		<title>Innovator dilemmas: modeling real options</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;
“The solving of real options problems has two parts. The first part is “spotting options” and the second part is valuing options”. To spot options, we need to have a deep understanding of the whole decision landscape (…) when a decision maker is considering all possibilities, it is helpful to sketch [them]”

&#8220;Many business have been trained to try to eliminate variability, driving toward highly consistent, repeatable outputs (&#8230;) It also happens to be the wrong way to think about innovation (&#8230;) Although randomness and serendipity clearly underlie the fate of any particular opportunities&#160; (&#8230;) an innovation tournament can introduce professional rigor to the innovation process.&#8221;

&#34;”People are only willing to change and accept new technologies when the pain of their current situation outweighs the perceived pain of trying something new. Most potential users are afraid of new technologies, and they need a great reason to change. If you don’t give them the reason, then forget it.”
The Change Function, Why Some [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=consultaglobal.wordpress.com&blog=650078&post=1825&subd=consultaglobal&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

“Thoughts on Twitter; evolves as real-time search engine (…) How do you foresee that as a potential threat to Google? (…) Poor man&#8217;s email systems. They have aspects of an email system but don&#8217;t have full offering. Do they fundamentally evolve as sort of a note phenomenon, or storage, identity, etc. Or do email systems [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=consultaglobal.wordpress.com&blog=650078&post=1814&subd=consultaglobal&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

 Back in July I attended Harvard’s program on “Leading Product Innovation.”&#160; Upon my return to Chicago I managed to get a couple of new initiatives up and running.&#160; 
The first one focused on gathering my thoughts under a framework best known as “the 8 eyes of innovation,” which has become one of the key [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=consultaglobal.wordpress.com&blog=650078&post=1792&subd=consultaglobal&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

What follows is not a process but the framework that we use to discuss and develop innovative projects at innobarista:
