To help innovation leaders and forward-thinking companies do better, Imaginatik has launched the 2015 Global Innovation Survey. This research initiative, a follow-up from a similar study in 2013, is aimed at defining the state of innovation in the enterprise in 2015. There are 5 sections in the 2015 State of Innovation survey, probing issues such as: How today's companies have structured innovation governance, and how they think about resource allocation for innovation?

The Surge of innovation reports in 2015. I am sure you have experienced that in 2015 we have seen a significant surge in innovation reports, many of these coming from large consulting firms or innovation publishers. I decided this would be valuable to save you time or reconnecting to some good reports that came out in 2015. As we come closer to the year-end it’s good to look back, make some dedicated time to take ‘stock’, in this case, on innovation’s progress.

Disruptive innovations are defined as those new products and services that are so unique and powerful that they literally disrupt the entire industry. The cloud, for instance, was disruptive because it changed the way that people store and use information and applications. Mobile technology was also disruptive because it revolutionized the way that we communicate and live our lives. Innovation Culture

Social Innovation Summit 2015 – June 11-12, Washington, DC How To Think About Turning Your Products Into Services. Eking out profits from products alone isn’t what it used to be. Thanks to the Internet and global distribution, consumers have access to lots of choices. That’s good for them but not so good for the folks selling those goods. Some companies know that products only get you so far, that services are the future-in fact, services already account for 75% of the global economy.

There were several key (and generally welcome) themes that emerged throughout 2015 within corporate innovation. These are, in part, driven by the increasing value that corporate and business leadership place on this (still relatively) new competency, the sophistication of practitioners in the field, and the results of seeing what works or fails. It is truly an exciting time to be in this field and to see these changes form across the industry.

Yes, even before the Internet and social media became essential tools in aiding collaboration. For all these years, we have successfully helped many companies benefit from collective intelligence, keeping participants engaged, creating specific tools for managing their communities, and systems of analysis.

“Innovation” is often discussed in terms of the “idea” as the product and the formation of that idea as somehow unique and ineffable …. Light bulb / Eureka! / “I was in the shower when…”. There is a perception of serendipitous, Zen enlightenment related to ideation that is often accompanied by a thorough dismissal of “process,” as if they are mutually exclusive. In that vision of the “innovation funnel” the idea is at the end… the goal.
