Burgess COMMENTARY |
So how will we Innovate in the Future? In two short posts I have extracted a couple of strands of thought that might provide us some pauses in our thinking of where innovation might be heading for its consequences and implications and what this might mean for each of us. This is the first. Evidence is all around us, that there are changing innovation patterns, more evolutionary than radical, taking place. There are new forms of innovation that are offering novel emerging concepts, ideas and strategies of how innovation is becoming organized or possibly will be. Due to the enormous acceleration of innovation, companies have focused far more on the trend to “over-engineer” their products in order to stay that little bit more competitive. They have often tended to lock into incremental improvements and thereby have been losing track of their main objectives: to be able to reap the benefits of their innovativeness and to meet their customers’ real needs. We are falling short of transforming through innovation. A Foresight Project on Innovation A report, undertaken between 2009 and 2112 and covering 144 pages, has been coordinating views on innovation and its possible future direction. This was funded by the EU FP7 on a foresight project on the future of innovation (INFU). It can be explored under the web page www.innovation-futures.org Our first ‘pause’ is the seven dimensions of change for us to manage:
We need to also look far more at the unintended and negative consequences of the consistent, increasingly relentless demand for innovation. It risks having a growing undesirable aspect that needs increasing awareness and factoring into the push for “anything new”. What do these seven dimensions have as our opportunity for us to consider? image credit: innovation-futures.org Paul Hobcraft runs Agility Innovation, an advisory business that stimulates sound innovation practice, researches topics that relate to innovation for the future, as well as aligning innovation to organizations core capabilities. |
