The task may seem daunting at first, but it’s possible to develop a disciplined strategy that delivers Innovation time and time again for sustained long-term profitability.

Innovation in business is the development of new customer value through solutions that meet new needs, inarticulate needs, or current needs in new ways. RROI gives easy-to-implement and immediately useful ideas for setting and reaching goals like bringing “at least one new product per year to market.”. Innovation leaders need to provide the right support, both material, time and emotional, to stimulate new product development (NPD).

The ideal innovation team is knowledgeable, resourceful, and motivated to drive ideation and product development. Every participant along the innovation process’s chain must embrace accountability as a champion of the idea, the development process, the success, and alternatively it’s failure (without risk, there would be no reward). Ownership is one of the key imperatives of Robert’s Rules of Innovation.

Information compounds on our desktops, the team with analysis paralysis most often loses to the nimble risk takers—but all this means is that in product development , the role of Quality Assurance (QA) has never been more critical.

The recent economic down turn has made many organizations look at the way in which they do business, especially when it comes to developing and launching new products to market. Most of these companies thought nothing of spending millions in the research and development of such products, knowing that they could just tag a few extra bucks onto the final price that would offset the costs of R&D.

It’s a waste of time and money for everyone when an Innovation Team develops a product that the sales force refuses to sell, or that a manufacturing partner refuses to make. When the product portfolio gets prioritized using financial measures like ROI, the more innovative programs always end up at the bottom, because of how the time value of money calculations work.

So to get our current innovation practice unstuck and in order to unlock true innovation potential, do we need to look at how we’re applying the fundamentals more effectively i.e. leadership development, curiosity, creativity, collaboration, culture, strategy, alignment etc? 1] Leaders don’t have to be hands on in product development but it is their energy, creativity and commitment to innovation which acts as a catalyst to organisation-wide development.

Back in Part 1 , we looked at how the emotions expressed by people and products communicate personality traits over time. We also learned that customers are attracted to things that have an aesthetic personality that’s similar to their own, 1 but they prefer products that take on a complementary role during interaction. In Part 2, we’ll look at how relationships are formed when people interact with products over time, and we’ll explore how people experience the emotion of “love.”
