What is it?

…concerned with the new or the novel.


Is innovation technology based? Many of the more
significant innovations of the 20th century are
organizational rather than technology based.
Different types of Innovation give greater
                     profitability at different points in the life cycle of
                     a product family

Discontinuous
Innovation
   Genuine uncertainty
    › It’s not going to happen – certainly not now
   Cannibalization
    › It will compete with our current products
   Shifts in the customer base
    › Our current customers don’t want it
   Margin erosion
    › It will make less money
 Time horizons & Incentives
 Fear of (individual) cannibalization
 Overload
 Competency Traps

   Dynamically continuous innovation:
    A pronounced modification to an
    existing product
    › Requires a *moderate* amount of learning or
      behavior change
    › Convergence:
      The coming together of two or more
      technologies to create a new system with
      greater benefits than its parts
“ Disruptive innovation theory points to situations
    in which new organizations can use relatively
    simple, convenient, low-cost innovations to
    create growth and triumph over powerful
    incumbents.”

   Sustaining versus Disruptive Innovation
   Markets that don’t exist can’t be analyzed

   The experts, including you, will be wrong

   Don’t invest all your resources on the first effort
    — beta release

   Discovery, not implementation, based planning

   Discovery, not implementation, based planning
 Bring a difference value proposition to the
  market
 Initially under perform established products in
  mainstream market
 But, the products improve at a rapid rate
 Superior in ways that are not valued by the
  established market — more reliable, easier to
  use, or cheaper

      hearing form the user.”
“The Web has an editor, it’s everybody. In a
world where publishing is expensive, the act of
publishing is also a statement of quality — the
filter comes before publication. In a world
where publishing is cheap, putting something
out there says nothing about quality. It’s what
happens after it gets published that matters. If
people don’t point to it, other people won’t read
it.”

   The right product is one that becomes available at
    the right time (i.e., when the market needs it), and
    is better and/or less expensive that its competition.
   To have the right product, therefore, one must:
      Predict a market need
      Envisage a product whose performance and
        capability will meet that need
      Develop the product to the appropriate time
        scale and produce it.
      Sell the product at the right price
   There are, unfortunately, many examples of potentially
     innovative space products being developed at the
     wrong time, at the wrong price point, or due to poor
     market predictions:
      TV-SAT and TDF-SAT: Performance wrong (few high power
       transponders when many medium/low power were needed)
      OLYMPUS: Too soon (large busses only started to become
       needed some years later)
      IRIDIUM and GLOBALSTAR: Wrong market and/or too late
       (development of GSM took away most of the market)
      AIRPHONE: Too expensive




CONCLUSION? Introduce only Productive Innovation
OTHER POSSIBILITIES???
Battery Powered Battery Charger?
Braille TV Guide?
Fireproof Matches?
Solar Powered Flashlight?
Sugar coated Insulin btablet?

› Innovation can be productive or wasteful. The
 secret to success is being able to spot the
 difference in advance and encourage the former.

Editor's Notes

  • #5 Conclusion? Innovation should have a composite definition: a process whereby a new idea is conceived and detailed in the mind, developed into a physical entity through detailed design, analysis, experimentation, and production, and then introduced to give a company a competitive edge.In simplest terms, however, innovation is simple change for the better.
  • #6 Customization for different group of people
  • #9 Product definition:A product is a physical good, service, idea, person or place that is capable of offering tangible and intangible attributes that individuals or organisations regard as so necessary, worthwhile, or satisfying that they are prepared to exchange money, patronage or some other unit of value in order to acquire it.
  • #35 The client was able to prioritize the three top composite markets and applications. The company… Optimized their R&D spendAddressed needed improvements with their materials and technology Formulated an overall market entry strategy for the composites industryCreated an approach for the individual markets and applications. …resulting in years of time and millions of $ savings, allowing the company to confidently focus on executing a well developed plan.
