INNOVATION TRIGGERS Margin Erosion “We operate in a mature industry with a mature product portfolio and our margins are beginning to disappear.” Internal Churn “Our new ideas are stuck in the mud of internal planning and review cycles.” Competition “New competitors are moving into our space and we need to do something to defend our market position.” Adjacent Markets “We see opportunities in adjacent markets (new segments, geographies, etc.) but we don’t know where and how to start.” Mining IP “We have so much IP but we cannot convert it into products that resonate with consumers.” Time-to-Market “Our linear product development process doesn’t allow for nimbleness and trial and error.” Customer Insight “Our product ideas are driven by science and engineering but fail to recognize latent or unarticulated customer needs.” Sustainability “We got lucky once or twice. How do we repeat our market success year after year?”

Innovation means creating change instead of just reacting to it.

“If you don’t get better, you get worse.” My dad

Most products look alike

Good enough Excellent

Innovation means doing what no one has done before.

Innovation means doing what no one has done before. what no one else would dare doing.

Intuitive bets

“It’s such a fine line between stupid and clever.” David St. Hubbins, lead singer of Spinal Tap

3 Design (Thinking)?

Innovation means behavioral change.

CUSTOMER JOURNEY

Design: Humanizes technology Creates simple solutions to complex problems Changes the meaning of things

Design (Thinking)?

Strives to keep bad things Strives to make good from happening things happen. Manager vs. Designer

We don't teach executives to think like designers. We help them bring innovative products and services to market.

Doing Thinking

“The head and hand divided” (R. Sennett) has risks…

“A map is not the territory.” Alfred Korzybski, 1931

Technology People Material = Processes Politics Money Actual materials

4 Do you fail?

"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.“ Samuel Beckett

| Project Masiluleke

5 Do you have an innovation process?

“We don’t have an innovation process. We hire good people.” Steve Jobs

“Design is too important to be left to designers.” Raymond Loewy

Business Analyst Digital Media Designer Strategist Anthropologist Artists Mechanical Engineer Software Developer Architects Ethnographer Industrial Designer Writer Cross-over thinking (and doing)

Role Matrix

ITERATIVE

SYNERGISTIC

6 What about the customer?

…but it is not dead… Nothing has changed

…but it is not dead… Everything has changed!

“In the old days, brands wanted everybody to pay attention to them. Now brands need to pay attention to everybody else.” Umair Haque

All products and services will be SOCIAL Where? Social networks What? Social content How? Social publishing Social search Social gaming Social shopping What for? Social impact Social currency

“Open it up and it will design itself.” Norman Lewis 76

DATA is the bank…

MEANING is the currency…

“Create more value than you capture.” Tim O’Reilly

Social Meaning Value Innovation

8 Does it need to be simple?

Yes (it’s that simple)

Complex ecosystems

Feature creep

“Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.” Antoine de Saint-Exupery

9 The product is the story. The story is the product.

“Because the purpose of business is to create a customer, the business enterprise has two—and only two—basic functions: marketing and innovation.” Peter Drucker

Disrupt schemata

Blend two concepts

10 You.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. In fact, it is the only thing that ever has.” Margaret Mead
