INNOVATION Module 4 (IPP MBA780)

Innovation Processes and Platforms

Module Description

The 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 beneficial 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.

The topics covered include:

Models of Innovation

• Innovation Process Models

• Business Model Innovation

• Standards, Patents, & Open Source
