In The Innovator's Guide to Growth we suggested that companies should create one-page "Idea Resumes" that capture the essence of an idea on a single PowerPoint slide. If you don't have an innovation strategy , go and create one.). Note what isn't part of the decision: an idea's netpresentvalue or return on investment.
This blog was written with Jay Terwilliger and Mark Sebell, managing partners at Creative Realities , a Boston-based innovation management collaborative. But did you ever see it as the central metaphor for what truly innovative organizations must do? And using net-present-value estimates for "beginning" ideas is nuts.
The other is a process called Opportunity Engineering (OE) that instills a different way to look at value. Horizon 1 (H1) represents the current core operations of a company that produce the cash flow needed to sustain operations, to meet investor expectations, and to invest in future growth.
The audience for such innovation wants to be receptive: A recent American Hospital Association (AHA) survey found that 75% of senior hospital executives endorsed the importance of digital innovation. Yet, despite their stated enthusiasm, hospitals have been notoriously slow to adopt digital innovations. health care system.
Specifically, our analysis found that the net benefits to ranchers ranged from $18 million to $34 million (12% to 23% of revenues) in netpresentvalue projected over 10 years.

Some focus their best people on finding ways to squeeze out more profitability from existing operations, rather than creating new businesses.
We are often asked whether the best way to structure for innovation is top-down or bottom-up. Bottom-up approaches work well for incremental (keeps you in the game) innovations. Breakthrough (changes the game) innovations, contrary to popular belief, need a top-down approach. They must also be willing to see value in absurdity.
Once they understood the rules and their underlying rationale, ALL's employees generated a series of innovative proposals based on what they had to work with. To prioritize projects, for instance, the ALL team could have forecast future cash flows for every potential investment and ranked all proposals on the basis of their netpresentvalue.
Many people do not typically think of metrics and accounting as roadblocks to innovation, yet you call these out as potential problem areas. Many conventional metrics we use to estimate value are based on faulty assumptions. Netpresentvalue [NPV] is a case in point. Consider leaving a comment!
