Innovation as Language Action
By learning seven foundation practices, anyone can produce innovations intentionally.
Innovation as Language Action propose a framework for identifying the linguistic distinctions and specific skills involved in taking new technology inventions into the broader market.
It defines “invention” as the actual creation of a new technology, and “innovation” as the process of technology adoption - for example, the Wright Brothers invented flight at Kitty Hawk, but the innovation in flight was the DC9, 30 years later. PC/M was an invention in operating systems, but MS-DOS was the innovation - it spread broadly and became the standard for future developments in the industry.
Dr. Peter Denning and his co-author, Robert Dunham, detail seven specific elements of an innovation framework:
* Seeing opportunities
* Envisioning new worlds
* Offering new games
* Executing plans and tools
* Producing adoption
* Sustaining infrastructure
* Leading with care, value, power, and focus
