“Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D dollars you have. … It’s about the people you have, how you’re led and how much you get it.” -Steve Jobs
● Build it ● Launch it
Build it !Plan to collect ideas and turn them into value propositions
Plan pillars● Impact : Internal customers , contractors, team members to final customer. Focus on processes,
products and innovations that improve the experience in a way to have the biggest impact on the
enterprise.
● Direction : Set Goals that align to the overall enterprise strategy. Don’t set generic goals or
templates and assume they will work for your organisation. What works for some may not work for
others, and there is nothing wrong with that.
● Balance : When Planning ahead remember to balance current or past innovations and
improvements . Be aware of the resources to maintain those changes.
● Goals : Set the goals for your plan, what will your plan accomplish ?
● Determine : Management , stakeholder, personal, resources and budget to make it happen !!
