打造一流创新环境:协作、开放、可持续
The following article is from 微软研究院AI头条 Author 周礼栋
“因缘相聚是起始,合众努力是进步,精诚协作是成功。”
亨利·福特(Henry Ford)
毋庸置疑,人类是群居物种。早在两千多年前,亚里士多德便在其著述《政治学》里揭示了人类群居共利协作的趋向:个体组成家庭,家庭组成村落,村落组成城池,城池组成国家和社会。直到今天,从交响乐团的高超演奏到花样游泳队的优美表演,从流水线工人的默契配合到空中航班与地面塔台间的频繁交互,可以说,无所不在的协作成就了我们所处的世界与文明。
然而许多看似完美的“协作”例证大都只停留在“协调”的层面:以预先确立的制度和规范、流程和指令为导引,组织起相关人员以某种形式展开合作。与之相比,创新对协作的要求更高——整合团队才智、共同探索未知,期间,不可预测的、偶然性的因素很多,所产出的成果则往往不会为往昔的经验与刻板的规程所限制。这显然需要一种层次更深且可持续的协作,让分工、协调、合作链环上的每个人都可能成为新的发现与贡献的核心主体。
开放积极:创新与年龄、资历无关
透明无碍:打破一切无形的墙
多元包容:依循三个原则,打造独特文化
转型思维方式:让文化成为创新能源
一个创新型组织的成长也是不断拓展视野并承担更大的社会责任的过程。微软亚洲研究院从创立伊始就和国内外计算机科研机构展开了深度的合作,携手进步,共同发展。近年来,研究院对于可持续发展、碳中和、医疗健康等人类社会问题越来越关注,我们因此将合作伙伴阵营拓展至计算机科学以外的多元领域和行业,包括生物、材料、能源及环境等。我们搭建的“创新汇”平台也成为连接研究院和行业伙伴的重要桥梁。
就像琳达·希尔(Linda Hill)在关于“集体创造力”(How to manage for collective creativity)的 TED 演讲中所指出的,我们的目标是“创造一个空间,让每个人的每一份天赋都能得以释放和运用,并演变成为集体天才的作品”。对微软亚洲研究院这样的研究机构来说,我们应当带头尝试践行所有有利于激发创新力的原则,大胆接受和改造各种新的范式,将协作创新视为研究院的主要使命。
