Innovation ManagementEC Definition
“Overall management of all activities related to understanding needs, with the objective of successfully identifying new ideas, and managing them, in order to develop new products and services which satisfy these needs.
Innovation management starts at the point of capturing the creative works and finishes when it, a product or service, is deployed.”
Someone must be responsible for managing all innovation-related activities from capturing, assessing, protecting and managing the IP; through dissemination and exploitation (use) of the IP; to market deployment.

Protecting Innovation – How?
Not only must it be difficult for a competitor to reinvent the product,
but also it must be entirely comfortable for a customer to adopt it
What makes a great Innovation?
Not only must the team have a secret sauce to
trip up competitors, but
also a tasty temptation to
attract customers. A product that is
obvious for customers, and yet opaque to competitors, is real innovation.

Find your Innovation Ecosystem
An environment (ecosystem) which can support, stimulate and enable innovation.
Can be geographical clusters (e.g. New Frontiers Entrepreneur Development) or specific sectors (e.g. Knowledge Transfer Networks).
The ecosystem does not only include researchers and industry, but access to all the key players that make innovation happen, such as VCs, business angels, entrepreneurs, matchmakers, support groups, users, policy-makers, etc.
