Today I am writing about the third building block: introducing discovery, exploration and novelty to your innovation work. For many businesses, discovery and exploration belong in the R&D group, if anywhere, and novelty is rarely embraced. Let's examine some of the challenges to discovery, exploration and novelty.

They need a couple of simple rules Conducting ‘open’ dialogues or focused conversations should always have a sound context so the contributions slowly build-out and hold real promise Discoveries can start with different ‘fields of enquiry’ to achieve different connections and deepen our perspectives.

For me, it is the ability to apply the “multiplier effect” to any discovery and validation that accelerates the understanding of where the potential growth and impact points of a new business opportunity can occur. Seeking problem resolution through discoveries. Recognizing the value within the knowledge service provider.

Exploration and exploitation in the market-creation process Market creation follows a fairly predictable pattern of discovery, distribution, and sometimes, democratization. First, in the discovery phase, exploration activities may look like research, experimentation, and pilots.

Yet the most significant contributors came in emerging methodologies that built so much of an innovative discovery or design; the five for me that stand out are: Open Innovation : This thinking opened up the collaboration concepts between organizations and individuals, sharing knowledge, resources, and ideas to develop new products or services.

These are complex challenges where high levels of collaboration, knowledge exchange and discovery are essential. The dynamics (within) innovation discovery and implementation are changing; the global scale is transforming much. We can service, source and secure markets differently. We need to be radical in design and thinking.

Another base principle is that most companies desire innovation in the form of new product and services to create new revenue and new market share. Further, while most corporations will pay lip service to innovation, and would enjoy new revenues and profits, they view innovation as a project or an activity that is discrete.

There are plenty of tools out there that need to bring ‘in-house’ as standard service delivery platforms. Then you need to capture the interactions, offer search and discovery services, organize event management, and be able to retrace the interaction history.

What we have learned about development, prosperity, and progress is that it is the twin task of discovery and distribution of innovations that helps move societies forward. And to distribute without continuous discovery results in stagnation as the innovation process necessarily depends on continuous discovery.

Partnership model: Some vendors may choose to partner with other companies to provide bundled services, such as consulting and training, alongside the software. Outsource model: Some vendors may choose to offer a fully outsourced innovation management service, where they manage the entire innovation process on behalf of the client.

If you are hoping to "shake things up" or create new products or services, these perspectives will simply block most ideas. The more change you want to create, the more you need the creative hat, the wonder and discovery inherent in child-like thinking. Who within the business can take on the role of the naïve perspective?

These are essential steps in any transformation work, in any innovation undertaken to take discovery through to commercialisation. The discovery and validation stage becomes vital, and to get there, we need to search, relate and see new possibilities.

This challenge in in multiple parts, because you need interested, creative, divergent people to create ideas, and you need capable, connected people to convert ideas into products and services. You've got to find out what critical existing platforms and services exist and how you work with them to add value. A sponsor or champion.

The distinction is that working in the business defines the work that drives the business day to day - going to meetings, answering email, providing products and services for customers. Working " In Innovation" means doing work that is meant to create new products or services, generating ideas, spotting new trends or needs.

If that assumption is correct, then the name of the innovation game is trend spotting, scenario planning and customer insight and discovery, along with some tech scouting. We don't need Newtons or Einsteins to innovate future products and services. Tools and knowledge will not be a significant barrier to more and better innovation.

In the past few decades, we have seen so much disruptive change, in markets suddenly disappearing, products or services suddenly being rendered obsolete and replaced by these radical, highly disruptive models. We are seeking different, often highly connected and networked products and services.

Innovation can often be rather chaotic and discovery driven, it often is seen as counter-productive to the orderly state our organizations wish to achieve. Yet it is that randomness, that serendipity, that sudden discovery that needs a different way of thinking and organizing innovation.

It adjusts and you learn.

A value stream consists of all the steps or processes an organization goes through to deliver a product or service to the customer. One of the key principles of lean manufacturing is to identify the value stream and, if possible, eliminate any steps that do not add value to the final product or service. Think: “Call to Action (CTA).”
