Between 70% and 90%
of innovation projects fail.

Harvard Business Review

Innovation & entrepreneurship is
not about ideas. It’s about
creating value and building a
business around it.
- Alexander Osterwalder
Innovation is the process to
transform hypotheses into
solutions that add value from
the customer and business
perspectives.
90% of innovation labs
fail.

Innovation Labs Don’t Work
https://tvou.com.au/speak/innovation-labs-dont-work
Teams focus their attention on
making cool products, without
thinking about the business models
that underlie those products.

The Myth of the Innovation Lab, Forbes
https://www.forbes.com/sites/tendayiviki/2018/04/15/the-myth-of-the-innovation-lab
An innovation lab is a space to
inspire change through
exploring and discover new
validated and scalable business
models.
This happens when teams in innovation labs
use lean startup tools without really
understanding how they work. They take the
canvases, sticky notes, whiteboards and bean
bags, and they start thinking that they
are doing innovation.
Innovation theater
When the rest of the organization perceives that
innovation is exclusive to a few privileged, who
believe that they are more "cool" by using new tools
and have a different clothing code;
so...organization reacts with resistance
and with reluctant collaboration.
Activate the corporate antibodies
against innovation
When the organization cannot clearly perceive the
value and impact of the innovation initiative and
how to drive the strategic goals; so…mistrust is
generated and traditional measurement
mechanisms are applied to innovation,
with a tenuous leadership support.
