ABOUT THIS BOOK This book is designed to fill what Humantific perceives to be a void in the field of innovation process knowledge and literature. It has been created and is being shared for educational purposes. Its intention is to present a cross section of innovation process examples along with a new analysis framework that introduces new forms of consideration for more deeply understanding innovation process construction and its various implications. WHY THIS STUDY IS DIFFERENT • Spans an 80+ year period. • Intends to be inclusive. • Presents a view across multiple fields of knowledge. • Is focused on de-mystifying the innovation process landscape from an architectural construction perspective. • Presents 10 views that are key to moving beyond a superficial understanding of innovation process construction such as Think Balance, Method Mode, Starting Points, Values, and Behaviors, etc. • This 10-part analysis framework is based in real world practice experience, not academic theories, to help others look at process models in new ways. • Unpacks and defuzzes graphic depictions of innovation process. • Includes original process drawings rather than redrawn depictions. • Presents 25 Key Findings. • Includes summary of Design Implications. • Is part of an ongoing study of innovation methodology and its implications.
