How innovation services are interconnected to generate innovations
To some people it is not all that clear how innovation services, innovation management systems, innovation projects and innovations relate to one another. I keep running into this issue, particularly when firms are just keen on finding quick innovations, rather than working systematically to continuously create value from innovation. Let me first summarize the logic in one comprehensive…

The difference between 'innovation management' and 'being innovative'
Ever since I started as an innovation management consultant (and part-time innovation management researcher) some 15+ years ago there has been great confusion in the market about what an “innovation person” is supposed to do. What are the responsibilities of an innovation person, isn’t it just to come up with innovative stuff? Any person who has worked with something innovative, has created…

How digitalization and innovation is combined through strategy
Innovation is created by peeking at the future. Especially technological innovation is founded on the fact that the technology of choice is new and fairly immature. By studying the emerging technology lifecycle we can calculate prognosis of the forthcoming maturity of such technologies and thus create plans for how they can be suitably injected into our digital environment when appropriate. Any…

The innovation process dismantled (part 5)
Innovation portfolio management (IPM) is in fact not a secluded phase, but it is rather an ongoing process that flows alongside the main innovation process. But its importance accentuates once the concept has been developed, a business case has been defined, and the major investment round is about to begin. At this point each innovation concept needs to be evaluated against the strategic…

For Chief Innovation Officers - replace the CINO with a CIMO
Forget the CINO and establish a CIMO
For quite some time there has been an establishment of a new CxO role in the corporate community. Innovation has become such an important macroeconomic trend that firms have started to see the value of have a senior manager responsible for innovation in the top management team. Thus there is now a Chief Innovation Officer at many firms, which is a rather exemplary and proactive decision as it…

The innovation process dismantled (part 4)
Generating and validating brilliant ideas is highly important, but at that stage they are still merely fairly abstract ideas. To fully grasp how they will generate value ideas must be concretized for us to comprehensively understand how they generate the proposed benefits. It includes visualizing the idea, testing it with users, and designing a value proposition.
This is a crucial phase where…

The innovation process dismantled (part 3)
With needs well understood and innovation partnerships established we enter the creative phase of idea management. But idea management is not only about coming up with creative schemes, it is equally about systematizing, evaluating and improving new ideas.
The idea management phase consists in itself of three highly important sub-phases. With pre-described needs as input, now is the time to…

The innovation process dismantled (part 2)
With the right knowledge about the challenges and needs your are addressing you need to engage the right actors to participate with in the forthcoming steps, including the ideation phase.
Reasons to collaborate
Finding the right innovation partnerships is not easy. It requires access to the right networks and a dash of proper matchmaking. Firms that operate in solitude are never as successful as…

The innovation process dismantled (part 1)
Most known innovation process models tend to start with the emergence of new ideas. I would like to reject that notion. Ideas do not crystallize out of thin air, they emerge from the presence of an unfolding need. But it is actually somewhat more complicated than that. Let me elaborate.
Change is the key driver for change
New needs appear as things in people´s surrounding environment change.…

What does the standard contain? The ISO standard contains all of the elements that is required to set up a structured management system for innovation. It builds on the overarching standard for…

The new dynamics of strategic management
Things are not what they used to be The general dynamics of strategic management have not changed much over the last few decades. As long as we can remember we have been relying on a “waterfall approach” to manage large and small organizations. The strategic direction of the organization has always been the responsibility of top management, with the objective to describe the purpose of the…

Why you should assess your organization’s innovation performance (part 3)
What do we measure when we try to measure the innovation performance? As we have mentioned before the most crucial part of assessing your performance is to know what to measure. And the key is to measure the performance of the innovation management systemof your organization. So how do you know if you cover the right things, if you cover them the right way, or if you are missing something out?…

Why you should assess your organization’s innovation performance (part 2)

Most of them come with a complete methodology including consultancy support and a delivery model. Just to mention a few I can highlight IMP3rove(in which I am certified), which was one of the first assessment models, originally backed by the European Commission and managed by AT…

Why you should assess your organization's innovation performance
There has been a lot of fuzz over the last decade on how to assess an organization’s innovation performance. I developed some frameworks myself back in 2008-2009, but during those days innovation management as a discipline was still very premature and most existing models were struggling with what to measure, where to measure, when to measure and howto measure it. The general confusion led to a…
