Innovation thinking in Ecosystem and Gen AI design I believe there is a real need to construct a different innovation process. We are rapidly seeing the past of innovating simply in terms of operating on our own. Earlier this year, I proposed a different framework for the innovation process and thinking.

Over time, as innovation has matured somewhat, many innovation consultants began to reference Doblin's Ten Types model. This is a great mode that I constantly refer back to with my clients, to convince them to think about innovation beyond product innovation. While continuing the other innovation you are already doing.

Combining these “building blocks” modularly in innovation stacks creates a unique design that adapts to your specific needs and goals. Today, innovation processes are partly designed this way but are more rigid and hold knowledge often as “islands” within a possible solution.

We need to get closer to ‘real-time’ This reliance on rapidly out-of-date understanding cannot be the basis for any justifications for high-stake bets when it comes to innovation. We need to change our thinking and design in the digital insight part more specifically within and along the innovation process.
