Everyone who has a naturally creative spark knows the dreaded feeling. The moment you realise that you’re actually being discouraged from having ideas because other people think they’re a waste of time. Have you ever experienced this: Your boss, manager or CEO decides that they need to come up with some new ideas for something. […].

I’ve been running Lean LaunchPad programs for a couple of years now, and all along, I’ve thought that the number of customer development interviews that a team does is a good indicator of how successful they’ll be. And when we measure interview numbers against progress on the Investment Readiness Levels , the correlation is very strongly positive.

Co-development partnerships. Broad business networks. Independent networked organizations. Meta organizations. Collaborative arrangements. Temporary networks of innovation. Global networks of partners…. … Whatever you prefer to call them, innovation ecosystems are a core element in the growth of any organization. The reason is simple: having a diverse “entourage” of past, present, and future open innovation partners with whom to share risks and ideologies as well as reduce new product or service

I've made a simple drawing to illustrate what many of you already know. Too many people in the innovation arena are apt to talk about ideas, which are relatively easy to get, but fail to consider the effort involved to move from an idea stage to an innovation stage. I've often compared this to the amount of force it takes to get a rocket into orbit.

Are we seeing a change in mentality within large organizations towards encouraging individuals to ‘break out and become more intrapreneurial within their part of the business?'. Is this tapping into the increasing desire to be part of creating something new, to grab back the engagement needed, that sense of identity and a growing sense of ownership?

I certainly believe we are in need of a fresh approach to innovation. We are facing unprecedented challenges, sluggish growth and increasing competition from unexpected sources. We need to increasingly deliver better end results; as more distinctive, bolder and creative, delivering greater value to our customers’ needs. Can we change our thinking to achieve this?

When my kids came along naturally they adopted other sports than the ones I was familiar with so I've learned to "love" swimming and soccer.

A light bulb went on for me as I was reading a series of reports from Deloitte University Press on disruption. When I was reading this, I remembered the terrific value we all seemed to have obtained from the pioneering work of Doblin and its ten types of innovation when it came out some years back. I felt this nine patterns of disruption has the same huge potential to frame and dialogue around the potential within disruption.

I think there are few firms that were more innovative than Intel. Notice that I'm using the past tense. Intel, lead by an excellent leader in Andy Grove, had a passion for being the best. Grove's focus - "only the paranoid survive" kept Intel as an industry leader and innovator. When I was younger, working for Texas Instruments, Intel seemed to constantly reinvent the computing industry.

What is impeding innovation in your business today? I asked this question at a Master Class on Innovation I ran recently for senior executives leaders in large organizations. The answers included many corporate culture issues such as: - We are risk averse. - There is a fear of failure. - There is a fear of the unknown. - People like to stick to the ways they have always done things. - Departments work in silos and do not co-operate. - People want to avoid blame when things go wrong.

All too often strategy is not influencing the behaviours and outcomes around innovation, it is simply allowing them to be left to chance. Innovation is being ‘pushed down’ the organisation for others to interpret and offer their answers. They execute to their own understanding and often the innovations end up as not strategically aligned. That is plainly wrong, not knowing the strategic objectives it is one of the principle causes of innovation failure and requires fixing.
