FastCompany Magazine calls the 7 Laws of Innovation - "..a guide to the ins-and-outs of innovation—how innovation works and how it thrives."

Over the years of being in the innovation space, I've discovered a set of laws by trial and error.  Needless to say, I have the scars from the school of hard knocks to validate that these are the set of laws that are critical for innovation success. If you violate any one of them, the consequences can be disastrous.  These laws apply to all sizes of organizations ranging from well-established multi-nationals, to early stage start-ups to governments.

This poster can become an innovation tool to help your team understand and grasp what it really takes to embrace a culture of innovation and transform the organization.

The original blog post was picked up by FastCompany, BusinessWeek and other leading publications. The result was the translation of the original manifesto into the poster.

Description:  The “Innovation Program Office” (IPO) is an effective tool that applies to any organization looking to integrate innovation as a discriminator… a foundational element for success. See our recent show on the IPO.

The role takes on many forms but the primary focus for the “IPO” is establishing the innovation framework, governance, metrics, idea generation, funnel management, securing the funding, project selection and tracking, and training and supporting the teams as they innovate.

Why is an Innovation Program Office (IPO) so vital. 1) It supports corporate/organization wide strategy setting & priorities.  2) Ensures you have a well-managed & functioning innovation lifecycle engine 3) Keeps enterprise plans living and focused  4) Promotes premium growth  5) Enables rapid alignment to take advantage of market forces
