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 InnovationBusiness Innovation as the Commercialization of InventionThe Globalization of InnovationThe 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 ProcessBPM and the Pace of InnovationThe Collaboration Capabilities Needed for the Innovation ProcessOvercoming 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.

Capturing Ideas
By: Charles L. Owen, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Institute of Design, Illinois Institute of Technology
For fun, I recently googled the aphorism, "Good ideas are a dime a dozen". There were over 3,400 hits. This old cliche is on too many people's minds! Most of the occurrences I looked at were fairly recent, frombusiness or marketing articles, and most continued on with a "but ..." line that suggested that what is really rare and valuable is the agency or person who can bring an idea to...
