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.
Innovation happen when an Idea is implemented to create an impact.
It has three element:
1. Idea
2. Implementation and
3. Impact (Profit Companies – Higher Revenue or Lower Cost and Non-Profitable Companies – Other Criteria's of measurement)
Slides presented by Prof. Rishikesha Krishnan at CIO Leadership Summit at Hotel Movenpick on April 26, 2013. It gives an overview of the book "8 steps to innovation: Going from jugaad to excellence" by Vinay Dabholkar and Rishikesha Krishnan.
Big Bang Disruptions throw many enterprises out of business. Enterprises need to have a strategy to face these disruptive innovations. In this presentation we will go over some such disruptive innovations happened in the past to understand what it is and how some companies have faced these disruptions successfully. We sill also have a look at some of the potential disruptive technologies that are in the making.
This presentation was first delivered at the Monthly Meeting of ISACA, Chennai Chapter.
Design thinking for Startups: An introductionArchana Devdas
This presentation begins by questioning our approach to business today and explores the idea of design and branding for startups. Presentation made @headstart.

During the third stage of the Design Thinking process, designers are ready to start generating ideas. You’ve grown to understand your users and their needs in the Empathise stage, and you’ve analysed and synthesised your observations in the Define stage, and ended up with a human-centered problem statement. With this solid background, you and your team members can start to "think outside the box" to identify new solutions to the problem statement you’ve created, and you can start to look for alternative ways of viewing the problem.
Ideation is at the heart of the Design Thinking process. Ideation sessions help you to challenge assumptions, think outside the box, and explore uncharted territory. In the ideation phase, you explore and come up with as many ideas as possible.
In this presentation guide, you will learn and develop skills in six types of ideation techniques that can be used in the Design Thinking cycle. They include:
1. Brainstorming
2. 2 x 2 Matrix
3. Dot Voting
4. 6-3-5 Method (Brainwriting)
5. Special Brainstorming (Negative Brainstorming, Figuring Storming, and Bodystorming)
6. NABC (Need, Approach, Benefit and Competition)
This guide provides a means to introduce ideation techniques to your workshop participants other than the traditional brainstorming method. It helps to make your ideation sessions fun and exciting.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Gain knowledge on the various ideation techniques that can be used in the design thinking cycle.
2. Develop skills in the application of ideation techniques.
3. Understand the expert tips and key learnings of ideation techniques.
CONTENTS
1. Brainstorming
2. 2 x 2 Matrix
3. Dot Voting
4. 6-3-5 Method
5. Special Brainstorming
6. NABC

This presentation is focused on the very basic model which is followed in India and has been recognized all over the world as well. Please go through the PPT in order to get to know more about the JUGAAD system of India. We are really good in that.
Frugal Innovation is about doing more with less. Entrepreneurs and innovators in emerging markets have to devise low cost strategies to either tap or circumvent institutional complexities and resource limitations to innovate, develop and deliver products and services to low income users with little purchasing power, often at mass scale and arguably in a sustainable manner. My DPhil research seeks to understand this institutionally complex, constraint-based, and low cost innovation which is designed in or for emerging market contexts.
FRUGAL INNOVATION IS THE PROCESS OF REDUCING THE COMPLEXITY AND COST OF GOODS AND ITS PRODUCTION. FRUGAL INNOVATION IS KNOWN BY THE NAME JUGAAD IN INDIA.

Book summary of 8 steps to innovation—going from jugaad to excellence
1. 8 steps to innovation—going from Jugaad to
Excellence
by Vinay Dabholkar & Rishikesh T Krishnan
Short summary for class discussion
By
Prof.S.Suryanarayanan
2. 8 steps to innovation-going from jugaad to excellence
by
Vinay Dabholkar and Rishikesha T Krishnan
ANYONE CAN INNOVATE provided conditions are right
D Udaykumar, an Architect designed the symbol for rupee.
Thiagarajan Ramaswamy, an engineering student, designed now
popular commercial wet grinder different from hand driven rational
grinder.
Nagaraja, a diploma holder in BEL came up with idea of replacing
gold headed transistors to nickel headed transistors saving Rs 18
crores in 2008.
3. What is innovation
Innovation happens when an idea is implemented to create an impact.
Impact can be profit or social good.
Innovation begins with curiosity, not necessarily creativity
Innovation is iterative process, not linear.
Innovation is not just risk taking, but assessing and mitigating risks.
Process innovation—Arvind Eye Hospital
Product innovation--- hybrid car
Customer experience– Cafe Coffee Day
Business model innovation—IPL, Narayana Hrudalay
Most organisations incorporate multiple dimensions of innovations.
4. Idea management
Innovation is basically about managing the idea funnel
effectively.
Idea funnel:
Building and sustaining idea funnel—suggestion box, quality
circles
Improving idea velocity– more ideas and experiments
Improving the batting average– singles or sixers
5. Challenges to idea management
Overcoming resistance to change
Overcoming prediction disability
Challenge to idea management is analogous to elephant and
rider conflict
Elephant—emotions, traditions, inertia( resistance to change)
Rider---logic and rationality (prediction disability—fails to correct
the incorrect instinctive verdict of the elephant).
Companies use different methods to direct the rider, motivate
the elephant and shape the path to overcome elephant-rider
conflict.
6. PART ONE
BUILD AN IDEA PIPELINE
STEP 1
LAY THE FOUNDATION
Innovation programmes, Imagination breakthroughs,
Examples: M&M, 3M, Toyota, Galaxy(surfactant)
Key processes of Innovation programme:
1.Idea Management ( who submits, who selects, who funds)
2. Buzz creation ( campaigns, rewards, innovation day)
3. Training and development( prototyping, TRIZ, idea
communication, leadership development)
7. Idea Management System.
Six levers are;
1.Source: where idea comes from ( employee, customer,
supplier,..)
2. Scope: ( What is the scope-Improvements ,process or product,
customer experience, business models etc.)
3. Stages: number of stages before implementation.
4. Technology: presentation of ideas-suggestion box, website,
and so on.
5. Selection: selection process-committee, voting, and such
methods.
6. Sponsorship: Allocation of resources, physical, financial,
human.
8. BUZZ CREATION
“ Power of ideas” campaign launched by Economic Times in 2009:
“ Of all the things you can lose your heart to, an idea is the most
obstinate. It will set your heart aflutter with whispers of success and
riches. It will share your bed, your shower, your desk. It will sit next
to you at dinner. Some learn to ignore it. Some learn to love it.
People call them entrepreneurs.”
START UP.
9. Turn around of Indian Railways in 2008:
Constraints: Passenger fares can not be raised; political
decision. Freight fares can not be raised since
competition from road transport intense.
Innovative approach:
1. Modify freight rates to target high value
commodities.
2. Carry more freight per train
3. Increase the number of trains by reducing their
turnaround time.
o Buzz creation by slogan “ Heavier, faster and longer” .
10. BUILD AN IDEA PIPELINE
STEP 2 CREATE A CHALLENGE BOOK
Curiosity and problem consciousness
Challenge book—identifies organizations’ problems,
future desires and needs.
Three important sources of identifying problems:
1. Feel the pain
2. Sense the wave
3. See the waste
12. BUILD AN IDEA PIPELINE
STEP 3
BUILD PARTICIPATION
Four elements of building participation:
1. Role Model—people who inspire
2. Community of practice— groups of people
informally bound togather by a shared expertise
and passion
3. Innovation catalysts– encourage idea givers, offer
constructive inputs
4. Rewards and recognitions
13. PART TWO
IMPROVE IDEA VELOCITY
1. How do we improve the speed at which ideas
move forward?
2. Is it possible to organise ourselves better so that
idea velocity can improve?
3. Are there any competencies that can be built to
facilitate this process?
14. IMPROVE IDEA VELOCITY
STEP 4
EXPERIMENT WITH LOW COST AT HIGH
SPEED
Fail early, fail often, fail inexpensively
Four types of assumptions in conducting
experiments of an idea:
1. Need-what customers need
2. Technical—how we can put together what we have
3. Production—prototype to field ‘ scaling up
4. Commercial—how we can make profit
o The real outcome of experiment is LEARNING,
more than experiment works or not. ( failure
fallacy).
15. IMPROVE IDEA VELOCITY
STEP 5
GO FAST FROM PROTOTYPING TO
INCUBATION
1. Idea communication – story telling helps; good
stories are concrete, curiosity flow, rich in
emotion and have credibility)
2. Idea championing ( examples—George
Fernandez, Einstein and Customer as champion
and co creator) )
o Organisations help ideas move faster by
effective innovation reviews and supporting
incubation of new ideas.
o ( iPod, Adsense, Dandhi march)
16. STEP 6
ITERATE ON THE BUSINESS MODEL
Who is our customer?
What do we offer him?
How do we reach him?
How do we make money?
Examples: Shaadi.com / Bharat Matrimony
17. Who is my customer?
Identify your customer. Example: Air Deccan;
different types—CEO’s wife, Sai Baba, Medical
evacuation, exploratory survey.
What to offer? Product or service to solution
Red bus– selling software to selling on line
tickets.
IBM—product to solution; Airtel-IBM
18. How to reach the customer?
Patent protection, partnership, complementary
assets.
How to make money from innovation?
Ease of imitation and ease of finding
complementary assets decide your competitive
position.
19. PART 3
INCREASING THE BATTING AVERAGE
STEP 7
BUILD AN INNOVATION SANDBOX
1. Innovation process is like a sand box; there are
constraints or boundaries within which
experimentation tales place.
Example of sandbox through Aurolab
Sandbox element Aurolab element
Fixed walls Constraints such as low cost,
IOL,quality and scalability
Sand Environment for
experimentation like making
no frills IOLs ( without shape
and colour) in the basement of
a hospital.
Tools Equipment
Kids A cross functional team .
20. 2. Affordable loss heuristic( or rule of thumb)
To find out more about the potential of an
innovation, how much we can afford to lose
today.
Biocon—oral insulin project—affordable loss
heuristic—then commit the resources to the
project.
21. 3. Create a platform- platform is a configuration
of technologies and interfaces that allows
customisation to meet the needs of different user
groups or construction of new applications.
Microsoft—Windows platform
Biocon—Fermentation process; enzymes to
biopharmaceuticals.
Reva—electric car; In future, Reva technology
may become a platform for Mahindra.
Tata 407– tipper, pickup van, bus, trick etc.
4. Open innovation—open source platform like
linux.
22. INCREASING THE BATTING AVERAGE
STEP 8
CREATE A MARGIN OF SAFETY
Story of Air Deccan, low cost airline, great
innovative idea; crash of IT system leading to
business failure and sell off. How do we guard
against failure?
How do we avoid the ‘ optimistic bias’ tendency to
exaggerate future forecast. Steve jobs failed on
Lisa project.
Three precautions: Creating alert:
1. Refer baseline rate– a kind of gestation period ( IT
system in airline industry will take years to be
mature for use)
2. Look at historical events.
3. Premortem –failure scenario ( not risk analysis )
23. Do last experiment first; identify ‘ leap of faith ‘
assumptions and then validate with experiment.
Idea Leap-of-faith assumption
Pringles chips to carry images to
make eating them more fun (P&G)
We can print images/ text on pringle
chips
Make a cinema with India
mythological stories in cities and
villages ( palke)
Indians in cities and villages will
pay to watch the movie
Start a helicopter taxi service in
bengaluru ( air Deccan)
There will be people who will pay rs
35000 per hour and hire helicopter
service
Start an online portal for
matchmaking ( shaadi.com)
People will pay for bio data
submitted to this site.
