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.
