7 steps to more innovation

1. Innovating behind closed doors is over.

2. There are many smart people who want to support you.

3. Innovation begins with a challenge, not an idea.

4. Tunnel vision is not conducive for innovation.

5. The best idea is often created from several good ideas.

6. The sooner the customer is involved, the less the risk to flop.

7. Ideas are valuable only when they are implemented.

Innovation is not a problem of creativitybut a problem of allocation.
