The Innovation Pyramid is both a tool and a process for strategic innovation.
Update
The Innovation Pyramid is one of the several tools in Strategy Tools for the Next Generation. Learn how you can use the Strategic Innovation Canvas, Innovation Thinking Modes and several emerging visual strategy tools to help make innovation happen. Learn more.
We have been working on the framework and the visuals since january 2010. Through a series of workshops, seminars, action research and teaching and now, more recently, through a series of executive applications, we are happy to be sharing the model openly. In short, it works.
Our work here is greatly inspired by several thinkers, researchers and authors on innovation and strategy. It is only by studying their work we have been able to develop ours. While much is done, even more remains before we are fully satisfied with the process and framework.
You can track the development of the Innovation Pyramid on our blog.
For now, however, we are happy to state that the Innovation Pyramid:
…is a tool to develop a shared language, shared understanding and shared action around innovation.
…is both a strategy tool and a fun process to challenge the organization to dream bigger, drive change and make innovation happen.
… along with ‘’visual thinking facilitation’’, helps companies innovate how they innovate.
