Hard to believe that almost four months has sped by since I started my little adventure. It’s been much easier for me to fall into “angel consulting” projects with old friends who have new ideas versus buckling down on the intellectual graft of book writing.
Clearly, it’s time to change the focus and start interviewing. I’m looking for people (primarily within industry, but also happy to talk to academia, government and social organisations) who have stories to tell about successful and not so successful innovation initiatives. They could be new product development, service design, business model, or organisational change initiatives.
I’m particularly interested in situations where grand plans for disruptive innovation fell far short of the mark, and the business repercussions of that disappointment. They could be internal, open, or consultant-led initiatives.
Anybody who is struggling with the integration of ”design thinking” within an organisation is also of interest.
Finally – the ROI of design-led innovation is a perpetual passion of mine. I’d love to talk to anybody who’s created a framework that’s become “finance-approved”.
If you fall into any of these camps, or know anybody who does, please drop me a line on email so we can continue the conversation. Also happy to pick up from comments on this post or on my twitter stream (JensonBennett).
