Shifting Radically the Innovation Business Model. I have been spending some significant time on questioning the current innovation business model, from both the customers (clients) perspective and the innovation consultants’ one.

Give everyone an innovation toolkit to use. Innovation can happen spontaneously, of course, but toolkits will help to encourage creativity and channel it effectively.

I've been writing, speaking and consulting about innovation for over 15 years, and I'm constantly amazed by the different perspectives and definitions about innovation. Then, a problem or opportunity is defined, a team designated, and the proposition is defined as an innovation activity.
