Innovation Process A-to-Z/360

The flexible improvisation-driven model for innovation project management doesn’t discard structure, just as there is a clear structure to good jazz.

The structure, as chords do in jazz, serves as a basis for improvisation, experimentations, discoveries and innovation.

In innovation, this structure is created through roadmaps, guiding principles, business processes, systems and organizational charts. Strategic planning and road-mapping processes cannot guarantee brilliant flashes of creative insight, but they can prepare minds and increase the odds that such flashes occur in real time.

Right Balance Between Structure and Chaos

You need a certain amount of chaos to be creative but not to the point that you feel overwhelmed by its amount. Too much uncertainty discourages people from mobilizing their best effort. Direction, purpose, and the right amount of structure create freedom. People feel liberated by stretch goals and guidelines.

Loose-Tight Leadership

Leading innovation is a delicate and challenging process. You need to encourage expansive out-of-the-box thinking to generate new ideas, but also filter through these ideas to decide which to commercialize.

Divide time between the creative (right-brain) and analytical (left-brain) activity to achieve better results.

10 Tips

Intellectual Teamwork

Cross-pollination of Ideas

  

 
 

Use a balanced "loose-tight" style of leadership for this purpose.

Loose-tight leadership alternates the creation of space for free idea generation and InnoBall-powered simulation of their implementation with a deliberate tightening that selects most promising ideas for further development.

  

 
 

Looseness usually dominates the early stages of the innovation process.

In the later stages, tightening becomes more important to scrutinize the concepts and bring the selected ones to the market.

 		 

Creativity Management

Divergent and Convergent Thinking

  

 
 

The Fun Factor

As innovation today is about passion and winning and creating new things, fun has become a big element of the innovation strategy of many highly successful businesses.

People achieve much more if they enjoy the climate for innovation.
