The Eleven Dual Factors of Innovation - Part 2/3
Kevin A Fee
Principal Designer and Innovator specializing in the Sensemaking, Inventing, Introducing and Distributing skills for more innovation faster by design.
People believe that innovating is a complex, complicated, and ambiguous activity.? This belief is supported by the fact that innovating projects yield innovations 40% of the time.? The number of factors, decisions, and kinds of work that are connected by process but disconnected in time, can be overwhelming.
In fact, we have identified 22 factors that require judgment and decisions to be made that affect both the direction and the speed of a project.? Making decisions about each of these factors separately leads to the feeling that innovating is a highly uncertain and chaotic endeavor.
We have organized the 22 factors into correlated pairs called Dualities.? Dualities are related two-factor variables.? The resolution of the Duality can only be achieved by satisfying both factors.? The factors in seven of the Dualities are mutually supportive.? The factors in the other 4 Dualities are paradoxical.
The need to make decisions about the factors does not occur at the same time.? Knowing which factors are related as Dualities, and when each Duality needs be dealt with in the Innovating Process, is a simplification that greatly decreases the complexity, complications, and ambiguity of innovating.
Understanding the Dualities
- Innovating / Entrepreneurship
- Invention / Introduction Paradox
- Threat / Opportunity Paradox
- Purpose / Job-to-be-Done
- Cognitive response / Emotional Reaction
- Trouble / Novelty Paradox
- Technologies / Problems Worth Solving
- New Knowledge / New Solutions
- Product / Service
- Momentum / Friction Paradox
- Acceptance / Adoption
Needing to deal with the 22 factors is something that every organization experiences in innovating projects.? Making decisions about the factors as Dualities removes much of the complexity, complication, and ambiguity attributed to innovating.? As the complexity, complications, and ambiguity decrease, innovation speed and success rate increase.
The AgileInnovating ? practice integrates the 11 Dualities into the 8 vital process capabilities increasing both the speed and the success rate of innovation.
