“Innovation” is often discussed in terms of the “idea” as the product and the formation of that idea as somehow unique and ineffable …. There is a perception of serendipitous, Zen enlightenment related to ideation that is often accompanied by a thorough dismissal of “process,” as if they are mutually exclusive. In that vision of the “innovation funnel” the idea is at the end… the goal. Neither process, nor technology alone holds the key to sustainable innovation success.

Instead of developing the idea, I held onto it—so instead, someone else with the same idea developed it into an innovation they could bring to market. While our natural impulse as inventors may be to protect our ideas, developing an idea into an innovation often requires input from others. Sharing allows us to go through the innovation process: discovering challenges to your approach, finding solutions to obstacles, and turning a great idea into a winning accomplishment.

I recently was a guest blogger for Gibson Insurance and I wrote this piece about the risk of Not Innovating. Many leaders pull back on innovation programs because of expenses, and, fear of change. They settle for small changes and improvements and continue to look at innovation as if it’s extra work. They pay lip service to innovation and waste time doing culture assessments. They also spend precious time developing a precise process for innovation.
