Comment on Project Management for Innovation Professionals...

Excellent question sets, especially the project post-audit for lessons learned to determine what might have established the rhythm. The questions become the bridge-builder to have MAMA and DADDY collaborating instead of fighting http://bit.ly/cGQoEZ

Great post Paul...you got rhythm!

interesting idea. I think project managers might easily be able to spot a need since they are looking at the different processes from an overview point of view.

Comment on Innovation Takes Time...

George Rathbun — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 21:39:57 GMT

Time is critical to innovation, however, carving it out is difficult in the hustle and bustle world of corporations. Sometimes using tools to help administer and organize our time thoughts and interactions is critical to achieve an innovation culture.

Idea management software systems tailored for innovation is perhaps one of the great innovation tools of our lifetime. They help gather people into virtual 'invention' rooms to discuss challenges and solutions to these challenges. The back ends of these systems help isolate the best ideas that need to be pursued and also help catalog the lessons learned during the invention and development processes.

There are several major software vendors: Imaginatik, Brainbank Inc, Kindling, Incent Solutions (my company), Hype, JPB, and the list goes on. Everyone has different methodologies but all work great at expediting the innovation process and more importantly, making time for idea development.

Comment on Lean/SixSig vs. Innovation, Yet Again...

Cory Wright — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 15:07:25 GMT

I think your take is pretty good. I'd like to add a few additional thoughts. 1. To co-exist effectively, the dominate culture in the organization MUST support Innovation (freedom, trust, risk-taking, etc...) Innovation doesn't prosper in an R&D ghetto.
2. "Innovation focuses to much on ideas not implementation..." Yes, this is an all to common misconception. A sustainable and high impact innovation system must proactively push for creative insight and ideas not only in the front-end but in ALL phases of bringing a product to market.
3. In my experience, Lean/SixSig programs under-perform, even with their well documented impact. These programs with their laser focus and lack of creativity are missing to many opportunities. Integrating proactive creativity throughout the Lean/sixsig processes would boost results and make it easier to co-exist with Innovation. Currently working on a White paper on this topic with some sample models.

Thoughts?
