Recognizing the Building Blocks of Innovation

Paul Hobcraft

I am working through what I think this should become in design and application, involving providing the key innovation building blocks as components of the innovation stack, using the innovation stack to guide platform development and the platform to support this innovation stack.

Jumping to a fresh cycle of innovation design

Paul Hobcraft

We design the innovation system we need after we know what we are trying to achieve in the challenge or idea. Can we design a totally ‘adaptive’ innovation process to fit the specific need? A radically different orchestration of innovation – highly networked, fully connected-up. We “pull down” what is needed.

This needs designing in unique ways, not in rigid processes and structures. We “pull down” what is needed.

It is still managed mainly through a linear process of stage-gates and investigation / validation to decide to move on or not. We need to address this incompatibility, we need to integrate and harness the innovation management system and bring it completely up to date and integrated in design and function.
