A1 In other words, it's not so much technology-pushed invention. It's need-based innovation. #innochat
A1 From my @hypeinnovation perch, we focus a lot on innovation that starts with a need. Campaign questions reflect gaps or opps. #innochat

A5 Culture for innovating effectively: 1. Focus (Coherence) 2. Mission (Context) 3. Trust & belief in others (Capacity) #innochat
A4 When monitoring changes, don't sweat the Enthusiasts in Diffusion curve. Worry when Early Adopters start taking up new thing. #innochat
A4 In Complex world, stick with Context (#jtbd), Coherence (distinct path). But closely monitor shifts - esp. disruptive - in mkt. #innochat
RT @SarahCaldicott: @JohnWLewis A3 Yes...large org'ns have mutiple micro-cultures. Tough to align these when shifting course. #innochat
RT @SarahCaldicott: A3 Coherence is advanced when catalysts are present - people w expertise who r collegial, inspired, positive. #innochat
A3 Context is focused on #jtbd, Coherence is setting path to deliver best solution. Develop a 'distinct' innovation path. #innochat
MT @JohnWLewis @bhc3 Agree on customers. Also about "winning in your own way" #innochat > Start w/ #jtbd, then offer your distinct solution
A2 'Context for collaboration' => Walk in customers' shoes. It's #jtbd focused. E.g. NetFlix better at #jtbd than Blockbuster. #innochat
RT @CreativeSage: We're talking about strategic collaborative #innovation here at #innochat > #socbiz types welcome too.
