Recently I was exploring the world of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and read an excellent Whitepaper from Aras Corp , one of the leading PLM solution providers. I have argued we do need to change the way we undertake innovation and its development. A truly open innovation platform.

To a great extent, we are becoming complacent, waiting for others to change or improve or modify our lives, rather than dreaming up big ideas and developing them ourselves. Yet, most companies stick within a very narrow range of new product development options, unable or unwilling to shift the frame and think differently.

So if you know that the CEO’s greatest pain is the fact that the sales team isn’t communicating with marketing or manufacturing, resulting in lower sales and poor customer experiences, then you have to look at what you’re proposing and figure out how it can ease that pain or even solve that problem.

When businesses have worked for long on traditional systems, they face calcified practices, legacy processes, and resistance to change from within the organization. Enterprises are a complex patchwork of systems stuck together with file transfers, batch processing, as no single system does all a business needs.

A new system might fail when users do not accept it even though the system might be effective. At the same time, an inefficient system might create value among users if users decide to adopt it. I think we can all agree that user adoption is the primary objective for all products.

What it is: One of the most challenging aspects of innovation for most companies is not the generating of ideas, or the development of new innovations. They can cite a number of seemingly valid reasons for this, including: My team hasn’t got the time to resources or time to take ownership of this new thing.

The primary impediment to innovation is fear, and the prime directive of any innovation system should be to drive out fear. When the team is accountable to deliver on a project but are constrained to a fixed scope, a fixed launch date and resources, they will be afraid. And make a list of projects where team members were praised.

Teams are asked to solve the problem three or four ways and explain the rationale for choosing one solution over the other. With manufacturing and product development, it’s all about Gantt charts and hitting dates. Systems in manufacturing can be complicated, with lots of moving parts. With innovation it’s different.

Often agile development initiatives are not ‘agile’ at all. In addition, difficulties with integrating these acquisitions can reduce the realization of long-term value significantly.
