TWENTY PATTERNS OF INNOVATION WORKSHOP
Our discovery of the twenty patterns of innovation started with the mental hobby of looking at innovative products and asking “I wonder how they did that?” And in the course of pursuing this hobby we came to the conclusion that although we couldn’t read the minds of the innovators we could “reverse engineer” the innovation to determine a way it might have come about. The more we did this the more we got a sense of déjà vu — we started to see patterns. The intent of this workshop is to stimulate your thinking about your products and services and to explore your future through the lens of patterns that have worked in the past and are working today.
