Has innovation changed over the last ten years?

Innovation is certainly a complex and dynamic process that involves many factors and actors and I certainly feel it has been shifting in its focus. I have been thinking of where we have been placing the emphasis over the past ten years.

I decided to ask GPT-4 what major shifts have occurred in how we approached innovation ten years ago and today. It was suggested that these were the following.

Do you agree, what do you feel is missing? I like the broad shifts indicated but what has been missed?

These changes have also influenced the way we structure, visualize, and use tools for innovation. Some examples are:

So these were suggested as the major changes in how we approached innovation ten years ago and today.

I see technology as highly significant, connected software to aid in search and communication across teams and the emergence of platforms, relationships and ecosystems in thinking and design for innovation.

Does anybody have any thoughts to add to this suggested list provided?
