Introduction to Innovation

• Like it or not the world is changing and the pace is getting faster.
• If you do not come up with a better idea someone else will.
• Successful innovators gain a leading competitive advantage.
• Good innovation generally aims to make things better.

Innovation refers to the entire process encompassing the use of creativity and research to generate new ideas, feasibility studies to evaluate their cost-effectiveness, risk analysis, design and development, new policies and procedures, market research and marketing, and implementation of the new product or service.

1. Identify the opportunity, challenge or (if you must) problem.
2. Clarify the precise objectives and expected benefits.
3. Research the background and state of the art initiatives.
4. Be creative and generate wonderful ideas!
5. Feasibility study and risk analysis.
6. Design, development, prototypes and testing.
7. Policies and strategies.
8. New procedures and change management.
9. Market research and marketing.
10. Implementation of a new product or service.

Now ask yourself the following questions about the above:

1. Are they the only aspects of innovation?
2. How could they be improved?
3. Are they in the right order?
4. What happens if you never innovate?
