This guide explains product innovation, how it differs from other forms of innovation, and what it takes to develop a winning strategy. Youll also learn how the product innovationprocess works and how idea management helps turn raw concepts into products customers actually want. Find out more here.
How Idea Management Fuels Value Innovation Balancing cost reduction with differentiation requires bold, unconventional thinkingbut generating truly breakthrough ideas is a challenge. Many companies focus too much on incremental improvements, missing opportunities for radicalinnovation that could redefine their industry.
Similarly, strict top-level decision-making increases the opportunity for groupthink and lessens the chance of fluid ideageneration throughout the organization. Both of these are explicit examples of how your organization may be unintentionally discouraging “out-of-the box” thinking and in return, lessening your chances of innovating.

As Geoffrey Moore [2] has pointed out, breakthrough innovations need to “cross the chasm” between the initial customers and the majority of the market. Actively managing the market introduction therefore increases significantly the likelihood of success for radicalinnovations.
The MoshPit system seeks to find combinations of concepts that lead to innovation. Digital technology holds promise to improve, or radicallyinnovate, many areas of an organizational value chain. To discover radically new applications for digital tech what’s needed is taking a comprehensive look across all operations.
The chaotic process of creativity is difficult to predict, yet is often the essential fuel for new ideagenerators. While organizations have an ability to gather ideas, many still struggle with the remaining phases of the innovationprocess. From Creative Chaos to Structured Implementation .
It is important to think about how to create feedback loops in each stage of the innovationprocess and how to find and use the right funnels. Use a non-linear ideation process to form ideasgenerated into ‘big ideas’. Group ideas into clusters, consider themes and iterate them to build clusters.
Closed Innovation : Relies on internal resources and capabilities to develop new ideas. While this approach can protect proprietary knowledge, it may limit the diversity of ideas and solutions. RadicalInnovation: Focuses on breakthroughs that fundamentally change industries or create new markets.
Process metrics – address those variables that affect the movement of ideas through the pipeline process. Output metrics – measure the results of innovation. Align your metrics with the goals of your innovation program. Are you seeking game-changing, radicalinnovation or incremental innovation or both?
Leaving innovation to chance is more often a gamble where odds are not always in your favor. Studies show firms that treat innovation as a science and manage and measure it like any other business function are more successful. Takeaway: Choose an innovationprocess and continuously measure and manage it. Guest innovator.
Either way, businesses need to identify where they are going wrong because innovation as a business strategy is here to stay. For survival, innovation is almost obligatory (Drucker, 1999). An innovationprocess “connects upstream idea valuation to downstream production and release to market.” Decreases costs.

Now that is very disappointing but what do we expect from innovation? In one final quote from this article: “when boards seem to have a “widespread lack of board-level engagement in innovationprocesses (that) could be a major blind spot and a potential liability”. My second report is the one from CB Insights.
