Innovation and creativity are not magic. Creativity does not require hiring “super-star” eccentric engineers. Innovation does not require funding all possible ideas. Effective innovation is more like a disciplined assembly line of 6 different phases:
1. Project Charter
-
- Who is the customer?
- What does the customer need?
- Do they need it now?
- Why are we doing this project?
2. Design Input
-
- What do we need to succeed?
3. Design Verification
-
- Can we do it?
- Will we succeed?
4. Design
-
- Do it!
5. Design Validation
-
- Did we do it?
6. Design Clean-Up
-
- Did we miss anything?
Innovative products can be introduced continuously to the market if disciplined processes ensure quality output at each step. I can help your company build this assembly line.
