Innovation is a methodology for solving problems
See: The Missing Pieces of Innovation – a blog post
This is a summary of the innovation methodology. © Ved Sen
Award winning ambulance design questioned the
purpose of the ambulance and changed it from
transporting patients to initiating care, as an
extension of the hospital. (Link)
Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children
adopted techniques used by F1 pit stop teams to improve the handovers between surgery and intensive care. (Link)
Paul Simon travelled to South Africa and immersed
himself in free form sessions with musicians there for Graceland. He travelled to Memphis to construct the lyrics (link)
A number of business such as Aviva, John Lewis
and others have set up ‘lab’ environments, to
drive innovation projects, and act as start up accelerators. (Link)
GE based it’s new software business for IOT in Silicon Valley,

Define clearly the problem to be solved
Define the desired outcome and what success
looks likeAsk the question in a few different ways to arrive at
appropriate framing
Define the context for comparison. Establish the
baseline for current best of breed solutions. Explore
adjacent & other domains for how the problem is
solved.
Create conditions for creative thinking.
Challenge comfort zone. Use people with varied backgrounds. Combine
creative thinkers with deep experts. Encourage non predictable outcomes
Create physical space for collocating ‘start up’
team. Use Google Sprints to rapidly get to
prototypes. Iterate to MVP. Use design thinking
over expert opinion.
Allow MVP / prototype to grow within an
innovation network. Provide support for scaling, morphing,
merging with other ideas or pivoting.
