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. To achieve this innovation has gone digital, pure and simple. So the need to innovate comes from digital as the source.

Firstly you have to ask what you are trying to achieve, is it incremental innovation, distinctive, disruptive or even radical? Getting a thorough understanding of what it takes to move up this learning curve to achieve the different types of innovation takes time. So we have five innovation pathway curves to scale.

Innovation is risky. Most radical innovations fail so let’s just keep making our current products and services better. We have to change our attitude to failure and see it as a learning opportunity and a step on the road to success. All innovative companies have failures – look at the Amazon Fire.

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.

They are not always intentional or by design. Why is this methodology critical?

Over time our organizations are finding increasing reasons to put off the more radical innovation that is needed. Incremental innovation is safe and contains all the risks within acceptable levels, so it allows the organization to keep its fixation on the short-term as its only line of site (and executive pay-off).

To adapt we need to open ourselves up to learning and adjusting our organizational ‘form’ in new ways. Yet often these stay ‘static’ not learning or improving.

Yes we constantly attempt to squeeze all our innovation activity into a well-designed process but so much of those more radical innovations just cannot fit and we are then forced to ‘kill them off’ as the system rejects them.
