Module Description
Crowdsourcing Innovation Management is a strategic activity that isn’t necessarily needed to implement thoroughly for every company. Most large companies have included structured processes that include administrative stages to following the (large number of) projects that are in progress and to be able to follow-up on them and calculate the effect of innovation management in general. However, for smaller companies, that is not general practice: having such a formal process in place doesn’t weigh up to cost efficiencies will generate. But for them, innovation management is just as important, but they instead use a toolkit than a formal process.
The crowdsourcing innovation process describes the systematic conversion of existing and/or new findings into marketable solutions, from idea generation and idea evaluation to implementation and successful market launch. It is also essential to discard ideas with little future potential in good time to make targeted use of R&D resources and focus innovation activities on promising innovations.
Design thinking is a non-linear, iterative process that teams use to understand users, challenge assumptions, redefine problems and create innovative solutions to prototype and test.Involving five phases—Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test—is most useful for tackling ill-defined or unknown problems. Design thinking is a framework for innovation based on viewing problems or needs from the user’s perspective. Because this human-centered approach demands a thorough understanding of what your customers both think and feel, the design thinking process requires you first to empathize with the people for whom you’re trying to design new solutions.
Similar to the agile development framework, design thinking represents a non-linear approach to innovation, driven by trying to empathize with users, testing ideas, analyzing feedback, and continuously rethinking and retooling your plans.
