But, for the most part it’s difficult to create something truly novel and useful if you don’t understand the situation, context, market, area, the domain.

Outsourcing innovation project management might be the most strategic money you spend this year. What I hear from top management: “we don’t have the time or resources for innovation projects, we’ll start later this year.” They know that they have to get projects underway, and managed efficiently, in order to fill the new product pipeline. One solution, not a new one, is to outsource innovation project management.

The key factor to help you leverage your business may be the combination of project management methodologies, such as Design Thinking and Scrum. In this methodology, the consumer’s opinion is fundamental to avoid risks in every project: when the result focuses on the client’s mind, respecting their experiences, desires and challenges, the gap where errors may occur becomes much smaller. This format minimizes risk, reduces rework, and makes project management more productive.

There are two huge reasons why it is important to get to market fast: to be the first and money. Get to Market First.

I thought by this year in history (2016) everyone in the business world would have a clue as to how to do ideation (aka brainstorming) properly. Training in basics like brainstorming, but also more advanced concepts like innovation cycle management, frameworks, and facilitation of innovation teams and projects. Well for one, groups I’ve witnessed routinely start ideation with vague questions — which pretty much dooms the session.

It relies on very careful market research that worships what consumers say, but pays little attention to behavior they can’t articulate. To think differently, you need to organize ideation or strategy sessions — and the entire front end of innovation cycle — using different tools and techniques, different settings, new stimulus, new speakers, new and different everything. For example, instead of doing a classic brainstorm, or ideation, do a MoshPit.

How do you integrate all this new fancy stuff into strategy and ideation to create actual projects? Innovating with digital technology requires a blended approach, truly diverse teams, training, and new ideation methods. A team without IT involved won’t be able to do it either, because marketing-centric teams don’t know what’s technically possible. If you focus on the project, you’ll get through conflict by keeping the end in mind.
