Collaborative Innovation Reference FrameworkChoice of the Innovation Types

Nine different approaches to Innovation Examination of the Innovation TypesThis third presentation, Examination of Innovation Types, uses the innovation framework established above to examine a range of innovation “types” within the context of the innovation framework defined in the Core Innovation Framework deck. We have broken these up into two decks for absorbing the significant detail provided within each type to ‘value’ the often subtle differences in applying the different type to your organization. Using the framework we can establish which focus areas are critical for innovation success in the different innovation types. For example, we can see that Needs-based innovation relies on Trajectories, Discovery and Insight for success because of the importance placed on customer needs. Investigating the innovation “types” within the framework provides more detailed and careful examination of the actual work involved when innovating using that “type” or approach.


Nine different approaches to Innovation Types

The Examination of Innovation Types we have decided to break down into two decks.

We believe the details of each type needs to be absorbed and this simply becomes too much in the appropriate time initially.

The other deck will be published separately from this release but will be re-combined going forward and found on the Wiki at

http://cirf.pbworks.com

Deck A consists of the innovation types covering:

1.Management Innovation2.Service/ Experience Innovation3.Needs-Based Innovation4.Design-Led Innovation5.Business Model Innovation

Deck B consists of the innovation types covering:

1.Open Innovation (external, more open)2.R&D Innovation (internal, more closed)3.Operational Innovation4.Technology-Led Innovation

This is Type Deck B


We are interested in explaining the many facets that make up a successful innovation endeavour. It can be extremely tough to capture and explain the complexity of innovation. We would like to see an emerging reference model for innovation from this starting point. The end result is to create a common innovation model or framework that accelerates acceptance, reduces mystery, constant rework and simplifies innovation efforts. Innovation is dynamic. Opening this set of models allows for it to be constantly improved for all to benefit - this is our stated aim in publishing these models.

We submit these suggested models as a starting point to deconstruct how innovation works and to encourage a “common” innovation model across all geographies, industries and markets. Developing a common innovation model and approach reduces confusion and simplifies innovation work. We believe we can remove a lot of the mystique around innovation and help accelerate its adoption and implementation by firms everywhere if we can agree on basic models and principles.

We would encourage you to feel free to send commentary, corrections, additions or changes to the models or types to Paul Hobcraft or Jeffrey Phillips. We in turn will re-publish the model as necessary under a Creative Commons License, so that anyone who cares can use it and adopt the innovation model. We want this to be open and a transparent process but we will retain copyright while allowing others to copy, distribute, and make some uses of their work as long as we are credited for the original creation.

These are collaborative work-in-progress to achieve a common position for understanding innovation

Our intention behind these different models of Innovation


Deeper examination of innovation types

• We’ll examine the key differences between the NINE different innovation types or strategies that can be explored, recognizing that the innovation processes and many of the ‘core’ innovation capabilities DO remain the same regardless of innovation approach.

• The constantly shifting boundaries of innovation matter and understanding the multiple options available becomes increasingly important to master.

• Why do changing innovation boundaries matter so much? Because, at its most extreme, failure to detect, acknowledge, and respond to these changing boundaries can make the difference between organisational success and failure.

• Each type of innovation described here requires some distinct attributes to be successfully deployed- these “differentiation points” define the type of innovation you want to do and how to go about it


Approach Type – Innovation Models• Innovators need to choose specific innovation strategies, models or types:

– Management Innovation– Open Innovation– Design led Innovation– R&D led innovation– Service/Experience Innovation– Business Model Innovation– Technology Innovation– Needs-based Innovation– Operational innovation

What approaches to innovation should we choose? What is appropriate to our position?Different approaches are appropriate to different innovation goals

N.B. These choices aren’t dependent or mutually exclusive – a firm can conduct “open” innovation and design-led innovation simultaneously, for example


Innovation Strategies- Decision Path

• The choice of the strategy approach is determined by what your firm wants to achieve and equally what you have available to you.

• Any gaps need to be recognized and you need to gain the knowledge and experience to build those into your approach and time expectations to achieve the result you would ideally like.

• Choosing a specific innovation strategic approach has consequences on the people, skills, organizational structure and many other facets of the innovation model. These need to be equally addressed.

Strategic Types of Innovation

Short Explanations


Open Innovation

OpenInnovation

Wisdom ofMany

Intellectual Property

Problem Definition

BuildingTrusted

Relationships

We believe these four critical factors are distinctive to this type to highlight and for you to consider carefully .


Open Innovation• Open Innovation seeks and leverages ideas from partners, customers and

individuals external to the organization. This assumes that many great ideas exist outside of the corporate boundaries. Open Innovation was first defined by Henry Chesbrough in his book Open Innovation.

• Open Innovation is perhaps the innovation “type” attracting the most attention in the media.

• OI supplements but does not substitute conventional practices

• There are four components that are uniquely different and applicable to open innovation:

– Intellectual Property Thinking– Crowdsourcing/Wisdom of Crowds– Problem definition– Building trusted broader open relationships


Resource Considerations: Finding the best partners, engaging the partners and customers, vetting ideas and intellectual property, abilities to make clear connections, networking emphasis.

Culture & Climate: Establishing the value of an open collaborative model and its more different social practices

Business Development/PartneringExternal Network & Collaborative Management & Protocols

IP Transfer

Social Media Application

Strategic Development: Developing a partnering strategyand identifying the best possible innovation partners, concernfor constant fit and relevance of propositions

Software / Information Networks

Outward facing collaboration & contribution positions

Interactive Value Creation : Degree of Connectivity x Degree of Interactivity x Degree of Sharing

Absorptive Capacity. Relationship Capacity & Multiplication Capacity

Fast concept work

Rigorous Business Case: factors for projected value captured, risks highlighted, licensing costs outlined, opportunity costs of use of key resources, likely impacts, need for ‘hard’ evidence

Communications: Establishing the need for open innovation, creating channels and messages to third parties, clearly identifying innovation needs, conceptual thinking, clarifying value and need

Legal: Establishing a rapid vetting process for the provenance of new ideas, reflecting on the sharing of IP, shared meaning & solutions.

Enabling and ScalableInfrastructure

Systematic Innovation Process

The consistent flow of knowledge to explore breaking opportunities

Managing more on platforms and through ecosystems

A clarity within the value proposition but flexible to explore alternatives

The management of internal and collaborative tensions

“We use people to find content, we find content to find people”


Open Innovation Model Maturity• Managing open, distributed, modular innovation means managing conflicting criteria and rationales,

including conflicts between innovation and dependability, flexibility and efficiency, and flexibility and reliability

• As the use of Open Innovation progresses within a firm, the model will mature through these three phases:

Partner Firm

Partner Firm

Partner Firm Customers & Clients

Supplier

Externally aware – receivingideas from third parties

Integrated – exchanging ideas with customers and partners

Orchestrated Marketplace – All participants in a valuechain involved in innovation

Institute or University Competing

Firm


Open Innovation Pros/Cons

Open Innovation presents powerful incentives and some significant challenges•Positives:

– Many ideas from a wide variety of sources provide enhanced perspective

– The “voice of the customer” has more weight– More minds applied to the problem

•Cons:– Intellectual Property concerns based on idea origin– Expose strategic direction to outside parties– Identifying the “right” people to address a problem


R&D Led Innovation

R&D Led Innovation• The most “typical” product driven innovation strategy, led by internal

research and development teams

• Mostly focused on discovering new products for new and existing needs across multiple time frames

• Unique factors include– Highly collaborative & cross functional coordination, a converging point of

knowledge.– Deep technical capabilities for ‘seeing beyond’ balancing incremental with

evolutionary research– Strong research focus and methodologies- the convergence point and highly

structured.– Different product life cycles to ‘unlock’ the business value

Regular Innovation Development Program is Established

Synthesize, theorize, explore, hypotheses, clarify, investigate, design, develop, test, implement and improve

Scalable, repeatable, end-to-end need, relationship focused

Strategic intent: Leadership in creating “new to the world “technology that create defensible intellectual property, and unlock value

Communications: clear internal communications about targeted market opportunities. More restricted and limited external communication.

Resource Considerations: Increase the stock of knowledge, broad & narrow ‘in-house’ expertise, responsiveness, commercially aware, experimental learning, profit-sharing view

Capability & Competency: Creative thoughts, experimentation, selection, testing, market appraisal, resolution of scientific and technical uncertainty, to ‘see beyond’ for potential discovery

Culture & Climate: Focus on investigation and research into critical problems. Careful to avoid “blockbuster” mentality. Reward mentality for orientation, project delivery emphasis and resolving roadblocks

Metrics & ROI must be well articulated constantly for investments made

End result orientation to market


R&D Innovation Model Maturity

As the model matures, R & D innovation becomes increasingly more difficult

• As a result the R&D led innovation effort must identify new technology or breakthrough developments to solve and grow the business (extend capabilities, explore adjacent markets for expertise)

• Alternatively the R&D led innovation effort can apply its methodologies to research service, experience and business model innovations (apply existing capabilities to new problems)

• Seek collaboration or extend internal knowledge through institutions, universities or its existing partners (Open Innovation)

• Reflect on how to move beyond traditional boundaries.


R&D Innovation Pros/Cons

Relying on R&D alone for innovation presents a number of opportunities and challenges•Positives:

– Clear provenance for intellectual property– Focused innovation efforts

•Cons:– Innovation centered in only one portion of the business– Typically tied to product innovation ignoring opportunities in

services, business models– Limited inputs and discussions with outside entities– Too focused on protection of ideas



OperationalInnovation

Knowing Your Pain Points

Step Change in Performance as Goal

Current Sources of Inertia

New Ways of Working& New

Behaviours



Operational Innovation• Operational innovation is when breakthroughs in existing performance have to

be made, a ‘step’ change not an incremental one to extract cost or improve just efficiency .

• At this operational level, we can identify management practices, management processes, management techniques and organizational structures as those potentially requiring significant change to the rules and routines by which work gets done inside organizations

• A high competence of change-ready needs to be present• Unique factors include:

– This requires a ‘step change’ on performance caused by changing events and shifts that need responding too

– Having a clear understanding of the different (multiple) pain points that need reflecting upon and changing

– The need is to engage the hearts and minds of all involved in the evaluation promoting a strong sense of urgency, overcoming inertia

– Ending up with new ways of working and different behaviors.


Business Case: justify, validate, emerging metrics & measurement of returns

Lifecycle Management approach

Primary Focus

Time scale recognition & scalable considerations

Areas of Operational Innovation opportunity :

-Customer Loyalty-Cycle time reduction-Development process

-Time to service initiation-Outsourcing

-Shared Services-Integrated Global Delivery

- Cost Drivers- Pain points for customers

Clear Investigation & Validation methods

Regular Innovation Development Program is Established and Separate from these more breakthrough initiatives

Scalable, repeatable, well integrated end-to-end need.

Strategic Intent: redesign of operational processes to achieve internal breakthroughs in innovation performance

Communications need to articulate the problems and be disciplined

Resource Considerations: This is not TQM/ Six Sigma, Incremental, it is thinking through a ‘step-change ‘and needs a high competency of change readiness, industry awareness, shared accountability, objectivity,, risk management Capability & Competency Build Elements: taking a more holistic

approach to redesigning for breakthrough results as markets mature and change, products and processes shift and the result in performance diminishes. Strong positioning skills & business development process

Culture & Climate ‘must’ alter the ‘status quo, realign and commit fresh resources, HR reinforces new behaviors, watch for systemic inertia as trigger for change

For operational innovation to succeed,the process must be persistent, constantlyconsidering new ideas with clearly defined

evaluation criteriaQuick, accurate measurement of benefits and ROI impact

‘The invention and deployment of new ways of doing work’

Ongoing targets: Achieve scale, breakthrough in efficiency , flexibility, effectiveness and agility

Degree of change and strategic need

Change measurement criteria1) cost drivers of the business, 2) competitive differentiation points, 3) problem areas for satisfaction points for

customers.

Exploring upstream and downstream potential & implication assessments

Early warning systems awareness


Operational Innovation Maturity

As the model matures the key to operational innovation needs to centered around certain criteria:– Processes that influence (perception of) value– Processes that influence strength of (changing) relationships– Processes that influence (perception of) adding greater service– Processes that when combined with other parties accelerates and reduces

costs.

Consistently looking at– The cost drivers of the business– The competitive differentiation points– Problem areas for satisfaction points for customers– For example: when the design, production and maintenance of products,

processes and services, are distributed across extended organisational networks, are they at the same time, innovative and dependable?


Operational Model Innovation Pros/Cons

Operational Model innovation differs from Lean/Six Sigma•Positives:

– Focuses on “step change” operation or process needs– Dramatically improves or eliminates process steps or operations– Radically reduces costs or improves process or service

•Cons:– Very easily confused with Six Sigma or Lean processes– Often focused on very incremental issues


Technology-led Innovation

Technology-LedInnovation

Clarity of Purpose& Potential

Disruptive Potential

Advocate of Change Leads



Technology-led Innovation• Technology-led innovation looks to exploit advances.

• The choice is does technology lead or support concepts, market ‘pull’ or technology ‘push’ and depends on its potential to disrupt or enhance to contribute to innovation change.

• Unique factors include– Technologies ‘disruptive’ potential has to be seen and evaluated

against existing offerings for assessing its value– Is it evolutionary or superior to what is available– The clarity of its purpose and potential needs defining, correct arenas,

targets and actions.– A clear champion & advocate of the change needs to lead.

Utility or Mechanism decision for Competitive Advantage


Technology-Led Innovation Maturity pathRecognize the stages to go through with technology-led innovation

• Innovation Decision Process theory. Adopters of a technology progress over time go through five stages in the diffusion process. First, they must learn about the innovation (knowledge); second, they must be persuaded of the value of the innovation (persuasion); they then must decide to adopt it (decision); the innovation must then be implemented (implementation); and finally, the decision must be reaffirmed or rejected (confirmation). The focus is on the user or adopter.

• Rate of Adoption theory. Diffusion takes place over time with innovations going through a slow, gradual growth period, followed by dramatic and rapid growth, and then a gradual stabilization and finally into a decline.

• Perceived Attributes theory. There are five attributes upon which an innovation is judged: that it can be 1) tried out (trialability), that results can be 2) observed (observability), that it has an advantage over other innovations or the 3) present circumstance (relative advantage), that it is not 4)overly complex to learn or use (complexity), that it fits in or is 5) compatible with the circumstances into which it will be adopted (compatibility).

• Need-based Diffusion Strategies - Need for recognition and process involvement. The chances of successfully "selling" - Need for vertical support structure to overcome technophobia. Support provided by staff for discipline/content credibility - Need for well-defined purpose or reason. If the innovation can be demonstrated as an effective, efficient and easily applied solution to those focused needs, it is more likely to be adopted and integrated. - Need for ease of use and low risk of failure. Need for ease of use and early success - Need for institutional/administrative advocacy and commitment. Promote the conditions and activities that can enable adoption to prevail.

Why does structuring innovation really matter?Many companies fail to extract the most from their investments in innovation, this can be attributed to many pitfalls, to name a few:

1.Not having a complete understanding of innovation, all the different options to achieve a sustaining innovative organization2.Insufficient insight into what customers really want 3.Failure to make innovation connected and explicit in vision, objectives and part of the strategy and fabric of the organization4.Lack of balance between the ‘dynamic’ parts required to be successful5.Weak links between business strategy and product portfolio6.Insufficient engagement of the whole organization to pursuit innovation7.A lack of resources or not placed in the appropriate part that brings value in your high priority areas.8.A weak innovation process that places its focus on one part, not appreciating the whole process needs equal emphasis9.A missing set of enabling structures within the organization10. Knowing that different types of innovation require ‘distinctive’ recognition

Nurturing and managing innovation is an intricate process that is demanding.
