Every successful company has one thing in common: a deep-seated commitment to innovation. Innovation isn’t just about the next big idea; it’s a multifaceted strategy that businesses employ to navigate through the twists and turns of today’s dynamic markets.

The approach we take to embedding innovation in all its forms is a unique one that we call the Pathway Curve Methodology. Innovation needs to be worked at, to grow into a deeper understanding, over time. Innovation building faces a multitude of obstacles to overcome so innovation has a chance to be embedded within an organization.

How many types of innovation are there? The simplest way to categorize innovation is into two forms – incremental and radical. Incremental innovation is an improvement in an existing thing (e.g. Radical innovation is finding an entirely new way of doing something. Everything can be innovated.

I have written a fair amount about the new innovation era, offering a view on its future design. One that is jumping to a fresh cycle of innovative design. We are in the middle of it, some of you may not have noticed its impact and change but it is significant on the understanding of innovation, in it’s future design.

innovation disillusionment or just boring? You get this increasing sense that the ‘fizz’ has gone out of the innovation bubbly, we are seemingly in a trough of innovation disillusionment. The innovation party presently feels a little flat. Has the fizz gone from innovation? Are we being moved by innovation anymore?

Perhaps why innovation feels somewhat flat (well for me) is our organizations and societies are utterly failing to allow us all to step up in innovation to tackle those huge societal issues; those massive, growing problems that are swirling all around us. The growing radical innovation activity gap.

Innovations absorb resources and cost money. Innovation is risky. Most radical innovations fail so let’s just keep making our current products and services better. This is why getting real momentum behind significant innovation is difficult. He or she must sell the need for innovation. Everyone is very busy.

Lessons are learned, and changes are made to constantly improve the sales process. Is there a customer need for each innovation? What will this innovation compete with? This is reasonably straightforward for incremental innovations but particularly hard for radical innovations. Will they pay for it?

A few years back, experts noted that the changes associated with the 4IR would come at an unprecedented rate yielding incredible results for those who truly embraced them. It is equally holding a new form of innovation back, one that is highly collaborative where partners come together to work on more complex problems.

Corporations are under increasing attack and are really struggling to become more radical in how they can defend, secure and achieve growth. A lack of understanding innovation in all its forms is coming back to haunt them. They can’t seemingly handle radical innovation and there is even more of an imperative to learn.

It’s no secret that in today’s dynamic business landscape, for some, innovation is still just a buzzword – but for others, it’s the lifeblood of their organisation and an antidote to remaining relevant. Undoubtedly, transformation in pursuit of innovation within established corporations is a significant challenge.

I’d suggest that today innovation is caught up in the survival race, where the bolder ones are more innovation fit and pulling further ahead. We need many more organizations to get out of this survival trap and exploiting innovation in bolder ways, become fitter in their innovating purpose. So what do we need to do?

Our existing organization needs to envisage a changing world full of disruption that calls for radical change.

It can start with small, incremental changes and expand to radical innovation, creating brand new solutions or disrupting an entire industry. How to move up the innovation spectrum? Incremental. On the contrary. Differentiated.

I was thinking over the weekend that for years we've positioned innovation incorrectly. Too often we position innovation as creating a new and valuable offering or solution, ready when customers are ready to demand new products and services. Another approach is to use innovation to ferret out efficiency gaps.

All too often strategy is not influencing the behaviours and outcomes around innovation, it is simply allowing them to be left to chance. Innovation is being ‘pushed down’ the organisation for others to interpret and offer their answers. This poor strategic understanding creates a lack of alignment and directing innovation.
