The Innovation Pyramid
A
Strategic Methodology for Impactful Problem Solving
|
 |
The Innovation
Pyramid
is
a learnable,
repeatable,
non-linear, knowledge-based innovation
methodology.
While
traditional
books
on
innovation focus
on
either assembling an innovation
team with
the right
combination
of
innate abilities
or developing
a
creativity
skillset, the
Innovation
Pyramid
instead
trains
readers
to produce
serial
innovations successfully.
The
original
method
segments
innovation into four
distinct
yet interrelated stages:
(1)
identification of
the
root
problem,
(2) formulation of
a
solution, (3)
development
of
an execution
plan
and (4) implementation.
At all
stages,
it considers
the
perspectives
of
both
the
innovator and the
adopter,
in order to increase
the
likelihood that
innovations
will
achieve significant
impact.
Section
I
of the
book
describes the
over-arching
method
of innovating.
Section
II
details
the
creativity-based
process
for
implementing
the Innovation Pyramid
methodology.
Finally,
the
book’s
appendices include

About the Author:
This book reflects the author’s focus on
process – how to successfully and
repeatedly accomplish a task.
His previous book,
The Entrepreneurial Arch, was the result of the author’s ten-year quest
to study the methodologies of successful serial entrepreneurs, codify
them, and set them in a teachable form. Similarly, The Innovation
Pyramid is a methodology aimed to
help
turn any individual or organization into
a
serial innovator.
