We so often struggle to articulate our innovation activity and they can’t project our plans into the future inconsistent and coherent ways. If this rings true of the innovation activity in your organization, then it is in danger of being seen as isolated, one-off events, that fail to link to your organizational strategy.

Furthermore, you’ll be missing out, or not capitalizing on emerging trends and insights where fresh growth opportunities reside.

To become increasingly alert to social shaping, as well as emerging technology and discoveries that might lead to new horizons, we need to connect our ‘today’ with ‘possibilities’ in the future.

Pathways to our new innovation future

Ecosystems and Platforms are our pathways to our innovating future

Ecosystems have suddenly become of age. They can be formed around common concepts fairly rapidly, they can enable cross-cutting innovation to be delivered in highly collaborative ways.

They can, through shared platforms, achieve a closer relationship with the customer, to understand their needs and experience through increased collaboration, and engagement.

Connecting and collaborating opportunities for business seem to be powerful networks of value-adding effect, for finding new economic opportunity. This calls for some radical rethinking of the existing business and deciding the design of the future business.

Connecting Innovation: Our new order of play

January 6, 2018Posted inInnovation DNA, Innovation Knowledge Understanding, New Innovation Era

There is a lot of change occurring in our innovation abilities.

There is this constant shift to more open-sourcing and collaborating. We are seeing profound shifts that technology and digital transformation are bringing us to deliver innovate differently.

These changes are influencing all of our worlds, allowing a very different “connecting” innovation to come into play and provide ‘greater value’

Nothing succeeds in isolation anymore, it needs fully connecting up, to bring increased value to the market and customer needs.

There are major shifts taking shape. What is radically changing how we innovate? We are seeing a significant acceleration of innovative collaborations through ecosystems and platforms provision.
