Methodology
There are abundant of definitions on innovation, yet one that is commonly used describes that innovation is a strive to create purposeful change in a company’s economic and/or social potential. Such definition does not foreground standalone products or services, but rather the processes to generate ideas of new solutions, may they be either a product or a service or any combination thereof. Those solutions should in turn deliver value to both users/customers and the provider. Methods for innovation typically motivate changes and the supports build upon divergent thinking, lateral thinking and/or design thinking. The key is thus to change the way we think about a solution or a situation, and thereby create novel solutions.
