CREATIVITYCreativity is all about creating ‘Value’

Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things. ’                                                                     Steve Jobs, Wired, February, 1995

Kodak developed a digital camera prototype in the 1970s and launched the first commercial digital single-lens reflex camera in 1991.

Back in 2006, Nokia handled more than 100 billion parts in 10 factories scattered around the world. To put that in more comprehensible terms, it means that every day, from Mexico to Hungary to China, Nokia’s giant production plants take in an average of around 275 million components – and then spit out 900,000 finished mobile phones at the other end of the line’.

That’s a lot of bits and pieces, and a lot of phones! So to be precise, in the same year, Nokia provided 347 million mobile devices, which means an average of 11-12 units per second.

INNOVATION

• You can’t accelerate nothing. You must move faster than you think you can!  The Innovation Mass in our Innovation Force equation comes from finding Product-Market Fit. If you don’t have this, it doesn’t matter how fast you move – you won’t have the impact you seek.

• This is important in established firms too!

• Product-Market fit must be the goal for both startups and established firms. This increases Innovation Mass – once you have that, then you can accelerate.

Innovation Force = Innovation Mass x Acceleration
