Team

Cultivating Innovation

Individual

  • Meet together
  • Start the flow of ideas
  • Let everyone contribute
  • Get out of the way
  • Usually best for complex, cross

functional, system level problems

  • Issue a challenge (but know who

can be challenged)

  • Let them ponder & experiment
  • Listen to their suggestions
  • Usually best for solving specific

market needs

Right Approach

Cultivating Innovation

Structured Free Form

  • Patterned after ISO process (PMR,

Specifications, etc)

  • Has it’s place (system development)
  • Leads to evolution rather than

revolution

  • No structure
  • Has it’s place (solve an immediate

problem)

  • Leads to revolution rather than

evolution

Right Approach
