Many innovation programs fail because they do not get the momentum they need early on, they start in the wrong place, or they focus on the wrong problems and assumptions. There are a lot of moving parts in these programs and launching the wrong kind of program can doom an initiative before the first idea enters the program. This book takes you through a step-by-step approach to select, structure, and create the right type of program to nurture new and innovative ideas and ensure that they have the best possible chance to succeed. Established organizations in both public and private sectors struggle to bring new, innovative ideas to life. Countless innovation programs have mixed track records, with most failing to deliver meaningful results. Lackluster performance is due to programs that focus solely on new idea generation. This book includes insights to consider when structuring your program, such as important differences that apply to the delivery of certain types of physical products. It also includes approaches, nuances, and considerations that apply to the public sector. And It covers important new types of entry and exit. By the end of the book you will know how to select and deliver a structure appropriate for each program.What You Will LearnUnderstand how innovative ideas differ, why that’s important, and why different approaches are required for eachKnow what to consider when creating an innovation or incubation program, framework, or approachSelect and structure a program or approach to bring new, valuable ideas to life whether they are new products, new programs, or internal projectsCreate the conditions for repeatable innovation, acceleration, or incubationBe aware of common impediments to innovation in established public and private sector organizationsKnow what to do before creating the programBuild the program step-by-step and measure the program’s effectivenessContinuously improve the program, framework, or approachWho This Book Is ForPeople addressing impediments to incubating new ideas in established private/public sector organizations such as: executives looking to deliver new ideas; people responsible for the creation and operation of incubation, innovation, and accelerator programs; business executives and leadership teams who are stagnating or shrinking; technical leaders struggling to deliver innovative products and programs; consultants helping organizations overcome innovation challenges; entrepreneurs; innovators working for mid- to large-sized organizations who are frustrated with roadblocks; program developers, program managers, Scrum masters, and product ownersweiterlesen
