What Successful Innovation Is
Converting a novel product or a novel
service idea into money on the table.
- „novelty“ may be „local novelty“ and not necessarily „global novelty“
- “no money on the table“ = „no successful innovation“
Five ways to finance innovation when there is
not yet a free cash-flow from sales
• Subsidies
• Investors
• Loans
• Savings
• Pre-Sales cash-flow
… or a mix of all five.
Typical dilemmas:
A. my money vs. someone else‘s money
B. free hand vs. reporting vs. subjection
plus risk of failure: will you innovate something that nobody wants to buy?

WHY DO START-
UPS AND NEW
PRODUCTS
FAIL?
Everything seems to suggest pre-sales
• Early income
• No inventory
• Consumer demand testing
• Price level testing
• Sales team testing
• User feedback collection
• Retain entrepreneurial freedom
• Reduce failure risk

- Crowdsourcing
- You must have a working prototype
- Pledges/Backers
- If you hit your goal by the deadline, everyone´s
credit card gets charged and you are good to
go
- If you do NOT hit your goal by the deadline,
nothing happens
Movies:
- Seconds (1966)
- In Time (2011)
- Countdown (2019)
Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart
of wisdom. (Psa 90:10)
Why Kickstarter and similar crowd-sourcing
initiatives do NOT work in practice
• not perceived as „professional“
• commission
• not scalable
• most important reason for failure: inventors are forced into providing
a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), without intermediate stages

... and when I state that a business can be

an idea they usually comment:
"My clients need to test before they buy.“
"I might miss the market if I wait to build.“
"I'm too far along not to finish development."

Incremental vs. Non-Incefemental Innovation
For most existing companies, the organization’s resources, people,
energy, and management attention are fully focused on producing,
delivering today’s products. That includes improving these existing
products, which is incremental innovation.
And in some companies, there are other activities that move the
company into new white space. That area is called non-incremental
innovation.
Example: German steel pipe manufacturer Mannesmann builds up a
mobile phone network (D2) in 1990.
Who Can Innovate. And Who Cannot.
• Serial Innovators vs. Inventors
“Inventors … are primarily idea generators and technology solution providers. If allowed to
operate without guidance and direction from the marketplace, such individuals may
develop into “profitless prolifics,” generating one new patentable technology after another
without any profitable application and, therefore, without any financial return.”
(Bruce Vojak)
Personality traits of Serial Innovators:
• high in openness
• low in agreeableness/high in primary psychopathy
• moderately high in IQ
• high in creativity
• not scientific, but it also works: 16 Personalities/Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (Stevens,
Greg et. al. "Piloting the rocket of radical innovation“)
Price‘s Law
50% of the work is done by the square root of the total number of
people who participate in the work
• 10 – 3
• 100 – 10
• 1000 – 31
• 10.000 - 100
Save Money and Effort: Pareto Principle in Innovation
100% of the Innovation work is done by 100% of the people
80% of the Innovation work is done by 20% of the people
80% of 80% (= 64%) of the Innovation work is done by 20% of 20% (= 4%) of the
people
80% of 80% of 80% (= 51.2%) of the Innovation work is done by 20% of 20% of 20% (=
0.8%) of the people
In other words: if you have 100 people in your R&D department, re-assign the right 80
people to other tasks (to incremental innovation or to facility management) and the
remaining 20 people will still have about the same (non-incremental) innovative
power as the 100 people before that.
www.ip-lawyer-tools.com
Managing Innovation
• Stage Gate Project Management:
„Just let marketing sign off this milestone and you can go ahead to the next
stage.“
… and „marketing“ is never available for signing off, for whatever reason.
• Why there are so few Serial Innovators in large companies:
Serial Innovator: „I found a way to save a million Dollars by spending only
$10.000.“
Manager: „The $10.000 would come out of my budget but the savings would
go into someone else‘s budget. It is not feasible.“
„Serial Innovators“ Law
• In a company of 100, there is one Serial Innovator
• In a company of 1,000, there are two Serial Innovators, maybe three
• In a company of 10,000, there are still two (or maybe three) Serial
Innovators, because the others have left after getting frustrated by
the management
The Funny Thing With Innovation
It is most of the time NOT the innovative people that talk about how to innovate.
Look at the innovative background of innovation gurus.
example: Clayton Christensen – zero tangible innovation in his C.V.
Yet:
- a Harvard university professor for innovation
- wrote a famous book „The Innovator‘s Dilemma“
- coined the term „breakthrough innovation“ (for non-incremental innovation)
Finding Literature About Innovation
• Check the background of the author: is he/she a proven innovator?
• Check the structure of the literature: is IP in the foreground, or Successful
Innovation?
• Check the recommended innovation strategy.
Warning signs:
- The author has not demonstrated to be innovative
- it is about manpower and how to better manage that manpower
- it is about producing and managing IP in high volumes
- it is about big data and how to use it for decision making
This is what you were told at Business School
A similar case: patents for the sake of patents
The Nokia Problem Seems To Have a Name
Contributions
• A clear definition of “Innovation”
• Why most start-ups fail
• The 4x4 Innovation Strategy tool
• Incremental vs. non-incremental innovation
• Pareto principle applied:
20% of the R&D staff does 80% of the innovation
• Price`s Law and Serial Innovators’ law. There are only
one or two serial innovators in each company
• How to find the right literature about innovation

  • 4. Five ways to finance innovation when there is not yet a free cash-flow from sales • Subsidies • Investors • Loans • Savings • Pre-Sales cash-flow … or a mix of all five. Typical dilemmas: A. my money vs. someone else‘s money B. free hand vs. reporting vs. subjection plus risk of failure: will you innovate something that nobody wants to buy? www.ip-lawyer-tools.com

  • 40. Incremental vs. Non-Incefemental Innovation For most existing companies, the organization’s resources, people, energy, and management attention are fully focused on producing, delivering today’s products. That includes improving these existing products, which is incremental innovation. And in some companies, there are other activities that move the company into new white space. That area is called non-incremental innovation. Example: German steel pipe manufacturer Mannesmann builds up a mobile phone network (D2) in 1990.
  • 41. Who Can Innovate. And Who Cannot. • Serial Innovators vs. Inventors “Inventors … are primarily idea generators and technology solution providers. If allowed to operate without guidance and direction from the marketplace, such individuals may develop into “profitless prolifics,” generating one new patentable technology after another without any profitable application and, therefore, without any financial return.” (Bruce Vojak) Personality traits of Serial Innovators: • high in openness • low in agreeableness/high in primary psychopathy • moderately high in IQ • high in creativity • not scientific, but it also works: 16 Personalities/Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (Stevens, Greg et. al. "Piloting the rocket of radical innovation“)
  • 42. Price‘s Law 50% of the work is done by the square root of the total number of people who participate in the work • 10 – 3 • 100 – 10 • 1000 – 31 • 10.000 - 100
  • 43. Save Money and Effort: Pareto Principle in Innovation 100% of the Innovation work is done by 100% of the people 80% of the Innovation work is done by 20% of the people 80% of 80% (= 64%) of the Innovation work is done by 20% of 20% (= 4%) of the people 80% of 80% of 80% (= 51.2%) of the Innovation work is done by 20% of 20% of 20% (= 0.8%) of the people In other words: if you have 100 people in your R&D department, re-assign the right 80 people to other tasks (to incremental innovation or to facility management) and the remaining 20 people will still have about the same (non-incremental) innovative power as the 100 people before that. www.ip-lawyer-tools.com
  • 44. Managing Innovation • Stage Gate Project Management: „Just let marketing sign off this milestone and you can go ahead to the next stage.“ … and „marketing“ is never available for signing off, for whatever reason. • Why there are so few Serial Innovators in large companies: Serial Innovator: „I found a way to save a million Dollars by spending only $10.000.“ Manager: „The $10.000 would come out of my budget but the savings would go into someone else‘s budget. It is not feasible.“
  • 45. „Serial Innovators“ Law • In a company of 100, there is one Serial Innovator • In a company of 1,000, there are two Serial Innovators, maybe three • In a company of 10,000, there are still two (or maybe three) Serial Innovators, because the others have left after getting frustrated by the management
  • 46. The Funny Thing With Innovation It is most of the time NOT the innovative people that talk about how to innovate. Look at the innovative background of innovation gurus. example: Clayton Christensen – zero tangible innovation in his C.V. Yet: - a Harvard university professor for innovation - wrote a famous book „The Innovator‘s Dilemma“ - coined the term „breakthrough innovation“ (for non-incremental innovation)
  • 47. Finding Literature About Innovation • Check the background of the author: is he/she a proven innovator? • Check the structure of the literature: is IP in the foreground, or Successful Innovation? • Check the recommended innovation strategy. Warning signs: - The author has not demonstrated to be innovative - it is about manpower and how to better manage that manpower - it is about producing and managing IP in high volumes - it is about big data and how to use it for decision making
  • 48. This is what you were told at Business School
  • 49. A similar case: patents for the sake of patents
  • 50. The Nokia Problem Seems To Have a Name
  • 51. Contributions • A clear definition of “Innovation” • Why most start-ups fail • The 4x4 Innovation Strategy tool • Incremental vs. non-incremental innovation • Pareto principle applied: 20% of the R&D staff does 80% of the innovation • Price`s Law and Serial Innovators’ law. There are only one or two serial innovators in each company • How to find the right literature about innovation Sign up for my free “Tip of the Week” at ip-lawyer-tools.com www.ip-lawyer-tools.com
