Often, we are dealing in the unknowns and uncertainties. We continually lack facts, we keep seeking validation. We are pressured for results. Others looking at the innovation progress keep demanding tangible evidence and quantifiable guarantees that the outcome provides clear returns.

In a recent Harvard Business Review article, researchers Peder Inge Furseth and Richard Cuthbertson discuss their findings from a review of innovation case studies from corporate leaders such as Borders, Amazon, Apple, Xerox, and Kodak. They’ve found that oftentimes, companies spend more time and resources building out their innovation capacity, but not actually building out new abilities that will create more value for more people.

Innovation is a profoundly social phenomenon. Good ideas need good narratives to get them going and sustain them over their lives. Storytelling for innovation should be easy, and should address: Why are we doing this? What is changing in our offerings? And, how might we change our work for support?

Everything is derivative. Take advantage of that. “New” ideas are the next step in an extensive network of existing people and ideas. If we can get the data and reconstruct the network, we can analyze it and understand where branches of a network have the potential for innovation. Great ideas do not need to be created. They can be discovered.

Thankfully, innovation is alive and well, mostly thanks to organizations who are willing to take one key step: opening up their innovation efforts to outside partners.
