14. 7 steps to more innovative capacities
Innovation Partners
1.The "Silent closet" is definitely passé.
2.There are many smart people who want to support you.
3.Innovation does not begin with an idea, it begins with a question.
4.Operating blindness is not conducive to innovation.
5.The best idea is often created out of several good ideas.
6.The sooner the customer is involved, the lower the flop-risk.
7.Ideas only become valuable with their implementation.
