While this statement may seem like the most obvious thing in the world, it is amazing how often we don’t think through it rationally. The vast majority of ideas are actually not very good. And most of them are quite bad. This is especially true at the very beginning of ideas, when they are not yet fully formed, and most resemble ugly babies. Very few of these ideas will turn out to be truly creative and have an impact.

One aspect of any successful innovation portfolio is the way you manage your pipeline of new ideas. Using a pipeline, you can take a large number of ideas you want to test, and quickly and cheaply prioritise those which are showing the most promise and progress. If you want to visualise it, it should look like a funnel, where a large number of ideas or projects are fed in the top, wide part of the funnel, and during various review stages, and as time passes those which show less promise are remo

Learn about this innovation framework and find training resources, articles, tips, and more. JTBD (or Jobs to Be Done) is a theory that describes consumer action. Consumers buy products and services to get jobs done – and while the individual products/services come and go, the underlying job-to-be-done remains. In the innovation process, this really comes down to trying to find better ways of accomplishing this JTBD, rather than focusing on the product itself.
