The Great Innovation Lie
Posted by Adrian Rusu in World News on July 6th, 2009
Like any good managing director, I regularly watch what the competition and others in our field are up to. One thing I have noticed over recent months is a tendency to turn corporate innovation into a highly complex system involving numerous processes, approaches and models.
A New Exercise: Innovations that came too late!
Posted by max in Innovation Exercise on June 4th, 2009
I recently noticed a small TV on the side desk of a cashier. It caught my attention because it was the first TV-phone I ever saw in person. I must’ve seen pictures of a TV phone for the first time perhaps 10 or 15 years ago, so this new phone actually brought me back in time… I asked the lady if I could see it up close, and as I held it in my hand the reception of the antenna got screwed and the image of the TV show got fuzzy. It felt so antiquated… Who watches TV anymore anyway?
So after we have spent years, perhaps decade dreaming of TVs that could be portable, always with us, and connected to our phones, when their time finally came, it was obsolete. Tivo, youtube, and other medias have more or less made it a silly thing to own (sorry to all TV phone owners out there!).
So I ask all Innobunnies: can you remember other instances of innovations that came too late? Lets try to list as many as we can here…. Cheers!
