Legacy systems plague the ability to break out of our present traps of silo’s and we are still struggling to solve these issues, machine by machine, a process by process, incompatible software and hardware, piece by piece. Innovation is one powerful catalyst ripe for leveraging in this 4th Industrial Revolution.
Tip: Tim Kastelle has posted a worthwhile series on how to implement lean startup for innovation initiatives. Incremental innovation : Even in highly mature industries, such as automotive, experimentation gains ever more importance.
Every now and then a book on innovation is published that deserves to be put on the innovator’s bookshelf along with other seminal writings about innovation.

In 2007, I co-founded Innovation Framework Technologies (IFT) in order to close this gap, to offer a combination of best practices and best software embedded in solutions that companies can actually and successfully use. A well implemented Front End of Innovation process and supporting system goes a long way in addressing those needs.
Strategical Metrics cover top-level analysis of how well the innovation project is really moving the organization in the direction of its goals. Progress on these metrics should be reviewed every 6-12 months and they include questions like: Which aspirations will help us in delivering on our strategic initiatives?

They thought customers were buying film, chemicals, inkjet cartridges, workflow software, and so on. Kodak’s competition was not just other camera and printer companies, but entirely new innovations like social media. You may remember the three innovation horizons from the last episode, but it’s worth reviewing them again for clarity.
. “If you went to bed last night as an industrial company, you’re going to wake up this morning as a software and analytics company.” As venture capital investor Marc Andreesen pointed out, “software is eating the world.” Innovation like this requires, among other things, technological aptitude. (Of
This concept, often used interchangeably with radical and disruptive innovation, has nuances worth understanding. Defining Discontinuous Innovation Discontinuous innovation introduces significant technological leaps or entirely new business models , much like radicalinnovation.
This often involves setting up dedicated platforms or software tools that streamline the collection and assessment of ideas. By doing so, companies can ensure that the best ideas are identified and developed, leading to actionable business innovations that enhance performance.

Innovation can happen quickly, (known as radicalinnovation), or it can take place over time, (incremental innovation). Innovation requires creative thinking, imagination, and risk-taking. Product innovation is the development of new products. Product innovation isn’t limited to software.
There is still a lot of potential for new accelerator programs in more regulated industries and niche markets – here there are first-mover advantages due to higher entry barriers.
Germany does a better job on innovation in areas as diverse as sustainable energy systems, molecular biotech, lasers, and experimental software engineering. Indeed, as part of an effort to learn from Germany about effective innovation, U.S. in the most radical technologies. The truth is: Germany wins hands down.

Just four short years ago, GE CEO Jeff Immelt declared that “If you went to bed last night as an industrial company, you’re going to wake up this morning as a software and analytics company.”
If this year’s software is identical to last year’s there’s no reason to upgrade. Just like the Horsey Horseless, successfully introducing more radicalinnovations and ideas often involves making difference feel familiar. The Segway faced similar challenges. Cloaking change in a coat of similarity.
The company created impressive digital capabilities, labeling itself a “digital industrial” company, embedding sensors into many products, building a huge new software platform for the Internet of Things, and transforming business models for its industrial offerings.
Already, artificial intelligence is all around us, from early self-driving cars and drones to virtual assistants and software that translate or invest. Moreover, technological innovation will also lead to more reuse and less waste of material and energy due to economical reasons and social demands. Fourth Industrial Revolution.
