S2 : Elements of innovation

Categories of innovation

Forms of innovation - use of application of the innovation.

  • 3 applications

    • product, process, service innovations.

Degree of novelty - associated with the innovation.

Forms of Innovation

  1. PRODUCT INNOVATION

    • making valuable changes to physical products.

    • appear large in the public imagination.

  2. INCREMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS

    • Products must be incrementally improved or adjusted as problems are identified in product, service or new requirements demand emerges.

  3. PRODUCT FAMILIES

    • vital work of product design team to keep on adding products to the product families.

  4. NEXT-GENERATION PRODUCTS

    • main activities of the product design team is to work and produce.

  5. NEW CORE PRODUCTS

    • work on designing radical new products or new core products that expand the portfolio significantly and often involve radically new processes to create them.

  6. SERIVCE INNOVATIONS

    • form of a new method of providing a service. entirely new service.

  7. PROCESS INNOVATIONS

    • intro of a new or improved method for the production that adds value to the organization.

Typology of innovation

Incremental innovations

  • refines and improves and existing design.

  • improvements not changes, the components are not fundamentally changed.

Radical innovation

  • developing a new design by using new components configured and incorporated into the design in a new way.

Modular innovation

  • architecture and configuration associated with he existing system of an established product are used and it employs new components.

Architectural innovation

  • changes in the subsystem.

Stages of innovation

Stage 1: idea generation

  • providing freedom to explore new ideas.

Stage 2: Advocacy and screening

  • weed out ideas that lack potential.

Stage 3: Experimentation

  • tests sustainability of ideas for particular organization.

Stage 4: Commercialization

  • “an invention is considered an innovation only once it has been commercialized.”

Stage 5: Diffusion and Implementation

  • diffusion gains final recognition of a innovation

  • implementation setts up the structures, maintenance and resources.

Innovation process

step 1: innovation starts with a problem.

step 2: transform the problem into a challenge.

step 3: challenge others to give suggestive solutions.

step 4: collaborative idea generation.

step 5: combine and evaluate ideas.

step 6: develop the new ideas.

step 7: implementing the idea.
