Ok… so the title of the post is deliberately inflammatory. But now that I’ve got your attention.<\/p>\n
Innovation (the act) does not make a successful innovative organization<\/em>.<\/p>\n The truth is there are more innovations that never see the light of day or that die an early death – or stagnate without investment – for one simple reason:<\/p>\n The failure to be able to recognize the innovations that you keep and the ones you should kill – and the guts to act decisively on that information<\/em>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is that skill, that practice, that operating mechanism that separates successful innovative organizations and organizations that innovate a lot without seeing tangible results.<\/p>\n Innovation is about passion but successful innovative organizations must be dis-passionate in their evaluation of their innovative endeavors. The best way to do that is to use data and real customer feedback to evaluate the value – monetized value<\/em> of the innovation in the market place. Failure to do so will result in two things:<\/p>\n 1) Missed opportunities.<\/p>\n 2) Failed products.<\/p>\n One important point, however, is that we must recognize the difference between conjecture and data. Conjecture is what you get when you sit around a conference room table and debate the viability of an innovation. Data is what you get when you prototype\/wire frame\/storyboard the innovation and ask potential customers for feedback.<\/p>\n Once you are able to accept these two fundamentals:<\/p>\n 1) Successful innovation is the result of understanding which innovations to invest in, and which to kill – and the guts to act decisively on that information.<\/em><\/u><\/p>\n 2) The data by which you evaluate the innovation can only be generated by the market (user input).<\/p>\n You will have a shot at creating a innovative organization (or company). Now you just have to execute (like that is easy!!!!!).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ok… so the title of the post is deliberately inflammatory.
