The ADOPTS Innovation Process

An externally focused, needs-based, evidence centered, business oriented, process of innovation that is comprehensive, rigorous, structured and efficient. The ADOPTS™ process fills the gap between an organization's strategic objectives and its new product and business development activities.

    

A methodology that expands thinking to open up multiple options and then focuses on those that deserve more time and attention.

Tools that facilitate the four essential capabilities necessary for front-end success - Learning, Creation, Evaluation and Selection.

Four stages or cycles that encompass all activities from the strategic to the specific. Each cycle is knowledge driven. They can overlap, unfold independently and can be entered and exited based on the state of the knowledge available.

As you experience the process you will be:

Surprised at the unmet needs and desires you discover while exploring
Excited about the number of new opportunities that emerge
Amazed at the detailed understanding of people's needs and desires you will develop
Satisfied with the solutions and the insight into why they are compelling
Confident that this is a process that can radically improve your organization's ability to innovate
