I proposed a new Framework for managing innovation this week, called the Composable Innovation Enterprise Framework. This is approaching innovation and its management in more of a holistic, technology-enabled way based on the use of a cloud-enabled Platform and Ecosystem thinking and design.

I have argued in the past that innovation management needs to radically adjust and needs to be designed differently, it needs to be highly adaptive. I’d like to offer some views, partly looking out to the future, partly considering what is potentially within our grasp, if we step back and rethink innovation design.

In my view any new approach to innovation needs to aim to achieve interdependent and interlocking innovation, solving problems that have not been addressed before and offering sustainable value, impact, and returns to all involved or significantly improving on the existing solutions. Nothing can work in isolation.

Innovation “fights” to attract resources, gain management attention or understand its difficulties in the time it takes, its potential risks and its need for a more ambitious and bold commitment of support. The need for digital platforms and ecosystem designs has grown to achieve this collaborative environment.
