The development of innovation comprises the whole transfer process, starting from the identification of opportunities, research work, and presentation to stakeholders to achieve their acceptance for implementation and the implementation of the innovation.
Innovation starts with identifying an opportunity to change an existing process, product, service and in most cases it starts with identifying a problem to solve. Identified problems and opportunities often need to be analysed to identify root causes for the problems. This relates to methods such as:
- Sources of innovations
- Innovation Cube
- Ishikava diagram
- Quadim method
