Innovation “People don’t know what they want until you show it to them”.
Steve Jobs
A robot suitcase which follows you is made by the
Israeli startup NUA Robotics. It is full of sensors, computer
vision and robotics
Innovation is not a set of new things
Innovation changes a story… or even history
Patterns of evolution
❖ Imagination (process of creation)
❖ Connection (enabling environment)
❖ Selection (choice of what survives and thrives)
Patterns of evolution
❖ imagination
❖ enabling technologies
❖ selecting mechanisms (market, research…)
selection by market forces
❖ finance❖ sales❖ talents
selection by research
❖ we can select by doing research: that’s about what’s true and false; what’s documented and what’s not…

selection by technology
❖ it works❖ it is too old❖ it is too new
Is it in sync with my time?

So: either you change context and start a new rise…
… or you find a niche in which to thrive
But what is this: finding a niche in which to thrive?

Innovation happens when the creation generated by new vision
is adopted
innovation is…❖ …not a new thing…
❖ … it is a new thing that is adopted thus changes a story, or history
❖ adopted means that people make that thing become part of their lives
❖ There is some common narrative, a shared vision, an understanding of the technology, a meaning and a use value that is understood. And it just works
Innovation is where technology and humanity meet
convergence
❖ Digital humanities are part of the innovation process…
❖ … because a common understanding needs a technical narrative and a meaningful technology
convergence
❖ program❖ project❖ progress❖ prospect❖ prosperity
Innovation is a revelation
