Levers - operationalising innovation

Turning innovation (and sales) from an often disappointing gamble into repeatable success – pulling the right levers

What we’re thinking

creating/editing below here

Having defined innovation as:

innovation: creating and executing new – to the individual, organisation, market, industry, world – progress propositions that offers some combination of:
making progress better
making better progress
reducing progress hurdles
increasing possibility of value recognition frequency
whilst maintaining, or improving, the survivability of the innovator and/or ecosystem

We now explore the levers that fall out of our progress-first view of the world. As an innovator, these levers increase the systematic approach to innovation and innovation success.

Which progress levers are you choosing to apply to systematically, and successfully, innovate?

WHAT WE’RE EXPLORING…

innovation levers

Innovation can focus on improving the current progress that is possible.

Operationalising innovation – the levers

ing the progress resource mix

Additionally, altering the service mix leads to the concept behind many of today’s innovative moves. Including:

servitisation typically replaces goods in the mix with physical resources as well as adding systems
digitisation typically lowers employees whilst increases system elements in the mix
artificial intelligence and machine learning are “simply” systems encapsulating knowledge/skills that a seeker can integrate with
digital twins requires adding systems to the mix and often employees to interpret the twin’s info for the seeker
shifting online reduces physical resources (buildings etc) and increases systems in the mix

Altering the progress making activities

combining progress propositions (even from other Helpers)

Shifting along the progress continuum

Challenge if progress sought is eno

Improving how to reach today’s progress potential/progress offered
Improve how Seekers reach the progress they can today
Increasing progress potential
Push the limits of what Seekers can achieve. Help get them closer to the progress they seek than they can achieve today
Aligning progress origins
Help a Seeker through reducing the resource gap to starting or removing nugatory resources
Reducing progress hurdles
Reduce one or more progress hurdles to increase progress potential – watch your growth accelerate
Accelerating value recognition timelines
Accelerate when Seekers recognise emerged value to keep them engaged. Through smarter business models and/or refined delivery methods.
Chasing Progress Sought
Chasing Evolving Progress Origin
Seeker’s constantly gain capabilties, through other progress attempts, meaning their origin evolves – miss that, and your proposition becomes stale.
Segmenting
Segment on progress sought, and progress origin, to unlock innovation and sales
Sliding along the progress continuum
Close the gap between proposition and Seekers, or explore implications of new positions, on the enabling-relieving progress continuum
