HERE’S AN IDEA

Many organizations seem to think the key to innovation is continuously generating ideas.  But in reality this is rarely the best approach.  Because it’s not ideas that drive innovation, only GREAT IDEAS do.  And what defines whether an idea is great are the stages that come before and after its conception.

Great ideas focus on opportunities for solving unique and pervasive customer challenges. Great ideas also have the means to become a reality.  So having the methods in place to first identify great and unique opportunities is paramount. And building the structures and processes to deliver meaningful solutions is what allows an idea to find its true path.

In short, idea without foresight and follow-through is like a rocket ship without fuel; it’ll never get off the ground.
