Innovation Inception: three ideas that unlock innovation in the minds of leaders
In this post I highlight the three fundamental ideas that leaders need to make their own to unleash the transformative innovation potential of their organisations:
1. Exploration is fundamentally different from exploitation,
2. There are different types of innovation: efficiency, sustaining and transformative,
3. To achieve more transformative innovation, you need to bring more volume into your innovation portfolio.

In this post I highlight 3 more use cases where the 3 types of innovation framework unlocks radically better innovation outcomes in large organisations by helping to:
Provide better innovation guidance
Assess the balance of an innovation portfolio
Check alignment of a portfolio with expectations

People often misunderstand each other when they talk about innovation.
In this post I explain how Corporate Innovation Leaders can use the 3 types of innovation framework to bring clarity to their communication on innovation.
