10 – Open Innovation, Crowdsourcing and IdeaManagement. What it is: Going by many names, this is the process by which a company can set a challenge that they want ideas for, and gather ideas from hundreds, thousands or hundreds of thousands of people, both within their organisation and externally.
An operations manager at a Fortune 500 hundred company recently asked me: “what are your thoughts on the best innovation ‘models’ to serve as guides for how individuals or teams can structure some of their thinking?”. Third, remember you’re designing for agility which means you’re only making a commitment to explore and evaluate.
Key Methodologies to Foster Disruption Disruptive innovation requires a structured approach to identifying market gaps and turning bold ideas into viable solutions. Designthinking is a customer-centric approach that prioritizes empathy, experimentation, and rapid iteration.
It includes an overview of key frameworks ( DesignThinking, Agile, Lean, TRIZ, Synectics, Stage-Gate, CPS ) and their essential tools. In addition, it covers management mandates, project cycles, resourcing, ideamanagement systems, idea generation, concept development, prototyping, and pitch presentations.
Innovation Intensive, Beyond DesignThinking. DesignThinking is a popular framework that is viewed as best practice, but it’s only part of the solution. Brainstorming done effectively, more ideas, better ideas, and powerful tools for amping and refining ideas. Click on the course title to register.
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!
Lack of Managment support will effectively kill any innovation program no matter how well conceived. DesignThinking alone will not guarantee success (or any other framework, Agile, Lean, etc.). Very few organization’s are any good at all at Brainstorming/Idea Generation.
As a successful technology entrepreneur he has a broad perspective on business and always has ideas about how to solve thorny problems. Gregg knows several innovation frameworks, including DesignThinking and Osborn-Parnes Creative Problem Solving (aka “CPS).
DesignThinking: A human-centered approach to problem-solving, designthinking emphasizes empathy and understanding the user’s needs. Lean Six Sigma is widely used to drive innovation in both product development and process optimization, ensuring that businesses stay agile and effective.
DesignThinkingDesignThinking is a user-centered approach that focuses on understanding the needs of customers or end-users to solve complex problems creatively. What makes DesignThinking effective is its focus on developing practical, user-friendly solutions that address real needs.
Knowledge of frameworks like Lean, Agile, CPS and DesignThinking are essential. Teams achieve breakthrough results when properly facilitated through through a rapid, flexible, but structured process at the front end of innovation. Blended frameworks and tools are now standard in organizations that do innovation well.
This often manifests itself in the host of variations in what are claimed as their ‘unique’ versions of “common innovation” where they constantly reinvent the wheel in their own approaches to processes, definitions, tools, frameworks, systems of working and ideamanagement etc.
This approach helps teams to refine ideas continuously and make improvements throughout the development process. DesignThinking: Designthinking is a human-centered approach to innovation that focuses on understanding user needs and developing solutions that address those needs effectively.
The business environment is becoming increasingly complex. Organizations have lived in a stable environment for many decades. The competitive advantage resulted from executing better than competitors. This is no longer the case.
Don’t get hung up on whether to use Lean, or DesignThinking, or CPS, KILN’s FuseTrail , or some arcane method history has hung around your neck. Look, there are a million methods to do innoation, including those methods I espouse. But at the heart of it, it’s about ongoing projects.
