As business change practitioners, we often find that improving existing products, processes and services is not sufficient to meet our business or customer performance goals. Instead, we need to innovate and create something for the first time – designing and doing so quickly and without using lots of resource. We need a design that is right first time, using a “frontloaded” approach with strong Voice of Customer, that excites the customer and is defect free from Day 1 of its operation.
However, according to Alf Rehn,
“…more than 100 books on innovation will be published every month”*
… none of us can read them all, so where do you start!?
