Success depends on both what you
do and how you do it. There are
specific elements that help you
and your company to be more
innovative. But it's not a
matter of simply following
directions. "The 'secret
formula' is actually not very
formulaic. It's blend of
culture, methodologies,
infrastructure, and work
practices," says Tom Kelly from
IDEO, a World leading
product design firm.

According to
IDEO, the Reading, Writing,
and Arithmetic of Innovation are
Observation,
Brainstorming, and
Prototyping.
"Identify every barrier that
keeps people away from your
offerings, especially for
first-time customers. Then
systematically tackle each one,
using a combination of
simplicity, clear communication,
and customer-centered design,"
advises
Tom Kelley from
IDEO.

Example: Harley-Davidson
At
Harley-Davidson, a manufacturer
of heavy-weight motorcycles,
management commitment to new
product design via
cross-functional teams is
clear.
Representatives from
engineering, purchasing,
manufacturing, and marketing
have always had influence on the
future direction of new
products.
|
|
|
| |
In addition, management is implementing
self-managed work teams to help meet the challenges of manufacturing its
products in a timely fashion. Harley-Davidson's self-management work teams
are on the way to becoming the standard for the industry.
