Best Practices for Disruptive, Discontinuous Innovation Create a culture of innovation and encourage a risk-tolerant environment.
This agility needs the tools of testing, feedback, and adaptation to accelerate the innovation process. The design needs to be customer-centric, agile, experimental, lean, standard as much as it can be, with simplicity and adaptive as being central to this. The road you take will decide where innovation is heading for you.
Culture of experimentation (and speed). Recently, experimentation in innovation management is particularly facilitated by intensified use of (rapid) prototyping. It requires a more deliberated approach, such as the lean startup process, design thinking or a combination thereof.
The corresponding integration of incremental and radicalinnovation can basically be achieved in different ways: Building ambidextrous and lean startup capabilities. Established organizations with larger size usually target at extending their core business by incementally innovating their existing business model. .

Leadership styles are critical to innovation efforts, especially when working with uncertainty. In the resulting report, they identified several factors that were positively correlated with the successful execution of innovative concepts. RadicalInnovators more adaptive. The Fertile Field.

They undoubtedly have some incredibly smart people that have produced some incredibly smart technologies, but what sets them apart is their desire to innovate 24/7. Yet if you asked them if they ‘do’ innovation, they would probably smile, as it is very much business as usual rather than something that needs setting time aside to do.
Let’s sum up some relevant findings of these studies, making the case for dual innovation management: BCG: Most Innovative Companies 2014 .

As Geoffrey Moore [2] has pointed out, breakthrough innovations need to “cross the chasm” between the initial customers and the majority of the market. Actively managing the market introduction therefore increases significantly the likelihood of success for radicalinnovations.
For companies, embracing incremental innovation means fostering a culture of continuous improvement where even the smallest changes are valued for their cumulative impact over time.

Culture of experimentation (and speed). Recently, experimentation in innovation management is particularly facilitated by intinsified use of (rapid) prototyping. It requires a more deliberated approach, such as the lean startup process, design thinking or a combination thereof.
One can focus on tapping innovation internally, another can capitalize on external innovation through accelerators, incubators, acquisitions, etc. Or one can focus on incremental innovation, another program strives for breakthrough and radicalinnovations. IP expert, Real innovator. Innovation advocate.

This is all about the first type of ‘innovation’ above – innovating our offerings , and only in an incremental manner.
