    Why innovate?

    Innovation is a crucial source of competitive

    advantage:

    Nokia, Intel, Sony, Seiko, Corning & Motorola have all generated sustained

    competitive advantage. These firms have generated 49% of their revenue

    through new products versus 11% for mediocre performers.

    Without innovation core competencies can

    become core rigidities

    What is Innovation?

    A Choice of Definitions: Innovation is the sum of invention plus the commercialisation of that

    invention. (D.R. Ireland)

    A major innovation is one that sparks further innovations andinvestment (e.g. the computer) as opposed to other innovations whichare primarily improvements (N. Rosenberg)

    Innovation is a process by which a company

    Builds insights about its customers

    Identifies and evaluates unique market opportunities and prepares

    a plan to seize them Develops a stream of winning products (JP Deschamps)

    An Invention is a new product; an Innovation is a new customer benefit(P. Doyle)

    Where does innovation come

    from?

    While the sources for innovations are literally all around us, thereare two avenues to harness them:

    Formal Innovation Processes External Innovation, such as innovation outsourcing or a

    formalised external scouting structure / network.

    Institutional Innovation

    Internal R&D

    NPD processes New Venture Division / Internal Venture Capital mindset

    Cultural innovation

    Innovation is at the centre of management efforts (3M,Rubbermaid)

    from?

    Informal Innovation Processes

    Individual ideas and observations (often the source ofentrepreneurship)

    Upstream innovationdefinition

    Jean-Phillipe Deschamps argues that Innovation can be managed as a

    linear process and split into two major parts:

    upstream innovation - the process of developing and cultivating ideas

    for new business creation and evaluating their merit downstream innovation - the process of converting selected

    opportunities from concepts to market-ready products or services.

    Most companies have a formal downstream process, but very few

    manage the upstream process in a formal way, which creates fewer

    ideas and fewer innovations linked to business goals. He details three

    stages to the upstream process: Fertilisation: Envisioning Opportunities (usually a top mgmt. task)

    Seeding: Generating & validating the Idea Flow (innovation teams, etc)

    Incubation: Managing the early feasibility process (budgets, feedback, time

    frame)

  • 7/27/2019 Bilag_15_Innovation._second_stage_Karl_Kalcher_.ppt

    21/71

    Upstream innovationSome ideas for getting upstream results:

    The 3M example of allowing certain employees up to 20% oftheir paid time on independent research efforts

    Insist on working with people who have their ear to theground, who have seen the ocean and who have theability to network with intelligent purpose.

    Professionally managed Employee Idea Schemes (caution:many fail because they are poorly conceived and managed).

    Thinking Communities and Knowledge Forums asIntranets within the organisation

  • 7/27/2019 Bilag_15_Innovation._second_stage_Karl_Kalcher_.ppt

    22/71

    Upstream innovationSome ideas for getting upstream results:

    Mixing cultures, skills, functions, age and gender within ideateams

    Creating an Intrapreneur structure / philosophy

    Creating a New Venture Incubation unit / division.

    Innovation Task Forces for Product, Services, Processes,Technology,

    Setting Strategic Innovation goals as major management

    focus (Rubbermaids goal to have 50% of their products lessthan 5 years old)

  • 7/27/2019 Bilag_15_Innovation._second_stage_Karl_Kalcher_.ppt

    23/71

    Upstream innovationSome challenging views:

    Brian Quinn, Amos Tuck Business School, having studied GE,

    IBM, Polaroid, etc. found that not a single major productinnovation has originated from a companys formal planningprocess.

    Karl Kalcher, MindFolio Ltd, having worked with Clarks, LEGO,Motorola, HP, Polaroid on innovations believes that companiesmust encourage rebels and missionaries, revel in managing

    creative tension and strive to obtain results through a parallelprocess of quick experiments and disciplined innovationmethodology. And they must insist on managing a tight After-

    Action-Review for every try.

  • 7/27/2019 Bilag_15_Innovation._second_stage_Karl_Kalcher_.ppt

    24/71

    Upstream innovationSome challenging views:

    .

    Motorola believes in creating new avenues through learning bydoing

    Most practitioners agree that cross-functional project teamsare the only way

    Intel insist on staying scared, believing that they are, at alltimes, only two years away from bankruptcy.

    Dana requires employees to generate two ideas for process

    innovations each month (and supports them with correspondingtraining too)

    To activate Innovation

    You need to know where you want to go - VISION

    You need to know where the rest of the world is going - FORESIGHT

    You need ambition - STRETCH GOALS

    You need freedom to achieve your goals - EMPOWERMENT

    You need to draw from and work with others -

    COMMUNICATION, NETWORKING

    You need to be rewarded for your efforts there is nothing more rewarding than

    Software-based innovation

    Software provides the critical mechanism through which managerscan lower costs, compress time cycles, decrease risks and increasethe value of innovations.

    Software can be used to: Define how people interact

    Dictate the information they use

    Determine what they communicate about

    Identify where they can be located

    Enhance the skills It can become integral to the organisation

    Innovation software

    What type of innovation software exists:Innovation software exists to support the innovative thought and processes of

    the company. Usually software can only support one part of the process,either the initial ideas creation, the portfolio management or the new

    product development phase.

    Creative and New Ideas: Software exists to assist a small team bouncingideas of one another. Generating new ideas is very often the biggestchallenge for companies so, having software gives the teams support and astructure.

    Portfolio Management: Developing new ideas, then leads to having tocreate a selection process by which only the best ideas get through. Anexample of this type of software is at Oxford Assymetry where software hasbeen developed by Steve Davies to identify new compounds which aremore likely to be made into drugs.

    Innovation software

    Knowledge Management: Managing data and ideas within acompany is another means to improving the quality of innovation ina company. Software gives employees access to other employeesdocumented findings. Companies such as PA consulting, Cap

    Gemini and McKinsey specialise in developing and implementingsuch software.

    Measuring software: Software also exists for companies to pinpointtheir progress on specific projects. Such software is developed bysuch companies as Q Management, Fishbone and Kaiser.

    New Product Development: The stage gate process usuallyrequires various teams working in parallel and a considerableamount of resource allocation. Such software provides informationon who is working on which project and also gives a crosscomparison.

    Innovation software - selection

    There is a wide selection of software available, each has the potential to

    help with a different part of the innovation pathway. Some of the software is

    only suited to a particular size of company. A website giving you a list of

    different types of software is as follows:www.zdnet.com

    How to decide to purchase software:

    Identifying why you need the software

    Listing the costs versus the benefits

    What are the advantages of using software rather than other non-

    software processes

    How long will the implementation take

    Is the software suited to the size of the project

    96% of the ideas generated through WIN were unusable WIN was modified by installing idea focus, this served

    as an early filter. It focussed on real customer needs,

    The innovation mindset

    Effective innovation management starts with you and your mindset.Here are some Lessons Learnt from practitioners who havedeveloped many new businesses and products.

    Innovation is a company wide process and involves all aspects ofthe Value Chain on an on-going basis. Too many managers have avery narrow view of Innovation, i.e. it only concerns New ProductDevelopment or R&D.

    Marketers carry the Duty of Initiative for innovations. The key

    driving force for innovations are customer benefits and, therefore, itis the Marketer who should identify and galvanise the business toseek new solutions.

    The innovation mindset

    Life is too short to wait for Eureka. New thinking, idea generation,innovations do not, for the most, rely on sudden flashes of brilliance.

    A disciplined, creative innovation process will yield surprisingly

    effective results and will usually involve a multitude of people. Aswith most things, its about smart, hard work rather than hope.Specialist Innovation Consultants can be valuable catalysts during aspecific process.

    Constraint is the essence of creativity. In order to gain effective

    results from an innovation process, managers must clarify

    essential constraints, not just budgets. Most innovation teams willfind solutions to the most difficult challenges if the road map is

    clear from the outset. Moving goalposts several times during a

    process will usually kill spirit and outcome.

  • 7/27/2019 Bilag_15_Innovation._second_stage_Karl_Kalcher_.ppt

    56/71

    The innovation mindset

    A generous budget is no substitute for poor or indifferent top

    management. Disunity amongst senior managers about the

    direction or the priority of a given innovation project will sink any

    effort by the innovation team. It is essential, therefore, to ensure that

    consensus exists within the management team prior to project

    commencement.

    Essential Innovation Ingredients: Hard Fun, inspirational

    leadership, internal and external people with different skills and

    outlooks, a clear brief, reasonable funds against reasonable

    deliverables, some training about idea generation and effective

    creative processes and..customer focus.

    Measuring innovation

    A frequent weakness of management is to think through and setrealistic expectations for a project. Good projects can thus bedamned to failure before they even got off the ground and prevent

    the spreading of a positive innovation culture.

    There are four categories of Innovation Measurement:

    measuring the internal skill base / efforts

    e.g. patents per employee; R&D expenditure in relation to

    competitors, etc measuring the results

    e.g. New Product share of total profits; Time to Market, BreakEven Time, etc

    Measuring innovation

    measuring innovation culture

    e.g. Response Times to competitor action, cross-functionalprojects as % of total, etc

    management accounts

    e.g. R&D costs as % of revenue, etc; Innovation costsdedicated to core business, new business and early trials,etc

    Protecting innovation

    Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) come in many forms, e.g. patenting a

    technical invention, protecting a design, trade marking a logo,

    product or service and / or copyrighting of a piece of creative work.

    Outsourcing innovation

    The basic premise of Innovation Outsourcing is the fact that no single

    company can hope to possess all the resources, skills, eyes and

    ears and, especially, time, to grow the business successfully.

    The decision to outsource is preceded by a strategic process in

    which the company examines their Value Chain, their processesand activities in order to determine the scope for Innovation

    Outsourcing. The basic objectives are to:

    lower innovation costs

    speed up development cycles

    gain untapped knowledge

    spread risks

    know more and act faster than competitors

    65/71

    Outsourcing Innovation

    The most popular avenues for outsourcing are in Basic Research and Supplier

    Integration. Cisco Systems is a much quoted example. Johnson Control has led the

    car industry in forward integration, delivering ever more complex sub-systems to car

    assembly lines.

    Some golden rules:

    Give and Take; the partner must benefit, too

    A chance for talented intrapreneurs to head the process

    A cross-functional approach; superior communication facilities, accessible

    software process tools.

    Respect the centres of gravity; be very clear about the what & when, but be

    tolerant about the how.

    Scanning for feasible New Opportunities or the management of certain elements of

    the Innovation / New Product Development is provided by specialist Innovation

    Consultant firms or universities. Some very large companies finance their own

    scanning unit.

    New Product Development

    Detailed descriptions of NPD processes exceeds the scope of thisCanon, save to say that the task remains one of the constant battlesfor improvements for most companies, however here are some

    useful hints forBest Practices

    :

    The Stage / Gate process is still amongst the most popular methods

    There is increasing focus on fast prototyping and acceleratedexposure to customers

    Cross-functional teams are de rigueur, however, accountabilityproblems have dogged some teams. One response is to extend theresponsibilities of the Project Team beyond the launch period.

    New Product Development

    NPD processes are notoriously individual, even undisciplined tothe point of amateurish. Companies are now looking to invest in thevery best practices

    , increasingly supported with software, and

    then insisting on standardising the process throughout businessdivisions.

    Innovation Directors, heading Project Offices are new organisationalpositions to facilitate this development.

    Reflect on the study that it takes 3000 raw ideas to equal 1commercial success (G.Stevens).

    Intrapraneurs

    Defined as entrepreneurs within a larger business, Intrapreneursare people who provide a strong stimulus to the innovative (and/orcommercial) activities of a company by leveraging the might of a big

    business with the skills and nimbleness of a self-employed businesscreator.

    Consider a company-wide programme to create a intrapreneurculture (but with transparent objectives, reward systems, exit

    conditions). It may be more important to search first for latent entrepreneurial

    individuals than for ideas, because it is their tenacity andcommitment which may make the real difference.

    Intrapraneurs

    .

    Train senior managers to recognise, tolerate and enjoy thepotentially unconventional consequences of giving Intrapreneurs alead role.

    It is usually better to form teams of Intrapreneurs, as they are likelyto support and stretch each other.

    Critically, allow good failures, recovery and the re-start of anotherproject.

    Protect Intrapreneurs from the iron disciplines (and monkey rules?)of Big Business, whilst insisting on disciplines foe money anddeliverables.

    Internal PR for Innovation

    Innovation activities are not automatically welcomed by everybody!

    Emotions can range from the Fear of Change, Envy, Disagreement about

    priorities to potential Turf Wars.

    Here are some actions to minimise such potential sentiments: Clarify / classify all stakeholders

    Briefly introduce the project / inform about rough purpose / time

    Ask for advice

    Invite visits / make visits (esp. some prior to milestones)

    Create an internal P.R. Plan

    Subtle

    Low to no cost

    Friendly tone; beware of arrogance, self-promotion, etc.
