Interactive Video Object Manipulation. How Do You Manage Your Innovation Pipeline | Business Innovation. September 22, 2008 When I work with large organizations, they have sophisticated tools and processes for managing their innovation pipeline. Well, at least some do. But how do YOU manage YOUR innovation pipeline? OK, for simplicity sake, you can just call it your ”to-do” list. I have so many different projects and ideas that I am working on at any given time that it is often hard to keep track of everything.
I find most traditional time management processes and software a bit limiting. Some are just too rigid. I have been asking around to see what other people use. I am admittedly a bit disorganized. And although I am “Goal-Free,” this does not mean I am structure-free. Here’s how I manage MY innovation pipeline: I use mind mapping software. Because I run a business, I tie nearly everything back to the four core processes of any business – Develop Products and Services, Fulfill Demand Generate Demand, and Plan & Manage the Enterprise. The process is far from perfect, but it works for me.
