This was my suit 12 years

ago...

“Innovation One Size Does Not Fit All” | @forrestgumping | 4

…and the lesson

learned!

“Innovation One Size Does Not Fit All” | @forrestgumping | 5

Innovation is not for

everyone!

“Innovation One Size Does Not Fit All” | @forrestgumping | 6

Choose your

innovation suit

carefully.

“Innovation One Size Does Not Fit All” | @forrestgumping | 7

Even the best can get their identity

wrong

Before they get it right

How can you find your right fit innovation?

Understand the role innovation can play in your business strategy.

Look for your innovation inspiration in what makes you special.

Find your right fit. It only needs to be new to your world.

YOUR RIGHT FIT STRATEGY

“Innovation One Size Does Not Fit All” | @forrestgumping | 12

Define your innovation

growth strategy

Grow volume or value share (ie. “take a larger slice of the pie”)

Grow the size of the category in volume or value (i.e. “take the same size slice of a bigger pie”)

Grow volume / value from a different category (ie. “steal from someone else’s pie”)

“Innovation One Size Does Not Fit All” | @forrestgumping | 13

Make strategic

choices

“Innovation One Size Does Not Fit All” | @forrestgumping | 14

Not making choice is a

choice

“Innovation One Size Does Not Fit All” | @forrestgumping | 15

Define the initial

problem

• What we know– Who? – What?– Where?– When?

• What we think we know– Why?– How?

“Innovation One Size Does Not Fit All” | @forrestgumping | 16

Know your consumer’s

unmet needs

“Innovation One Size Does Not Fit All” | @forrestgumping | 18

Identify the true nature

of the problem

“Innovation One Size Does Not Fit All” | @forrestgumping | 19

Create aninnovation

agenda

How big is the gap we need to

fill?

Will we adopt open

innovation or a closed

innovation approach?

Will this be a one-off or a sustained

initiative with a pipeline?

What will be delivered in the

short-term, mid-term and

long-term?

How will we measure success?

YOUR RIGHT FIT INSPIRATION

Innovation is a “remix”

“Copy, transform and combine. It’s who we are, it’s how we live and of course, it’s how we

create. Our new ideas evolve from the old ones”

-- Kirby Ferguson, “Embrace the Remix”

Innovation…or

inspiration?

“Innovation One Size Does Not Fit All” | @forrestgumping | 24

Being first doesn’t

always pay

“Innovation One Size Does Not Fit All” | @forrestgumping | 25

…but doing it right

does.

“Innovation One Size Does Not Fit All” | @forrestgumping | 26

Look for solutions in

the most unlikely

places

Shell “Eureka”

“Innovation One Size Does Not Fit All” | @forrestgumping | 28

Embrace your

Eureka moment

Can begin with a challenge or

nagging idea in your mind

When ideas collide….either new or old ones

or both.

The usual way of working / resolving it

does not work.

You ask yourself the “What if”

question

Get a spark of a simple solution to a complex

market

Can be something that happens

outside of work that you can apply at

work.

Can be too late…when you see your idea in

the market!
