The document describes 5 innovation styles of the Virtual Ocean Strategy: 1. Efficiency innovation occurs when each iteration accelerates at a higher speed than the previous iteration with fewer resources. 2. Elegant (sustaining) innovation occurs when each iteration accelerates more elegantly than the previous iteration with more features. 3. Effective (disruptive) innovation occurs when each iteration accelerates by creating or disrupting new market spaces and jobs within an industry. 4. Boundary-less purpose innovation occurs when each iteration accelerates by creating new markets and jobs across different industry boundaries. 5. Resource innovation occurs when each iteration accelerates greatly using a mix of physical and virtual resources like AI

The 5 innovation styles of Virtual Ocean Strategy(VOS)
1. When each VOS cycle iteration(S1T1, S1T2, S1T3), accelerates,
at a higher speed, than previous iteration(with less
resources),it is called efficiency innovation.
2. When each VOS cycle iteration, happens to accelerate, more
elegantly than previous iteration(with more features, as shown
by the thick cycles in the picture),it’s called elegant
(sustaining) innovation.

3. When each VOS cycle iteration, happen to accelerates, by
creating/disrupting new market spaces(and so, new jobs as
well) within an industry structure , it’s called
effective(disruptive) innovation.

4. When each VOS cycle iteration, accelerates, by creating new
markets(and so jobs), by spanning across different industry
structure causal/correlation boundaries, it’s called boundary-less
purpose innovation.
5. When each VOS iteration cycle, accelerates astronomically, with
creative fuel mix of, physical & virtual resources
(AI/robotics/telemetry/nano tech etc), it is called resource
innovation, as it makes VOS cycle, to accelerate so fast(T dim),by
bouncing that much higher(S dim),with a value multiplier effect!

Value accelerating innovation, with a value addition
mindset, by eliminating jobs, and so, not so good for
the economy, from qualitative measures standpoint!
Value accelerating innovation, with an additive mindset,
creating new jobs, and so, good for the economy !
Value accelerating innovation, with a value
multiplying mindset, creating new type of jobs, by
democratizing the elite human capital across masses!
