    Featuring: Peter Fingar, author of Extreme Competition: Innovation and the Great 21st Century Business Reformation

    Welcome to the dedicated Innovation Section of BPMInstitute.org.

    What strikes fear in the hearts of today’s business leaders? Commoditization and Globalization. Unless a company can innovate, it cannot make margins and will be marginalized as a commodity player. Unless a company can innovate, it will be left behind in the brave new world of total global competition. But, what exactly is innovation, and how does innovation happen? These are the most important business questions of our times. In this Innovation Section we will explore the many facets of innovation and distinguish between Business Innovation and the notion of invention. Business Innovation isn't some occasional event; it's an ongoing process that companies must master if they are to set the pace of innovation in their industries. And that's precisely what will separate the winners from the losers in the 21st century.

    Topics covered will include many of the most cited issues around Business Innovation. They include:

  • Customer-Driven Innovation
  • Business Innovation as the Commercialization of Invention
  • The Globalization of Innovation
  • The Key Types of Business Innovation (Business Model Innovation, Business Process Innovation, and Product or Service Innovation)
  • The Science of Innovation and Innovation as a Business Process
  • BPM and the Pace of Innovation
  • The Collaboration Capabilities Needed for the Innovation Process
  • Overcoming the Innovation Killers in an Organization
  • Through articles by a variety of guest authors and round tables featuring industry thought leaders and practitioners, our focus will be on the alignment of strategies, processes, performers, measures, technologies and management to innovate innovation itself.

This article will provide a definition of enterprise business process...

    Bottom Up / Top Down
    By: Charles L. Owen, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Institute of Design, Illinois Institute of Technology

    For those who think about design and innovation, a relatively exotic argument has been going on for a while. The issue is about how best to structure the overall innovation process. Do you look first for the grand concept and then derive details for a full system solution? Or do you first seek individual insights about proposed system functions, environments and users, and then integrate ideas to...

    Decision Management and Enterprise 2.0 - The Future of Collaboration
    Brian Stucky, Frequent Contributor, Business Decision Management Bulletin

    Organizations wishing to embrace Decision Management often recognize its value but are not optimally positioned to realize the benefits. This often happens for two critical reasons – the inability of technical and business units to exchange information in an efficient manner, and a corporate organizational structure that hinders efficient cooperation and communication. Overcoming these obstacles...
