<h3>Innovation - a definition</h3>
<h3><font color="#505050" >Innovation - a definition</font></h3>
Before starting with the scenario stories it is relevant to define <b>innovation</b>.
In 1897, James Henry Atkinson, a British inventor, came up with the notion of combining a small piece of wood, a wire spring, and a piece of cheese. He called it the "little nipper."<br><br>
Usually, managers equate innovation with creativity. But innovation is not creativity. Creativity is about coming up with the big idea. Innovation is about executing the idea converting the idea into a successful business.<br>
Procter Brothers, the Welsh company that bought the patent from Atkinson, has been fortunate that, in the 107 years since, no one has come up with a more efficient means of dispatching rodents. In fact, the company still commands 60% of the British market. For nearly every other business, though, building just one better mousetrap every century is not enough. To stay ahead, they must constantly search for the next idea that will best the competition.<br><br>
<b>Innovation</b> is: executing new ideas to create value. All three parts are important - to innovate you have to do something new, you have to actually execute the idea, and doing so must create value. <br>
Of course, successful innovation isn't simply a matter of coming up with ideas. It's the ability to nurture those ideas, make them work, and bring them to market that distinguishes a truly innovative company.<br><br>

All three parts are important - to innovate you have to do something new, you have to actually execute the idea, and doing so must create value. <br><br>
In the four scenarios we developed bellow we looked in both the idea generation part, as in the implementation part of the innovation.

Project Overview

This project is about defining how innovation 2.0 will look like. In other words what is the future of innovation. The time span we chose is 20 years from now. Therefore the scenarios are define for the year 2030.

The team received this challenge from Mr Russ Conser - Coordinator of the Game Changer Department from Shell.

Innovation - a definition

In 1897, James Henry Atkinson, a British inventor, came up with the notion of combining a small piece of wood, a wire spring, and a piece of cheese. He called it the "little nipper."

Procter Brothers, the Welsh company that bought the patent from Atkinson, has been fortunate that, in the 107 years since, no one has come up with a more efficient means of dispatching rodents. In fact, the company still commands 60% of the British market. For nearly every other business, though, building just one better mousetrap every century is not enough. To stay ahead, they must constantly search for the next idea that will best the competition.

Of course, successful innovation isn't simply a matter of coming up with ideas. It's the ability to nurture those ideas, make them work, and bring them to market that distinguishes a truly innovative company.

Usually, managers equate innovation with creativity. But innovation is not creativity. Creativity is about coming up with the big idea. Innovation is about executing the idea � converting the idea into a successful business. Innovation is: executing new ideas to create value. All three parts are important - to innovate you have to do something new, you have to actually execute the idea, and doing so must create value.

In the four scenarios we developed bellow we looked in both the idea generation part, as in the implementation part of the innovation.

Key Group Learnings

  • Iteration within the groups, helps deepen the scenario, adding quality, surprise and plausibility. On top of it, Following expert's opinions (in our case reading JSB's work was extremely mind opening) and not omitting current trends, build up on the scenario's plausibility
  • The process of building scenarios prepares you for foundation of learning or accepting new ideas - readying you for serendipitous ideas and encounters.
  • Different members researching different areas - offers more perspectives for the same issue - making, at least in our experience, more surprising. On top of this, it ads to the surprising part of the scenarios, having in the team people with different backgrounds.
  • Technical preparation of the presentation is as vital as working on the presentation itself :-)
