Innovate on Purpose S'organiser pour innover Pour rester compétitives, les entreprises doivent en permanence renouveler leur offre. Une étude récente de Bain & Company a montré que sur deux cent cinquante- huit entreprises multinationales trois sur quatre s'inquiètent du raccourcissement rapide des cycles de vie des produits et trois sur cinq s'alarment de l'émergence de nouveaux concurrents à l'échelle mondiale obligeant à accélérer le renouvellement de leur offre. La parade, un flux récurrent d'innovations, ne se met pas en place facilement. Les théoriciens opposent classiquement deux modèles extrêmes : rupture ou amélioration continue. Le premier, rare et risqué, bouleverse un marché en changeant la donne à la fois pour les clients et pour l'entreprise. Entre le grand écart et les petits pas, d'autres voies d'innovation rentable et durable existent-elles ? Trouver ses marques dans les différentes voies d'innovation Un bond en avant de l'offre, pour les mêmes clients et besoins Quels modèles d'organisation pour l'innovation ?

But innovative thinking isn't just based on random acts of brilliance -- it can be forged into a systematic process that can be learned and built into all organizational operations. BusinessWeek recently published a special report on an emerging paradigm called "design thinking," in which innovation is systematically ingrained into processes, much as quality management or Six Sigma. It appears a number of leading business schools are incorporating design thinking into their curriculum. But how practical is it for business? According to BusinessWeek, design thinking, while still couched in academia, is seeing success in real-world business environments as well. BusinessWeek defines design thinking as such: What better example of turning on the light bulb of innovation than at a lighting manufacturer?
