You’ve read The Innovator’s Dilemma. You’ve bought in to The Lean Startup. You’re ready to kickstart your company’s product innovation efforts. There’s just one problem: you’re not sure where to begin: What can design teach us about building a collaborative culture?

"We poured surreal amounts of money into it, yet we all thought it had no
value for the customer, which was the biggest irony. Whenever anyone asked
why we were doing this, the answer was, ‘Because Jeff wants it.’ No one
thought the feature justified the cost to the project. No one. Absolutely no
one."

We don’t maintain a roadmap
document. Our roadmap is simply the
sum of active initiatives. We revisit the
set of prioritized initiatives every few
months.

"The Six Sigma process killed innovation at 3M...they
would say they need a five year business plan for a
new idea. Come on, we don't know yet because we
don't know how it works, we don't know how many
customers will take it up, we haven't taken it out to
the customer yet."
