Innovation is done by ‘Moving out of 
the Box’. But HOW does one do it? 
After the initial excitement, WHAT 
technique is to be used to do that. 
Simple actually. Move from product to 
its FUNCTION.

How would you rate a novel umbrella which 
does not use any fabric hood to deflect the 
rain, uses electricity and lasts only for 15 
minutes? 
12/5/2014 www.innovatorsandleaders.com
• Most people I asked said, ' What's the great 
deal? Fabric, in any case, is cheap and what's 
an umbrella that lasts only 15 minutes. Huh, 
big deal!’ 
12/5/2014 www.innovatorsandleaders.com
If you are basing your comment on the present 
utility of this device for use in rains, your 
comment is justified. But if you were an 
innovator, you could be smacked for making 
such a comment.

How do a furniture designer produce a better 
chair? He plays around with the design of its 
four legs, seat, back-rest, capacity etc. This is 
so because primarily he believes that a chair is 
a 'contraption of four legs, one seat, a back-rest 
and maybe two arm-rests'. Inside this 
sandbox, he plays. 
12/5/2014 www.innovatorsandleaders.com
• But the innovator moves from product to 
its function and purpose. Not what a chair IS, 
but what a chair DOES. 
• What does a chair DO? It helps you to sit 
comfortably. 
12/5/2014 www.innovatorsandleaders.com
• To achieve that FUNCTION, any shape will do. 
Once you thus break out of the box of the 
present chair, you can even think of making a 
chair like the image that follows--

• You see, the typical businessman only 
improves the existing product, while the 
innovator moves from HIS PRODUCT to YOUR 
NEEDS- and makes a killing.
