[via connectit] - The Sequence and Outcomes of Strategic Innovation Defining Strategic Innovation “If you look at common definitions of strategic innovation from academic and professional publications, you can observe the following three outcomes of strategic innovation: Strategic innovation leads to either: new business models (including a new value chain architecture), or new markets (either by creating new ones or reshaping existing ones), or increased value for both the customer and the companyor a combination of these three. Drawing upon the above said, strategic innovation can be defined as: a framework of interdependent content, process and context dimensions, facilitating the application of creativity and innovation to strategic management in order to enable strategic differentiation and competitive advantage, by challenging conventional logic and redefining the company’s business model, redrawing market boundaries, creating new markets and value improvements for customers and the company itself.”

- The Sequence and Outcomes of Strategic Innovation

Defining Strategic Innovation

“If you look at common definitions of strategic innovation from academic and professional publications, you can observe the following three outcomes of strategic innovation:

Strategic innovation leads to either:

  • new business models (including a new value chain architecture), or
  • new markets (either by creating new ones or reshaping existing ones), or
  • increased value for both the customer and the company
    or a combination of these three.

Drawing upon the above said, strategic innovation can be defined as:

  • a framework of interdependent content, process and context dimensions,
  • facilitating the application of creativity and innovation to strategic management
  • in order to enable strategic differentiation and competitive advantage,
  • by challenging conventional logic and redefining the company’s business model, redrawing market boundaries, creating new markets and value improvements for customers and the company itself.”

STEM of an IDEA “STEM is an acronym you can see and hear all around the world as the intellectual ad campaign for “Science, Technology, Engineering, Math.” Indeed STEM is an important factor in achieving innovations today, but it’s only half of the puzzle — there needs to be a humanizing force to any invention for it to become relevant and important. What’s missing is the raison d’etre of a STEM outcome. That could only come from an IDEA-based approach — “Intuition, Design, Emotion, Art.” In this new century, whole-innovation will emerge naturally from the marriage of STEM together with IDEA.”

Dimensions of design / Against ahistoricity

Thought provoking article that urges UX practitioners to look beyond the usual sources to older design traditions for guidance in problem solving.

Here’s a quote from From Responsive Environments: A Manual for Designers (Bentley, Alcock et al., 1985):

How does design affect choice?
The design of a place affects the choices people can make, at many levels:
- it affects where people can go and where they cannot: the quality we shall call permeability.
- it affects the range of uses available to people: the quality we shall call variety.
- it affects how easily people can understand what opportunities it offers: the quality we shall call legibility.
- it affects the degree to which people can use a given place for different purposes: the quality we shall call robustness.
- it affects whether the detailed appearance of the place makes people aware of the choices available: the quality we shall call visual appropriateness.
- it affects people’s choice of sensory experiences: the quality we shall call richness.
- it affects the extent to which people can put their own stamp on a place: we shall call this personalization.

Architecture Defined

“An interesting little video that looks at what “Architecture” really means. Sometimes we get so deep into information architecture and specifying designs we lose sight of what we’re really doing…”
