Theory Chapter 1 The Problem with Innovation today
Chapter.1 The Problem with Innovation todayThe Innovation Paradigm
Innovation is an art. Innovation cannot be learnt. Innovation has no system, or basic principles. Only gifted people can create. They create and we copy. They are the Gurus and we are the drones. Without people like Newton, Einstein, and Edison, the few that made it would still be living in caves.
By the end of the blog it should be clear that the above innovation paradigm has no validity. Innovation is a science and it is reproducible at will.
Scientific disciplines not only have a theoretical base to explain the cause and effect of the phenomena encountered but also a structural taxonomy to relate elements of the discipline.
We therefore need to move our thinking from art, to science. To follow the simple steps from where we are, to where we want to be. We need to understand how innovation works and what steps we can take to take to reproduce it. We need to start generating practical theories of Innovation with associated taxonomies of structure and a language of use. All such theories will have common elements. They will be an integrated process because Innovation is an integrated process, they will be constructive because they build upon experience, they will be deterministic because every step is logical and reproducible, they will be fast and forward moving and most important of all they will be repeatable.
The underlying basis for all such theories is the continuum of history from past to present and from theory to practice. The Innovation Continuum.
