Combining these “building blocks” modularly in innovation stacks creates a unique design that adapts to your specific needs and goals. Today, innovation processes are partly designed this way but are more rigid and hold knowledge often as “islands” within a possible solution.

I have argued in the past that innovation management needs to radically adjust and needs to be designed differently, it needs to be highly adaptive. We design the innovation system we need after we know what we are trying to achieve in the challenge or idea. We “pull down” what is needed. It adjusts and you learn.
