We base Lean Innovation principles upon the 3 E’s of Lean Innovation : Empathy, Experiments and Evidence. And in practice, we combine three important ideas: designthinking, Lean Startup, and agile methodology. What is DesignThinking? In this way, lean innovation and designthinking go hand in hand.
Yet, within corporations, innovationprograms are fragile things. Large portions of the organization view the innovation team as a foreign entity. Innovationprograms thrive on processes and metrics that don’t mesh easily with the core. For corporate innovators, risk lies around every corner.
Attracting Talent : A culture that values creativity and innovation draws in individuals who are eager to contribute and push boundaries, which in turn, fuels further innovation. Adaptability : An innovative culture equips your organization with the agility to pivot quickly in response to market changes and consumer needs.
What are the stages of innovation? Like so many of our answers, the stages of innovation vary customer to customer. Make at least one person responsible for innovation. We haven’t seen an innovationprogram survive that doesn’t have at least one person at the helm. Develop a communications strategy.
Eleven Innovation Bullets to Dodge, in no particular order. Lack of Managment support will effectively kill any innovationprogram no matter how well conceived. DesignThinking alone will not guarantee success (or any other framework, Agile, Lean, etc.).
Future Building, by contrast, takes an agile and pragmatic approach. Taking a page from Scenario Planning and almost exclusively focusing on the “emblematic events”1 paths, it is a lightweight, yet structured, way for innovation and R&D teams to channel their imagination to productive ends.
There are three main elements that intrapreneurs need to think about before they start working; Leadership Support Organization Design and Innovation Practice. Leadership Support : Without explicit and visible support from our leadership, most innovationprograms are dead on arrival. Which one are most supportive?
You will fail with: Lean, Agile, DesignThinking, TRIZ, Stage-Gate, Osborn-Parnes CPS, KILN’s FuseTrail, or a homegrown/blended framework. DesignThinking puts an emphasis on this exploration, it’s a fundamental built into their framework, excellent!
This special team needs to be strategic, tactical, agile and fast. Depending on companies’ innovation readiness, the responsibility areas of the ‘innovation team’ may include the following: Set the strategy, define success. Innovation can generate noise and become disruptive (not only to the market but also to the company).
In this article, we’ll explore several powerful innovation techniques—ranging from problem-solving frameworks and ideation methods to hackathons and structured innovationprograms. DesignThinking: A human-centered approach to problem-solving, designthinking emphasizes empathy and understanding the user’s needs.
Teams achieve breakthrough results when properly facilitated through through a rapid, flexible, but structured process at the front end of innovation. Knowledge of frameworks like Lean, Agile, CPS and DesignThinking are essential. Blended frameworks and tools are now standard in organizations that do innovation well.
Back in the late 1980s, the head of HP Labs, Frank Carrubba, told me about a valuable lesson he learned about leading innovation – a lesson that resonates even more strongly today with the advent of DesignThinking and Agile Development. That was Frank’s formula for a true “Return on Innovation Investment (ROII).”.
It has invested a great deal to become a world class, human centered design firm by putting the human value of “empathy” front and center in the way they innovate – putting themselves into the shoes of their customers, caring for them as people, and striving to serve their true needs. Its fullness and maturity have yet to be reached.
An innovation sprint is a 3-5 day intensive, experiential engagement that focuses on teaching participants Lean Innovation methodologies while making impact on real business issues. Furthermore, innovation catalysts have been identified and received the “ Train the Trainer ” certifications to help scale innovation internally.
Over the last 75 years, the field of corporate innovation has dynamically evolved from the 1950s-60s’ NASA innovation process models and the Osborn-Parnes creative problem-solving process to today’s popularity with DesignThinking and Agile Development. Yet, as the saying goes, “There’s still more East to go.”.
We need to be agile.” External vs Internal Help for Innovation Transformation There’s benefits to utilizing both external and internal help for creating transformation, but in order for companies to succeed at establishing an innovation culture, they must absolutely “make it their own.” We need to move faster.

By technique I mean how might the members apply practices such as designthinking, agile, the startup approach, etc.—each Specifically, how might the members, many of whom run the innovation management programs for their organizations, have these practices persist as a means of fomenting a culture of innovation?
It requires a more deliberated approach, such as the lean startup process, designthinking or a combination thereof. Tip: Tim Kastelle has posted a worthwile series on how to implement lean startup for innovation initiatives. We can see that experimentation comes in different flavors, depending on the innovation context.
To do this, businesses need to develop new methodologies such as user experience design, service design, and designthinking to create convenient user journeys across channels. Application Programming Interface (API) is used by many leading companies to enable users to create integrated solutions.

The Classic Pitfalls of Innovation. Innovationprograms are like a labyrinth designed to have you lose your way — and die! I was thinking about an upcoming talk I’m giving on innovation pitfalls — and got bored looking for graphics. Mandates, Training, Process, Talent, Conflict, Risk.
