These barriers do not ‘magically’ change by delivering what I believe moves us to a better system for innovation, that of an ecosystem and platform architecture. Recognizing the present and ongoing barriers to innovation needs solutions to be built into any future design. Enabling technology and processes.

A transparent innovation process makes this particularly effective. Start with identification; it should be an anonymous system if the user wants it to be, and they should understand just how and why the system is anonymous.

Although innovation cannot be touched, heard, tasted or seen, it can be felt. It is probably best described as a pervasive attitude that allows businesses to see beyond the present and create the future. In short, innovation is the engine of change and in today’s fiercely competitive environment resisting change is dangerous.
