In my double role as an innovation architect at IdeaScale and a consultant for innovation management, I rely on a variety of methods to set my clients up for success. Combining methods is one of the ways I make sure they make the most out of their innovation efforts. In this post, I’d like to talk about how design thinking complements crowdsourced innovation.

Recently, well actually, over the past twelve or eighteen months, I was asked to explore and explain different frameworks that the innovator might need to know or at least have an opinion upon. These were for HYPE and posted on their blogs, mostly under their “Methods & Frameworks ” tag. Some of these investigations or explanations were fairly long so I decided to not reproduce them here but to have an opening summary and then set up the links onto their site for you to read the

You'll forgive me if I lapse into a bit of consultant speak - can't help but do so since I've been in consulting for many years. One of the factors that dictates what people do as consultants (and in other jobs or industries where time is tracked to projects or other expense categories) is the availability of charge codes. Everyone knows that lawyers, for example, typically bill their time in 15 minute increments.

In speaking to audiences, I often point out my surprise at how little time we spend in business really thinking about the future. It’s easy to do when there are numerous tasks at hand. But, since it’s where we’re all going to be spending the rest of our lives, you would think that we’d devote a bit more time to consider the future and your Futureview.

One of the most common questions that we get from our customers when they’re ready to start valuing and prioritizing ideas is what sorts of criteria other people are using to evaluate ideas. Of course, the type of criteria to evaluate ideas heavily depends on the company, the types of ideas, and the goals of the initiative, but we can still share some suggestions that will help you find your own criteria.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

People who apply a practice to their work—a design thinking practice or a lean practice, for example—talk about being on a journey. By journey they mean that, wherever they are in their understanding and application of a practice, they can see the steps they will take to gain more proficiency. Practitioner communities at times identify people who are far along in their journey as “black belts” or “sensei.

When running an idea management campaign, one of the most crucial steps is the expert evaluation stage. Without properly scoring the relevant ideas, focus may be put on ideas which are either impractical or which require too many resources to develop, instead of on ideas which can provide a positive ROI. The question that arises when I discuss this with my clients is whether they should use a different scorecard for each individual campaign, or one unified scorecard to evaluate ALL campaigns. .

Scaling transformational innovations in large companies is challenging due to ‘Company Fit’ issues, which arise when the resources, processes, and priorities (RPPs) of the core business are not aligned with the needs of the new business. Many companies have learned how ambidexterity—the ability to both ‘exploit the present and explore the future,’ can help them address these issues for ideation and incubation of new innovations, but scaling transformative business innovations remains a challenge
