Design Thinking alone will not guarantee success (or any other framework, Agile, Lean, etc.). Very few organization’s are any good at all at Brainstorming/Idea Generation. Lack of Managment support will effectively kill any innovation program no matter how well conceived.

The secret sauce in the design of a MoshPit session is how fresh thinking is scaffolded through the discovery and idea generation process. Nearly all brainstorming techniques, and even innovation frameworks, fall short in terms of helping people make new conceptual connections.

When I step into a room to facilitate a strategy, innovation, or idea generation session I usually find a great deal of energy.

MCPS perfectly complements innovation frameworks like Design Thinking, Agile, and Lean, and quality frameworks like Six Sigma.

If you, and/or your team, don’t have an organic, natural access to creative thinking, tools like Agile and Design Thinking are running on empty. People can be trained in creative thinking tools, creative behaviours, and structured creative problem solving. It’s not creativity AND innovation.

They go straight to brainstorming without preparing minds, and that’s a big reason sessions fail. Design Thinking, Agile, CPS/Osborn-Parnes, Lean, TRIZ and other innovation frameworks all have some scaffolding built-in. In spite of many success stories it’s not done nearly enough. The reason?
