Idea to Value
MARCH 1, 2022
Your team has been hard at work on a new innovation for months. The ideas were generated. The options were prioritised. The prototype was developed. Customer feedback was incorporated. And the implementation plan was polished. Everything was done to set up the project for success. And yet, when it was handed over to the operations team (or whoever else should implement it), everything fell apart.

Mark Twain. One of the most famous scenes from Mark Twain’s book, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, is when Tom has to whitewash a fence as a punishment. His friend Ben Rogers comes along to ridicule him about having to work. Tom ignores him and concentrates on painting, so Ben eventually asks if he likes doing it. Tom replies, “Like it? Well, I don’t see why I oughtn’t to like it.

Permission is given. Responsibility is taken. If you want to be a leader for change, and enable creativity in your teams, you need to take responsibility of what they might come up with. That also involves taking responsibility and ownership for the impact the change might bring. Both positive and negative. This is why so many managers don’t like being asked for permission from their staff to try something creative.

As the co-founder of LinkedIn, Reid Hoffman once said that trying to innovate and scale a business quickly requires you to “throw yourself off a cliff and assemble your airplane on the way down.” Sounds risky. It doesn’t have to be. For most new upstarts — be it a startup or corporate venture — finding the perfect product-market fit is critical before you run out of money.

Fifty years ago, a little-known children’s book introduced the “SCAMPER” model as way to help teachers foster creativity in their classrooms. It’s an amazingly simple tool, and unbelievably powerful for pushing thinking beyond “business as usual” to help teams innovate. SCAMPER is an acronym for Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to another use, Eliminate, and Reverse.

Yet many teams and organizations get paralyzed by overwhelming data. Spreadsheets, presentations, and industry reports, can inform, but also overwhelm. While data exists, many teams lack insight.

Now that Facebook has changed their name to Meta to stake their claim on the personal and business use of Virtual Reality (VR) environments — the Metaverse – will this finally establish VR and/or Augmented Reality (AR) as commonplace technologies? Despite many advancements in the past decade, VR and AR applications seemingly have not taken hold in the same way as our devices and other technologies like new 2D video game platforms or your tablet, or streaming services and social media, have.

People start, work on, and complete projects in organizations all of the time. Some projects are carefully planned and managed, while others happen more haphazardly out of urgency or necessity. In most cases, the more effort you put into planning and controlling your project, the more likely you are to achieve success. After working with customers for many years on everything from Lean implementation to construction project management, we've noticed several elements of project success.

Most innovation work proceeds independently from company strategy. As a result, the products that arrive in the market are not well aligned with the company’s goals. This challenge is particularly significant in organizations with transformation-oriented strategies, where innovation must directly support growth, scalability, and strategic pivots.

Companies don’t fail at innovation due to lack of ideas. They often don’t create the right innovation structure to implement their opportunities. Most organizations struggle with innovation. That’s because they try to apply processes and structures that don’t fit their business strategies and cultures.
