The Inovo Innovation Wiki is to discover, create, gather and disseminate knowledge about the innovation process. The innovation process consists of those activities, methods and practices, along with their associated tools, that result in new-to-the-world things that people desire and value. The Innovation Process occurs every day, whether we realize it or not. It can be an ad hoc, unstructured, unplanned and random process, or it can be one that is structured, planned, and organized. This Wiki is concerned with the latter type of innovation process.

Wiki Sections

Inovo's ADOPTS™ Innovation Process

The Inovo ADOPTS™ process is a methodology and a set of tools and techniques that increases the ability of an organization or individual to innovate. Innovation is about adoption. Something new can be inventive, creative, unique and interesting, but unless it it adopted and valued, it is not an innovation. The ADOPTS process recognizes this and focuses on understanding the forces of demand creation and adoption.

ADOPTS stands for Active Discovery of Opportunities and Predictive Testing of Solutions. The methodology and tools that comprise ADOPTS identify unmet needs and desires that are the source of opportunities and and create solutions that satisfy those needs and desires - the solutions.. Details about the process are available from Inovo.
