That in my world is called adaptive change management other understanding the value of non linear approaches play on the linear world of problem solving... these skills are critical to success in any environment that has complex challenges to solve.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15251970398159385262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865768815327716731.post-31385367982459923332010-04-01T13:56:43.364-04:002010-04-01T13:56:43.364-04:00Good point Michael, a good way to understand innov...Good point Michael, a good way to understand innovation is that the problem (or challenge) is actually composed a many smaller problems that must be overcome to solve the initial one. As a solution starts to take form, it quickly begins to uncover other problems. Thus, you mimic the Lean PDCA cycle, but in the innovation cycle. <br /><br />A simple example of this was the first attempt at supersonic flight. The first thought at solving the problem was adding a powerful rocket to an airframe. When the solution was tested by Chuck Yeager in 1946 another unforeseen problem came about - extreme shaking of the airframe as the sound barrier was approached. The solution to this became the delta wing.<br /><br />George Rathbun<br />President and CEO<br /><a href="http://www.incentsolutions.com/sr_consulting.aspx" rel="nofollow">INCENT Solutions</a>Georgehttp://www.leanideamanagement.comnoreply@blogger.com
