Part I A process for innovation

Let's get to the how.

  • How do innovators identify opportunities for innovation?
  • Once they have identified an opportunity for innovation, how do they take advantage of it?
  • How do they think of innovative ideas?
  • Once they have an idea, how do they grow it into something usable?
  • How do they asses and test ideas, and work out which ones are going to be worth implementing?

The first thing innovators do better than the rest of us is that they think.
