From idea competitions and startup incubators to virtual whiteboards and design thinking workshops, there is no shortage of mechanisms for brainstorming what’s possible in an organization. Ideation on its own isn’t enough to drive innovation outcomes—and could even be a waste of resources if not governed properly.

In a project with Merz , the global pharmaceutical company, 100%Open was asked to find technical partners to improve ultrasound skin treatment devices. Experiences such as this led us to ask “If problem definition is a key component of design thinking, why don’t we prototype problems as well as solutions?”

I’m also a bit weary of chasing or developing the latest, greatest, and most sophisticated tool for ideation. I think I need the mental equivalent of a shot of wheatgrass. 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.

And despite innovation supposedly being a mature topic inside organisations worldwide, the number one global blocker to innovation culture is the lack of consistent definitions of innovation inside organisations! Take the Double Diamond of Design Thinking for example. A tool that underscores a pivotal approach to innovation.

When bringing people together to solve problems with design thinking, there may be more benefits to going remote than you think. Face-to-face design thinking workshops can be amazing. There is a certain energy, human connection and buzz that is pretty hard to reproduce in a virtual format. Increased accountability.

No clear definition of what innovation really means This varies widely from organization to organization. Unrealistic expectations of first projects Out of the gate, most organizations put too few resources on too few ideas and expect too much out of them. Instead, organizations need to look for quick wins in their first projects.

No clear definition of what innovation really means. Unrealistic expectations of first projects. What makes this even more dangerous is that the further away the first projects are from the core business, the more likely they are to fail.

While this isn’t workable past a certain point of growth, there is definitely merit to flat ideational structure — everyone in the company should be encouraged to submit ideas to the CEO if they think they’re good enough to warrant that level of attention. Try finding reasons to get people working on projects together.

Basically the definition of creativity is the act of creating something new by combining things which had no relations before. The ability to think divergently and to see a new solution is what the people, we call creative, do easily. They use different processes and follow steps of design thinking or other methods.

They don’t tell the team how to design, but they serve as virtual guardrails to prevent the project from careening off the road. These goals must be supported and refined by research: “The very point of design research, after all, is to determine what work the team should be doing in the first place.” Don’t isolate design.
