Speed to market and management of innovation risk are the key metrics of the back end of innovation.  InnovaSpec brings a kit of lean sigma tools adapted to innovation processes to improve cycle time, reduce risk, and improve success rates.  InnovaSpec is also adept at reviewing Intellectual Property and management strategy from a business perspective.

Innovation - Many Definitions:

  • More than invention
  • Must be useful/applied in real world
  • Profit or nonprofit
  • Many degrees of distinctiveness from Incremental to Disruptive
  • But not continuous improvement!

Innovation Process Waste Categories

  • Lots of Lean Sigma work is focused on Innovation Process efficiency.
  • This is very important if you know you are working on the right innovations.
  • Faster, Cheaper, Better could be on stuff that has no value!

Value Innovation Process® - 10 Steps / 12 Weeks

Innovation Process is more than Stage Gate

Stage Gate is a useful process but not sufficient to be lean:

  • Most practitioners misuse it
  • Excessive process focus vs. results
  • Corporate governance to control/coordinate product launches
  • Miss the ‘spiral iterative learning’ in small steps recommended by Cooper
  • Never really killing a project makes for the ‘constipated funnel’
