How Can We Add the Most Value to Innovation?
I began the week thinking about Skype and the reinvention of the WHEEL.?
Realigning the wheel vs. reinventing was my provocation/question…in case you didn’t read the whole IMAGINE—shame on you…LOL!
Every day brings us the newest pronouncement of supposed reinvention. What is in? What is out? Sometimes the coolest, newest, hottest must-have is a relic of the past before it even makes it to broad distribution and use.?
What really amazes me are the pronouncements by the arbiters of the "new" and the analysts who like to curate our thinking…and write about their "finds" as if they are all phenomena they have discovered or uncovered.
So what does it all mean???
Beats me. But...I loved the following and think it sums it up:?
And there you have it….No matter what the eating/dieting fad of the moment is, at the end of the day...you still need food. No matter who claims to have reinvented the wheel…??The wheels on the bus [still]…go round and round…???
It’s OK to recycle if you add new value. It’s powerful to realign and not feel the need to declare reinvention. And, it’s a win to acknowledge building on the works of others and standing on the shoulders of giants.?
But never before seen in history? Give me a break…
?Your thoughts??

1 周The relationship between value creation and reinvention/invention is often misunderstood. To point it down - 1. Create new value - often the first thing we think of but it can also be the most complex approach as you’ll be creating something from the start. 2. Create better value – this is easier than creating new value. Creating better value revolves around improving something you already have. 3. Create more value - similar to the above but rather than only improving what you already have, you’re creating more of it.
