How to do open and front end innovation. 5 Principles. Insights & experience...Martin Malthe Borch
This document provides principles and examples for open innovation from experiences in biohacking and management consulting. It discusses 5 principles to accelerate open innovation: having integrity and passion for a vision, co-creating with humans at the center, transparency by sharing work, differentiating with unique designs, and maintaining agility. Examples discussed include biohacking, DIY science, citizen science projects, bio art, and using science fiction to envision the future. The goal is to influence culture and design the future through open participation and sharing ideas.
Discusses how to build innovation into business processes after the first 'big idea.' Intended originally for pharmaceutical and life sciences but applicable to other sectors.
The document discusses improving innovation quotient. It begins by explaining that innovation is difficult because organizations are designed to stifle it and it means stopping existing successful practices. It then introduces the innovation quotient as a way to measure an individual or organization's capacity for innovation. Key components that impact innovation quotient are strategy, culture, processes, resources, and relationships. Trust behaviors between individuals and across an organization can also impact innovation. A behavioral trust framework is presented as a way to identify specific trust-building and trust-damaging behaviors and increase relationship trust to ultimately improve innovation.
ResolveTO - Dr. Andrew Maxwell: Corporate Innovation StageResolveTO
Dr. Maxwell has not met a senior leader in an organization who did not list innovation as a priority. Yet most struggle to increase the level of innovation activity in their organizations. Based on 15 years of research, he has observed that this is often because they focus on innovating, without first understanding and removing the barriers that stifle innovation. During this presentation, Dr. Maxwell will share and show you how to apply his unique Behavioural Trust Framework® (BTF), which you will be free use in your organization after the conference. He has found that leaders who use this framework to diagnose and address innovation barriers are able to rapidly increase innovation activities in their organizations.

The Lean Startup method focuses on reducing the time between product iterations through validated learning about customers. It defines the unit of progress as validated learning rather than completing stages of production. This allows startups to test hypotheses through experiments and gain customer insights faster to minimize the total time to discover what customers want. Traditional assumptions like knowing customers and the future can destroy startups, so the Lean Startup validates assumptions through measurable results.
This document discusses different approaches to innovation and idea generation. It argues that directing creativity towards a specific problem or task ("in-the-box thinking") results in more ideas, more innovative ideas, and more actionable ideas than non-directed creativity ("outside-the-box thinking").
The document describes a study where participants were split into two groups - one given directed creativity exercises focused on developing a new chocolate product, the other given general non-directed instructions. The directed group generated more ideas that were more original and relevant.
Directed creativity provides a "stimulus" to cut across routine thinking patterns and combine ideas in new ways, resulting in more innovative solutions tailored to the problem at hand compared to non-
Building Healthy Innovation Ecosystems for Your ProjectsAggregage
In this webinar, Nick Noreña will walk through an Innovation Ecosystem Model that he and his team at Kromatic have developed to help investors, heads of product, teachers, and executives understand how they can best support innovation in their own ecosystem. He'll also go over metrics we can use to measure the health of our ecosystems as we build more resources for innovators.
This document discusses why most innovation processes fail and introduces a new approach called Outcome-Driven Innovation (ODI). It argues that the traditional "ideas-first" approach to innovation is flawed because it generates ideas without understanding customer needs, making it unlikely to satisfy unmet needs. The evaluation and filtering of ideas is also flawed without this customer understanding. ODI is presented as a better alternative that focuses on understanding customer needs before developing ideas.

Thinking Inside The Box - Systematic Inventive ThinkingNguyen Trung Tuyen
The document provides an introduction to systematic inventive thinking and innovation tools. It discusses how innovation has transformed from an optional activity in 1995 to a necessity in 2014. The document then covers various innovation tools including systematic inventive thinking, breaking functional fixedness, subtraction, multiplication, and function follows form. It provides examples of how these tools have been applied by companies to develop new products and services that better meet customer needs.
This document discusses managing disruptive innovation within large companies. It uses the analogy of parenting teenagers to describe how large companies struggle to nurture disruptive innovations, which require a different approach than more incremental innovations. The document provides guidance for both "parents" (large companies) and "teenagers" (disruptive innovations) on how to create a "living apart together" environment where disruptive innovations can thrive within the large company structure. This includes setting boundaries but allowing freedom, providing staged financial support, encouraging learning from mistakes, and building on intrinsic rather than extrinsic motivation. The goal is to get the best of both the large company and entrepreneurial worlds.

Create a blue ocean using Innovation and Project Managementfrancishung
As the world is becoming more global, China is facing problems in competing with other developing world in labor cost, and the global economic downturn has drastically reduced export to US and the European world. There are winners and losers in this game: only the companies that are constantly innovate can innovate their way out and maintain their leadership and long term sustain growth. This presentation provides a intro to the first step in innovation.
The document discusses the design process. It states that design is a creative planning process with no perfect design. The design process is a method for planning practical solutions to problems and is influenced by requirements or criteria and constraints. It describes the DEAL process as define the problem, explore solutions, act on the best solution, and look back and evaluate. The design process is never final and aims to improve the design through multiple iterations. It also lists the seven resources of technology as people, information, materials, time, energy, capital, and tools/machines.
The document discusses myths and solutions around business innovation. Some key myths addressed include that innovation just happens naturally, effective processes are not important, and experts are needed to drive innovation. The document argues instead that innovation must be intentionally made to happen, ineffective processes can hinder it, and diverse thinkers outside the norm are valuable. It provides solutions like rewarding failures, focusing on customer needs, opening dialogue, and ensuring the right portfolio of projects by deciding what not to pursue.
The document is a primer on project management that covers basic principles like scope management, planning, execution and review. It discusses important concepts such as the scope triangle, critical path, and Brooks' theory of the "mythical man month". The primer is intended to provide guidance on making projects successful by focusing on clear goals, requirements, planning, change management and delivery.
This document summarizes a meeting focused on debunking common innovation myths and providing simple innovation strategies and practices. Attendees learned about 5 common myths, such as the ideas that only a few people can innovate, that lots of ideas is the key to innovation, and that the best problem solving is done alone. Simple strategies were presented, like integrating ideas, collaborating in teams, and spending more time defining problems rather than solutions. The meeting aimed to inspire confidence in applying innovation and left attendees feeling excited.
The document discusses managing a Thanksgiving dinner project on short notice. It uses this analogy to explain how to effectively manage a statement of work for an inherited project with tight deadlines and expectations. It emphasizes understanding stakeholder needs, defining requirements and deliverables, assessing and mitigating risks, and setting success criteria to guide the project to a successful completion.
Dealing with Estimation, Uncertainty, Risk, and CommitmentTechWell
Here are three key uncertainties that are often important for software projects:
1. Requirements uncertainty - Unclear or changing requirements can introduce significant risk. Getting requirements right up front reduces later changes.
2. Technical uncertainty - The complexity of the technical solution, unproven technologies, and integration risks can all increase uncertainty. Spikes or prototypes help reduce technical risk.
3. Resource uncertainty - Not knowing if the necessary skills and staff will be available when needed can jeopardize a project. Ensuring resources are committed reduces this risk.
Focusing on these top uncertainties early helps establish a realistic plan and reduces risk of cost and schedule overruns. Other risks like market changes or third party risks are also important to evaluate based

Ted2010 tom wujec_marshmallow_challenge_web_versioncmcmt1391
The document describes The Marshmallow Challenge, an activity where teams have 18 minutes to build the tallest free-standing structure out of 20 sticks of spaghetti, one yard of tape, one yard of string, and one marshmallow. It finds that business students typically perform poorly while kindergarteners perform well, because kindergarteners are less afraid of prototyping. The document also discusses how incentives and diverse skills on teams can improve outcomes. The goal of the challenge is to help teams identify obstacles on their projects and develop shared experiences and language around prototyping and facilitation.
The document summarizes key aspects of teaching and learning in the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP). It describes PYP education as experiential and child-centered, with learning building progressively on children's existing knowledge through assessment, values, and developing the Learner Profile attributes. It also references transdisciplinary themes that incorporate global issues into the curriculum, transdisciplinary skills to prepare children for global society, and interconnecting the six subject areas without treating them as isolated. The framework provides structure through its written, taught, and assessed curriculum.

It also references transdisciplinary themes that incorporate global issues into the curriculum, transdisciplinary skills to prepare children for global society, and interconnecting the six subject areas without treating them as isolated. The framework provides structure through its written, taught, and assessed curriculum.
The document discusses the "Marshmallow Test" which studied children's ability to delay gratification. It found that children who were able to wait longer for a second marshmallow had better life outcomes including higher SAT scores, healthier habits, and more career and financial success. While delaying gratification is difficult, the document suggests people can learn strategies to improve self-control when faced with temptation.
The document describes a DevOps game called the Marshmallow Challenge where teams compete to build the tallest freestanding structure using spaghetti that can support a marshmallow on top. The game aims to teach DevOps principles like collaboration, continuous learning, and applying feedback. It discusses how different groups like kindergarten students versus business students or engineers perform. The rules and process for playing the game are provided along with learnings around integrating development, operations, testing and more.
The Marshmallow Challenge involves teams building the tallest freestanding structure they can in 18 minutes using only 20 sticks of spaghetti, one yard of string, one yard of tape, and one marshmallow. The winning structure is the tallest with the entire marshmallow on top and not touching or supported by anything else at the end of the time limit. Teams can use as much or as little of the provided materials and can break or cut them as needed.
I found this teambuilding activity on TED http://www.ted.com/talks/tom_wujec_build_a_tower.html and gave it a try. This is the slide deck I used to conduct the activity.
The document describes instructions for conducting a marshmallow challenge exercise in which participants are divided into teams and given supplies to build the tallest free-standing structure they can within a time limit. The challenge is done over two rounds of 9 minutes each to allow participants to apply lessons learned from the first round. Teams are given spaghetti, string, tape and a marshmallow to construct their structures, and are aimed to build the tallest tower while keeping the marshmallow on top.
SharePoint and Lean Development: Critical Factors for Accelerating Time to Va...Dave Healey
From the lean enterprise to the lean startup, organizations are increasingly turning to lean production practices to create and preserve value with less work. SharePoint’s broad deployment, mature functional capabilities and robust extensibility make it a natural candidate for lean development scenarios, yet realizing the promise of the platform is not without risk.
This session covers the basics of lean production and explores the risks and possibilities in lean development with SharePoint. Through real-world case studies we discuss the seven most important factors for accelerating time-to-value across
- Economic,
- Cultural, and
- Engineering dimensions.
Design Thinking for More Innovative and Effective ForesightWorldFuture2015
The document outlines a master class on using design thinking to become a more innovative and effective futurist. It discusses seven steps for thinking about the future, including laying the foundation with research, challenging assumptions, telling stories through scenarios, and shaping the future. The class agenda includes learning design thinking techniques like empathetic interviewing and prototyping scenarios, then refining the scenarios based on testing and feedback. The goal is for participants to gain skills in strategizing and planning for alternative futures.
The document outlines the agenda for a 3-day workshop on rapid disruptive innovation. The workshop will cover various phases of disruptive innovation including problem definition, trend spotting, scenario development, disruptive idea generation, idea evaluation, prototyping, and presentation. Participants will learn tools and techniques for each phase, and work through exercises applying a 90-day methodology to generate disruptive ideas and prototypes for an identified problem or opportunity.
The document discusses six "headwinds" driving the need for innovation: demographic, economic, environmental, technological, geopolitical, and identity changes. It argues that key responses are focus within companies, community support for business and innovation, collaboration between firms, leadership at all levels, and knowledge/education. It then discusses different types and levels of innovation, challenges of innovation like risk and disruptiveness, and how leadership, collaboration, learning, and communities can support innovation. The overarching messages are that the future is uncertain, doing things the same won't get you where you want to be, and investing in knowledge/learning pays off.

It covers three main topics: [1] Winning the business case for accessibility by understanding business objectives and championing the initiative; [2] Developing accessibility policies and processes through standards, stakeholder buy-in and integrating accessibility into product lifecycles; and [3] Training and testing through user-centered design, disability inclusion and continuous improvement.
Testing the unknown: the art and science of working with hypothesisArdita Karaj
Testing what we know, or have a clear understanding of, is relatively straight forward, as is making decisions based on the expected result. But today’s world is presenting us with the Unknown and the Ambiguous, which can only be approached by hypothesizing and experimenting - a lot! This requires intentional thinking, and a different strategy to observe in context.
This session will uncover how testers are helping their teams and product owners, by basing their testing on the science behind creating hypotheses and running experiments. A testing mindset and probing the context around use cases are some of the most valuable competencies testers bring to the team in order to enable decisions based on data.

For each component, it lists reality check questions to evaluate the strength and viability of the idea, strategy, team's experience and motivation, funding sources and changes over time, and sustainability after initial funding ends through strategic alliances or ongoing need for the service. The document also briefly outlines roles of the internet like interactivity, crowdsourcing, crowdfunding, and data visualization that can support a social startup.
This document discusses innovation through microservices. It begins by defining innovation as executing new ideas to create value for customers. It then discusses how to innovate through a microservices approach using a platform that allows for rapid deployment, lean analytics, and a build-measure-learn process to fail fast and learn quickly. This approach creates an antifragile system that gains from stress and shocks by measuring impacts and adapting in response.
A talk by Tim Basadur and Ellen Moran PhD
Basadur Applied Innovation & Leadership Dialogues
Many companies are returning to a changed business context and need to quickly solve a range of new problems or reinvent their products and services. This is an exciting opportunity to innovate. Many fewer recognize that achieving these creative results efficiently requires an effective process, specific skills and tools, and the right blend of thinking styles working in sync with one another. When any of these are lacking, teams may struggle to innovate. To help leaders, business owners and HR professionals engage these challenges, Ellen Moran and Tim Basadur will provide an introduction to the Simplexity Method for Applied Innovation which is designed to enable teams and organizations to achieve innovative results quickly.
Session Outcomes:
• Discover the necessary elements for innovative results – The Innovative Results Equation • Learn the four creative problem-solving preferences of team members and how their way of interacting can be a facilitator or roadblock for team innovation. • Understand the four-stage innovation process to move teams through problem-finding, problem-defining, problem solving and solution implementation in a way that drives strong team alignment and commitment. • Leave with practical tools and frameworks that can immediately boost creative collaboration where you work.

UX Antwerp Meetup January 2019 "User Centricity in a Corporate Environment"UX Antwerp Meetup
This document discusses the importance of user centricity in corporate environments. It begins by stating that taking a user centric approach can help companies reach product/market fit sooner, understand users and markets sooner, and lower acquisition costs. However, it notes that truly user centric products require validation with target users. While user testing provides validation, it does not validate things like organizational needs, problem solving ability, or technical viability. The document then discusses various tools and methods that can be used to gain feedback and validation at different stages, including interviews, surveys, design principles, design studios, design sprints, and data validation. It argues that these tools are important to help align stakeholders, speed up the design process, and make ideas
The document discusses challenges and opportunities for supporting web entrepreneurs (WEs) through European Union programs like Horizon 2020. It notes that WEs thrive on disruptive ideas and flexibility but often find EU programs too bureaucratic and focused on long-term projects. The document proposes making programs more suitable for WEs by focusing on ideas over procedures, providing reusable technologies, allowing WEs to shape programs, and evaluating proposals based on potential impact rather than academic criteria. The goal is to better support the ambition and creativity of WEs and help turn their ideas into real-world impact at large scale.

2. Game Rules
• Build the Tallest Freestanding Structure:
– Tallest structure measured from the table top surface to the top of the marshmallow.
– Structure cannot be suspended from a higher structure, like a chair, ceiling or chandelier.
– Do not search the internet for answers.
• The Entire Marshmallow Must be on Top:
– Cutting or eating part of the marshmallow disqualifies the team.
• Use as Much or as Little of the Kit – Spaghetti sticks, String and Tape:
– The team cannot use the paper bag or scissors as part of their structure.
• Break up the Spaghetti, String or Tape:
– Teams are free to break the spaghetti, cut up the tape and string to create new structures.
• The Challenge Lasts 18 minutes:
– Teams cannot hold on to the structure when the time runs out.
– Those touching or supporting the structure at the end of the exercise will be disqualified.
17. Marshmallow Game Lessons
• Understanding known and unknown variables
• Rapid Prototyping uncovers hidden variables and their
relationships
– Fail Fast, Fail Cheap, Learn Quick, Refine and Repeat
• Diverse skills matter
• Specialized skills + Facilitation skills matters
• Incentives magnify outcomes
– Big Bang vs. Start Small
• Incentives without skills are useless
