, imbed, collate, encompass, effectuate workflow embedded in distinct digital ecosystems fully aligned to the diversity of the generative attributes introduced. Research limitations/implications Although the prototype development is still in progress, the study conforms to the DSR practice to report on early visions of technology impact on users, organizations and society and also refers to and reflects on aspects of feasibility, suitability, acceptability and the system’s prospect as a general-purpose technology or disruptive innovation. Originality/value The paper transdisciplinarily integrates the well-established psychological notions of generativity into its newer digital and systemic KM dimensions. The resulting new insights transparently inform the concept and prototype design, present a holistic framework for individuals and organizations and suggest avenues for new KM applications and KM research directions inspired by the adopted and adapted novel generativity contexts.

“…10. The "grande cuisine" -whose heritage knowledge has been shared by the renowned chefs in their books -has been described as "one of the most iconic crafts where creation and tradition co-evolve in a rich number of ways" (Carvajal-Pérez et al, 2018;Hatchuel et al, 2019). Both, CKDT and PKMS, benefit, of course, from the notion of "standing on the shoulders of giants" where creative authorship adopts and adapts given wisdoms or frames original thoughts within existing structures of meaning to appropriately resonate with the intended referent groups (Kolb and Collins, 2011).…”

“…Applying an extended CKDT framing, they exemplify its utility by offering a case study using "cuisine books, written by important chefs that were eager to share their knowledge heritage and generativity with their colleagues." Aiming for not only sharing knowledge resources but also the capacities to use them ("creative spirit"), they call for advancing their research to other formalized generative heritages in domains beyond cuisine, including KM (Carvajal-Pérez et al, 2018). Their perspectives have been generalized and integrated into Figure 1 as follows.…”

Scalability of generative knowledge management systems: designing for individuals’ and institutions’ mutual benefit

Purpose In further conceptualizing a novel generative knowledge management system (KM/KMS), this paper aims to focus on identifying and mitigating the risks related to its envisaged scaling from a prototype to an application with a rapidly growing user base. Design/methodology/approach It follows up on prior publications using design science research (DSR) methodologies in compliance with theory effectiveness, a principle expecting system designs to be purposeful in terms of utility and communication. The KMS perspective taken prioritizes a decentralizing agenda benefiting knowledge workers while also aiming to foster a fruitful co-evolution with conventional organizational KM approaches. Findings The utilization and further extension of the CKDT and a “scalable innovation” heuristic are assisting the detecting of potential scaling risks related to the logics and logistics, generative interoperability, technological capacitating, knowledge dynamics and value chain which further validates the viability of the proposed KM concept and system. Research limitations/implications Although the prototype development is still in progress, the paper conforms to the DSR practice to report on early visions of technology impact on users, organizations and society but also reflects on expectations of viability, desirability and commitment, as well as the system’s prospect as a general-purpose-technology or disruptive innovation. Originality/value In addition to the novel KM-related perspectives, the paper’s practical emphasis on the scaling of more complex systems is rarely dealt with in the literature due to the respective projects’ often large-scale collaborative nature, broad methodological scope and diverse stakeholders’ interests. In this case, the task is eased as prior DSR outputs can be referred to.
