Innovation “People don’t know what they want until you show it to them”.

Steve Jobs

A robot suitcase which follows you is made by the

Israeli startup NUA Robotics. It is full of sensors, computer

vision and robotics

Innovation is not a set of new things

Innovation changes a story… or even history

Patterns of evolution

❖ Imagination (process of creation)

❖ Connection (enabling environment)

❖ Selection (choice of what survives and thrives)

Patterns of evolution

❖ imagination

❖ enabling technologies

❖ selecting mechanisms (market, research…)

selection by market forces

❖ finance❖ sales❖ talents

selection by research

❖ we can select by doing research: that’s about what’s true and false; what’s documented and what’s not…

selection by technology

❖ it works❖ it is too old❖ it is too new

Is it in sync with my time?

So: either you change context and start a new rise…

… or you find a niche in which to thrive

But what is this: finding a niche in which to thrive?

Innovation is not a set of new things

Innovation changes a story… or even history

Five Dangerous Lessons to Learn From Steve Jobs

1. Customers don’t know what they want2. Maintain obsessive secrecy3. Project a reality-distortion field4. Micromanage every detail5. Beat people up

Innovation happens when the creation generated by new vision

is adopted

innovation is…❖ …not a new thing…

❖ … it is a new thing that is adopted thus changes a story, or history

❖ adopted means that people make that thing become part of their lives

❖ There is some common narrative, a shared vision, an understanding of the technology, a meaning and a use value that is understood. And it just works

Innovation is where technology and humanity meet

convergence

❖ Digital humanities are part of the innovation process…

❖ … because a common understanding needs a technical narrative and a meaningful technology

convergence

❖ program❖ project❖ progress❖ prospect❖ prosperity

Innovation is a revelation
