I received an early New Year present, actually, it came from Siemens. They had invited me to their Siemens Innovation Day in mid-December 2017. I really appreciated it, yet it took me time to absorb all that was provided, over these past two weeks. My early present, well actually an idea, came the day before the event. I was included in the Industry Analysts visit to the Siemens Technology Center, at Neuperlach in Munich.

What’s the best idea among the ones you’ve defined? You’ve collected ideas. You’ve refined them. Now it’s time to see what’s made it through the process and evaluate which to act on. But how should the process of reviewing ideas be engaged in? Who should be involved? What, in short, are the best practices of idea review?

Before there is something new to see, there is just a good idea worthy of a prototype. And before there can be good ideas there are a whole flock of bad ones. And until you have enough self confidence to have bad ideas, there is only the status quo. Creating something from nothing is difficult. New things are new because they are different than the status quo.

Companies often go to any lengths to develop their R&D department to foster innovation to stay successful in their industry. However, what drives the prized attribute of innovation in almost every company is not just R&D or its leaders but its employees.
