four box innovation

Often we do get a little muddled on our framing assessments for any innovation activity we are considering, and we then often don’t ask the appropriate questions at the right time.

I think there is a neat four-box approach to this which hopefully you might see has value to your rating and judgements of the innovation opportunity.
The four framing criteria

•        Formulation Principles
•        Formulation Risks
•        Execution Principles
•        Execution Risks

So the need is to ask critical questions in given boxes of enquiry.
