Design Thinking + Creative Confidence = Continuous Innovation | Innov8rs

IDEO's Design Thinking approach to innovation is a non-linear process that focuses on Inspiration, Ideation, and Implementation. IDEO believes that many of the most celebrated innovations come from intrapreneurs pickaxing for change from inside existing corporations, governments, foundations, and non-profits. To succeed, intrapreneurs need several competencies and conditions, including a shared sense of purpose, a culture of curiosity, explicit permission to experiment with new ideas, an organizational structure that fosters collaboration, an incentive system that empowers individuals to create change, and an operational process for executing ideas as tangible innovations. Intrapreneurial innovation is best achieved through a more optimal allocation of resources across select teams of entrepreneurs who can create maximal value for customers.
