Tens of Innovation

Learning innovation is critical for me in order to teach innovation. I read about other people’s work, and try to expand my understanding of innovation. Recent trend in offering recipes of innovations sound confounding to me. For example, some of the best selling innovation books and methodologies include the magic ‘Ten.’ Here is a list of the Ten’s of innovation:

Ten rules of strategic innovations

Ten rules of elegant innovations

Ten types of innovations

Ten faces of innovations

Trying to comprehend these methods or strategies in these books I can not figure out which combination of strategic rule, elegant innovations, types and faces would be good for me. I wonder how one would remember 40 things and their possible combinations from only four experts. There are many more innovation experts in the field. One must accept that these methods represent some aspects of innovation, not everything. Still the question remains how I use Ten’s. I hope you know what I am getting at. If I appear confused, help me! Give me your advice. It is your turn!

Well My advise if I may really call it is - I prefer to call it suggestion anyway - dont try to use any of these - just study and let the unconscious analyse it - mull over it -

From my personal experience - the width of exploring all these techniques or Ten's of innovation will create your own unique One of Innovation which you will keep on adapting adopting -

But exploring all the tens of tens is needed! I cant reject a single one of them!

I think that when it comes to the successful exploitation of new ideas, there is not one perfect recepe that suits the need of many. Sometimes change that creates a new dimension of performance
are not easily accepted by the public.

I agree with Navneet and SpaceCadette about expanding and exploring new dimensions and adapting and adopting. Such approach still remains to be somewhat random, and less efficient.

What should be done to accelerate innovation? In my opinion one needs a system of innovation that is simple to learn and practice, and optimizes creativity and discipline.
