And it absolutely works; it’s been found that gamification can increase engagement by up to 20%, regardless of the audience.

One of the biggest challenges to innovation is the middle part of the process - where most of the work is happening behind the scenes. As your innovation campaign progresses, you must continue to instill excitement across all team members, and find ways to reengage them as advocates.

It quickly became simply sold as a process, just like Six Sigma, it became limited by those jumping on the latest concept not being true design thinkers, apart from attending a short course or two. Fun and engaging perhaps but it needed to be separated and contained. It suddenly gets broken down so it can be repeatable, a step-by-step process. Then we get the “let’s systematize this” into a familiar , easy to use and follow process.

So part two of my reflective summary: Design thinking becomes the best friend to innovation, strategically and tactically. When DT is applied to business or social issues it is by making creativity logical, you have its power of contribution, it can transform our innovative solutions. Design thinking as something far too prescribed ‘dulls’ the process. All this adds up to a creative process. Creativity is one of the key essences contributing to innovation.

There are many different types of innovation. Some are internal ( involving employees , incremental innovation , etc.), and some are external ( involving customers , open innovation , etc.). Another successful approach to generate and implement innovation is to search for ideas that are at a much later stage in their development – ideas which have evolved into technologies, products, strategies and even companies.
