The innovation process combines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>5th generation innovation process<\/strong> design (Rothwell, 1994; Chesbrough, 2003; Eleveens, 2010 ; du Preez and Louw 2008; E. Enkel, O. Gassmann and H. Chesbrough 2009; O\u2019 Raghallaigh et al., 2011 ); <\/li><li><strong>scenario planning <\/strong>and <\/li><li><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"AI Early Learning Systems (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dtn.net\/scenarios\/earlywarning\/\" target=\"_blank\">AI enabled Early Learning Systems<\/a> for sense-making <\/strong>in future contexts with <\/li><li><strong>personal development<\/strong> in order to humanise innovation. &nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a different direction from Chesbrough&#8217;s open innovation (6th generation), or the later concepts building on innovation ecologies.  Innovation in this DTN process design is still rooted in notions of a firm but the emphasis is on the people doing the innovating.  Why would they innovate?  What interests them to undertake this dangerous side step in their careers with, by definition, a low likelihood of success?  Innovation itself will not engage people to do new things, to take real risks if it is defined as purely institutional renewal.  It is the challenging, difficult personal transformation that happens <em>inside people, inside teams and inside organisations<\/em> (and inside innovative ecologies) as they engage in doing radically new and difficult things.  It is creating a space (magic circle) to step outside a system, not just to maintain it.  The courage to make new parts of the system, or to even make new systems that shift the boundaries of the possible.  The challenge of innovation is not just stage-gate design whether it is Open, 6th generation or Networked 5th generation, it is the deep personal transformation in the participants to see themselves as agents of change not custodians of the current system.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of the focus on this personal transformation, even if innovation ideas were not funded, the participants found ways to bring these ideas back into their daily business practice.  When we tracked the ideas 5 years after the program across the 100s of participants <strong>85% of the ideas were applied in the business<\/strong>.  The people found ways of bootstrapping their ideas,  and through that make the <em>entire<\/em> system more innovative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is this critical combination of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>people<\/strong> (leadership development and new skills training through mentoring, workshops, etc.);<\/li><li><strong>strategic&nbsp;foresight with a focus on the future <\/strong>(scenario planning and early <em>learning<\/em> systems); <\/li><li><strong>business transformation<\/strong> (extending existing businesses, inventing adjacencies or creating greenfield opportunities); and<\/li><li><strong>stage gated approach<\/strong> (&#8220;build a bridge not a destination&#8221; rather than&nbsp;design) <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of the innovative ideas had to be successful in two out of the three scenarios. &nbsp;The entire team tracked (and learned) from changes in the environment. They were looking at the world with a new pair of eyes. This challenged the participants to situate their ideas in <em>multiple future contexts<\/em> rather than extrapolate the present (singular) future. &nbsp;Through this systematic knowledge of future worlds the participants could challenge the mental models of senior executives and reverse-mentor the executives whilst defending their business cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dtn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Workshop13-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dtn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Workshop13-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.dtn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Workshop13-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.dtn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Workshop13-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.dtn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Workshop13-830x467.png 830w, https:\/\/www.dtn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Workshop13-230x129.png 230w, https:\/\/www.dtn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Workshop13-350x197.png 350w, https:\/\/www.dtn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Workshop13-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/www.dtn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Workshop13.png 1594w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Presenting the Innovation Ideas to Mentors <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"609\" height=\"556\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dtn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/screenshot_1863.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dtn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/screenshot_1863.png 609w, https:\/\/www.dtn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/screenshot_1863-300x274.png 300w, https:\/\/www.dtn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/screenshot_1863-230x210.png 230w, https:\/\/www.dtn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/screenshot_1863-350x320.png 350w, https:\/\/www.dtn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/screenshot_1863-480x438.png 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 609px) 100vw, 609px\" \/><figcaption>Combination of Future Scenarios, Simulated Board Games, Mentoring, Presentations, Sparring and learning Research Methodologies to understand the future market, novel contexts and our own constraints<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Innovation: it will take twice as long, and be twice as expensive- if you are very, very, very lucky!&#8221;- Paul Rijkens Former [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-756","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
