Facilitated Thinking Technology

Not long ago, the typical organizational innovation process might have been considered “lucky.” It was an individual creative genius shouting Eureka … and a corporate innovation hero jumping over internal hurdles to bring new products and services to market.

While serendipitous acts of creativity and eureka moments can still drive innovation … it’s time to deliberately foster innovation with a systematic approach that deploys the right mindset, skill-sets, and tool-sets.

Innovation leaders realize that there must be a shift from lucky innovation to predictable innovation that is a matter of strategy and habit.
