When I write that "innovation is easy" what I mean is that innovation as practiced in many corporations is rapid, inexpert and quickly converges on a simple solution. Innovation rarely has the preparation, commitment or effort applied to it to really succeed. Internal ideas and external intellectual property are evaluated.

Durant understood the breadth of customer expectation and worked hard to meet it. There's an innovation analogy today Currently, many innovation teams are shaping up a lot like Henry Ford's company. Instead of cars, they are working on innovations. Where would those ideas "go" for further development?

Mentors see themselves as people developers. They take a long-term view of their staff and see innovation projects as an opportunity to stretch their employees’ capabilities and to help them achieve their aspirations. Depending on the scope of their ideas, innovators’ careers can be significantly shaped by this journey.

Many in the C-suite view these innovations as not only a way to maintain market share with consumers, but also usher in new eras of productivity, efficiency and customer engagement. And yet, many of these investments will fail to meet those lofty goals, and not because the ideas themselves are rife with fundamental flaws.

We also know today that innovation management itself must become “fluid” in design, in adaptation so the right approach is to be constantly ‘adaptive’ and put together what is needed to tackle the challenge that needs resolution. A constant redesign to meet the circumstances seems to be a goal of what we achieve in any new innovation design.
