Book summary of 8 steps to innovation—going from jugaad to excellenceSuryanaryanan Suri
This is a book summary to facilitate those who are interested to bring innovative culture in their organisations. I strongly advice them to read the original book.
The Innovation Engine, Andrew Breen, American ExpressLean Startup Co.
Large, established organizations fear disruption from big tech and startups. In trying to thwart that they have resorted to several approaches to innovation to scale such as labs, acquisitions and spin-outs. Most have not succeed often due to the impediments that corporate culture and organizational design bring. The Innovation Engine is a framework developed by Andrew Breen which addresses these issues. Andrew has built this not only from his experience building eight tech startups but also in his current role building a Lean startup at American Express.
The document outlines 8 steps to build a systematic innovation capability:
1. Build a pipeline by laying the foundation of an innovation program with processes for idea management, buzz creation, and training.
2. Create a challenge book to source ideas by identifying pain points and opportunities.
3. Improve idea velocity by experimenting quickly and cheaply, rapidly prototyping, and iterating business models.
4. The final steps to increase success rate include building an innovation sandbox to safely test ideas and creating a margin of safety.
How can you adopt innovation at your company ? Why should you bother ? How can you do it ? What matters and why ?
Here I share my learning from starting and running a startup and building data science products in thomson reuters and other organizations
The document outlines a 5-stage design thinking process: 1) empathizing with users to understand needs, 2) defining problems, 3) ideating new solutions, 4) prototyping concepts, and 5) testing prototypes with users. Each stage is described in 1-2 paragraphs explaining the goals and methods used at that point in the process.

Design Thinking vs. Lean Startup: Friends or Foes?Tathagat Varma
My talk at #AgileIndia2017 on what are the similarities and strengths of Design Thinking and Lean Startup, and where and how we could use them more effectively.
This document summarizes a presentation on product discovery. It introduces concepts like design thinking, lean UX, design sprints, and how they relate to agile product development and discovery. It discusses tools like the lean canvas that can help structure product discovery work. It also notes some potential pitfalls to avoid, like being too focused on tools/practices over organizational culture. The presentation concludes by discussing next steps like organizing a grand challenge event and forming interest groups.
The document discusses agile approaches to innovation. It notes that while many executives see innovation as important, few companies' efforts actually deliver competitive advantages. Traditional innovation approaches are too focused on "invention" and "renovation" rather than breakthrough ideas. Additionally, most workers do not feel motivated or that their ideas are well-reviewed in innovation programs. The document advocates embracing more agile and experimental approaches to innovation, drawing from examples like rapid prototyping, frequent iteration and collaboration.
Some years ago, Eric Ries, Steve Blank and others initiated The Lean Startup movement. The Lean Startup is a movement, an inspiration, a set of principles and practices that any entrepreneur initiating a startup would be well advised to follow.
Projecting myself into it, I think that if I had read Ries' book before, or even better Blank's book, I would maybe own my own company today, around AirXCell or another product, instead of being disgusted and honestly not considering it for the near future.
In addition to giving a pretty important set of principles when it comes to creating and running a startup, The Lean Startup also implies an extended set of Engineering practices, especially software engineering practices.
Industrial design has traditionally focused on late-stage product development and solutions, with designers trained to generate visual ideas and test products independently. In contrast, design thinking engages designers earlier in the process to frame problems through user research and concept development with an emphasis on teamwork, facilitation skills, and a user-centered approach using shared mindsets and language.
This document discusses product discovery and defines it as determining "what to build", "why is this product needed", "who has the problem", and "what should be built". Traditional product discovery is viewed as pre-work to generate ideas, but it faces challenges in fast-paced environments where needs change. Agile focuses on how to build well but not what to build. The document advocates for modern product discovery approaches like design thinking, lean startup, and dual-track development to focus on quick, validated learning through customer development and business model innovation. Key aspects of product discovery discussed are understanding customer pain points, jobs-to-be-done, and determining what customers would pay for.
The document introduces Adobe Kickbox, an open-source framework for nurturing innovation in organizations. It consists of a 6-step process for employees to innovate at work, including ideating ideas, improving ideas, investigating ideas in the real world, iterating based on experiments, and infiltrating successful ideas to senior leaders. The framework provides various tools like the Zen statement, scorecard, and canvas to help employees through each step. It also outlines how organizations can deploy Kickbox through 5 phases, from building initial support to running workshops to making innovation kits available. The goal is to create a structured environment where employees are encouraged to innovate within a business context.
Every business should innovate - and innovation does not require coming up with earth-shattering new ideas. Innovation in business can be subtle and measured. Innovation should also be inclusive, meaning that all employees in a company should be able to give ideas on how to improve the business. Restricting innovation to a particular level of management or department is wasting potential resources that you already have - the creativity that lies hidden within your work force.
So get everyone involved and start innovating. If you don't you may just be left behind.

2) A Jewish education group in New York created new youth programs applying SIT's creative thinking techniques.
3) A Colombian construction company reduced unfinished housing deals and increased profits by innovating their processes with SIT.
4) A Singaporean school applied SIT tools to create academic and social innovations like improving homework and canteen lines.

Robert Fan - 2012 Lean Startup ConferenceEric Ries
This document discusses the challenges of sustaining disruptive innovation after a startup achieves success. It notes that it can be harder to innovate within a successful startup due to competing demands on resources and pressure to maintain existing revenue streams. The document outlines three steps the author took to continue disruptive innovation at their startup: 1) Create the right environment by isolating resources and not overpromising changes, 2) Set goals and boundaries through customer development and building minimal viable products, and 3) Use milestones and progress checks separate from existing workflows to regularly assess assumptions and iterate differently than before.
I delivered this talk at 8012 Design Center. The talk explores what kind of problems agile and design thinking help explore individually, and whether there are opportunities to combine them in solving some kind of problems?

Lean Startup ideas, trends, and best practices through the lens of my experience in four industries, three startups, and two continents.
Lean Startup methodologies are applicable to both small and large organisation focused on creating new products and services under conditions of extreme uncertainty.
Incremental innovations are good enoughRajagopalan V
Incremental innovations can be a forte of any company as long as they have the culture to be innovative. Disruptive innovations happen once in a while and few companies evolve out of them. But doing continuous improvement, and having a process to take ideas to realize products is essential for any company to stay alive.
The road to everyday innovation: Winning over barriers with design thinkingPriszcilla Várnagy
The document discusses overcoming barriers to continuous innovation in organizations. It identifies three common barriers: 1) Innovation theatre, where resources are invested without clear strategy or processes; 2) Lack of creative stimulation, where idea generation relies solely on submissions rather than facilitated sessions; and 3) The myth of the lone genius, where collective creativity is not utilized.
For each barrier, an antidote is provided. For the first barrier, the antidote is strategic alignment from top management. For the second, the antidote is using facilitated ideation sessions with diverse groups. And for the third barrier, the antidote is building a culture that values collective creativity and intrapreneurship. Real-world examples from
My invited talk at TCS AgileCafe, Bangalore on Sep 29. In this talk, I explore how large #enterprises are creating #innovative products using #leanstartups
The document discusses implementing a new standardized commercial bid process and contract transition process at ISS Facility Services using design thinking. It outlines the design thinking process, including inspiration, ideation, and implementation phases. In the inspiration phase, the problem is defined and user needs are understood. Ideation involves brainstorming solutions. Implementation brings the solutions together, with planning, execution, and ensuring minimal impact on employees and customers. Roles and steps in the contract transition process are also detailed.

The Art & Science of Product Management by AOL Product ManagerProduct School
The fascinating thing about Product Management is that it is a rare craft that beautifully blends art and science. Art lies in developing consumer empathy and building relationships, while science lies in leveraging those learnings and assets to experiment, pivot and fine tune until you have reached a product that solves human centric problems for your target consumers.
Aru Bhat shared some insights on how to navigate the unpredictable waters of Product Management.
The document provides an overview of the I-Corps E245 Syllabus Revision 17 course. The course aims to help teams determine the commercial readiness of their technology through experiential learning and customer discovery. It is taught over several in-person sessions and online lectures, and requires teams to spend significant time outside of class talking to customers. The goal is for teams to develop a go/no go decision about commercial viability and a transition plan if moving forward. Coursework focuses on testing business model hypotheses through customer interactions rather than academic papers or presentations.
Lessons Learnt: Transitioning from Component to Squad TeamsProduct School
The document summarizes lessons learned from transitioning an engineering team from a component model to a squad-based model. It discusses challenges with the previous component model including conflicting priorities and communication overhead. The transition involved establishing squad design principles with joint product and tech leads and autonomous squads. It emphasizes getting buy-in by addressing concerns, running it as an experiment, and being ready to iterate based on learnings. The key lessons are to decide if squads are the right solution, be transparent in the process, and treat it as an experiment willing to fail fast.
5-Day Remote Innovation Certification Program Bryan Cassady
This document advertises a 5-day remote innovation certification program. The program teaches the essentials of innovation through an intense training using the ABCs framework - Alignment, Build, Communicate and Check, Systems. Students will learn tools and methods for innovation, remote working, and pitching ideas. They will work on real-world projects with other students. The program aims to help students stand out and get hired by over 30 international companies looking for remote innovation talent. It is led by Professor Bryan Cassady and includes workshops, group work, and feedback.
This document provides information about a two-day Lean Innovation workshop taking place on January 20-21, 2011 in Shanghai. The workshop will be led by Mark Adkins and will teach participants how to apply Lean principles to product development to lower costs and increase returns. It will provide an overview of Lean Innovation techniques through lectures, exercises and assessments. Attendees will learn how to streamline their development processes, identify waste, and use tools to improve predictability and lower manufacturing costs.
The document outlines an agenda for a Lean-Agile leadership workshop for executives. It will begin with comparing waterfall vs Lean-Agile methodology, focusing on adopting a value-driven mindset by looking at culture first. It will then cover Agile product management, discussing topics like limiting work in progress, prioritization using journey maps and story maps, and the product owner role. Executives will also have a Q&A about Agile transformation journeys and be provided with self-learning aids.
The document announces a series of two 3-day workshops in October 2015 in Mumbai and Bengaluru organized by CII-DSIR-Tel Aviv University on strategic mindset in research and innovation. The workshops will be led by renowned faculty from Israel and will provide certifications while sharing best practices on cutting edge innovation methodologies. The workshops aim to sensitize decision makers to strategic innovation and corporate venturing to gain competitive advantage.
This document describes an online incubation program called BeMyApp that helps startup teams turn ideas and prototypes into viable products. The program includes intensive mentoring from experts, technical support, resources, and a 1-to-1 coaching platform. Teams progress through ideation, prototyping, incubation, and acceleration stages. BeMyApp offers various incubation programs from 48-hour hackathons to 8-week online incubations to help emerging startups develop minimum viable products, test with customers, and launch. The goal is to deliver feasible, desirable, viable, and innovative products ready for market.
Did you know that you can develop awesome products with zero product specifications ? We have recently quantified the gains for a product we built using Lean Startup and MVP approach and were pleasantly surprised to find that we could quantify minimum 47% gain in time-to-market, 32% cost savings, 55% improvement in product quality and 40% gain in business value as compared to traditional product development methods.
The document compares the Waterfall and Agile models of software development. The Waterfall model follows sequential phases from requirements to deployment, while the Agile model emphasizes iterative development and frequent customer feedback. Waterfall aims for predictability and documentation but can face challenges from changes, while Agile enables adaptation but may lack up-front planning. Examples provided include using Waterfall for systems like healthcare apps and Agile for websites and social media.
Jacqueline Stetson Pastore presented on tactical product design. She discussed using a transparent design process involving user research, UCD process and project management, and creating project artifacts. This includes conducting user research to develop user personas, stories, and journeys. It also involves using agile methodologies like Scrum with sprints and kanban boards. Project artifacts include work breakdown structures, Gantt charts, budgets, and research deliverables to document the process from research to product development and iteration. The goal is to have a stackable, buildable process that is transparent and allows continuous collaboration, discovery, and iteration.
This document provides an overview of an inspiration speech on being agile in product management. It discusses the agile manifesto and frameworks like Scrum. Exercises are included to help attendees experience agility. The document also discusses how agile has grown in popularity and is now required by some organizations. It notes the importance of getting agile or risk being outsourced. Finally, it provides examples of how to break down a business case into user stories to support agile development.
This document announces an innovation workshop led by Praveen Gupta over two days in June. Praveen is an experienced innovator and author of several best-selling books on innovation. The workshop will teach Praveen's Breakthrough Innovation methodology, consisting of five phases (Target, Explore, Develop, Optimize, Commercialize) to help participants generate innovative solutions and products. Attendees will learn the methodology, apply it to real projects, and discuss innovation opportunities. Those who register by May 24 will receive free autographed copies of Praveen's books. The agenda covers conceptualizing innovation, identifying opportunities, and applying the Target and Explore phases of the methodology.
Accelper Training And Certification PresentationPraveen Gupta
The document discusses Accelper Consulting's innovation training and certification programs. It highlights case studies where the training reduced innovation timelines from over a year to just days or weeks. The training is meant to teach organizations how to engage employees at all levels in innovation to drive profitable growth. It describes the Brinnovation framework, certification process involving theory, practice, and projects, and guarantees competency development. Accelper recommends scheduling a pilot program to launch the training.

The program teaches the essentials of innovation using a framework called the ABCS of Innovation: Alignment, Build, Communicate and Check, Systems. Each day focuses on one element and combines lectures, group work applying concepts, and real-world projects. Upon completing the program, students will have the skills and tools to work effectively on remote innovation teams and stand out to companies looking to hire. The program is led by an experienced professor and includes other experts in areas like creativity, change management, and remote work.
Design Thinking workshops from Catalignvpdabholkar
This is a short presentation on the design thinking workshops offered by Catalign Innovation Consulting and facilitated by Vinay Dabholkar. Catalign specializes in context-friendly workshops in which participants go from business challenges and disruptive trends to prototypes and pitch.
https://www.catalign.in/p/design-thinking.html
A journey from Computer Science to Cognitive Sciencevpdabholkar
1) The document discusses Vinay Dabholkar's journey from computer science to cognitive science and references various concepts from cognitive science including predictive coding, the free energy principle, and embodied cognition.
2) It discusses several key papers and researchers that helped establish predictive coding approaches, including Rao and Ballard (1999), who proposed that perception can be modeled as Bayesian inference with feedback connections representing predictions.
3) More recent work by Karl Friston extended these ideas into the free energy principle, proposing that living systems act to minimize free energy and establish homeostasis through active inference based on hierarchical predictive processing.
Highlights and reflections by Vinay Dabholkar on his work as a consultant, teacher, and author in the areas of innovation strategy, design thinking, and mindfulness during October-December 2020
Vinay Dabholkar's Catalign Quarterly newsletter provides an overview of his work in design thinking, innovation strategy, and mindfulness from July to September 2020. It details an online course he taught at IIM Bangalore, a panel discussion he participated in, workshops he led on design thinking and mindfulness, and articles he published on problem-solving approaches.

Mindfulness on the go: A 2 day workshopvpdabholkar
Whether we like it or not, a large part of our thinking is wasteful. It expresses itself as repetitive and compulsive thought patterns typically labelled as worry, anxiety, frustration, blame, guilt etc. This drains our energy and hinders creative decision making. Mindfulness is about recognizing thought patterns to be wasteful while thinking. This workshop explores how mindfulness can be experimented with on the go - any time, anywhere.

The Matrix as a system vs thought as a systemvpdabholkar
The document compares and contrasts the systems of "The Matrix" and "thought as a system". It discusses six key similarities between the two systems: 1) You have to see them for yourself to understand them, 2) They both sustain gaps between perception and reality, 3) People are slaves to the systems, 4) The systems are pervasive, 5) It's possible to hack or perceive cracks in the systems, and 6) It may be possible to see the systems from within. The main difference is that The Matrix is portrayed as an enemy while thought is not intentionally trying to do anything.
Most of us find it difficult to allocate time (say, 30 minutes) for an activity such as meditation. How to steal time during the day, say while we are waiting for the elevator, and meditate? Here are a few tips on "Mindfulness on the go: meditation in a time stealing mode". These slides were used during a half-day workshop conducted in Bangalore, India.

Designing and Sustaining Large-Scale Value-Centered Agile Ecosystems (powered...Alexey Krivitsky
Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.
Originally presented at XP2024 Bolzano
While agile has entered the post-mainstream age, possibly losing its mojo along the way, the rise of remote working is dealing a more severe blow than its industrialization.
In this talk we'll have a look to the cumulative effect of the constraints of a remote working environment and of the common countermeasures.
