I couldn't help but think of Jared Spool's comments regarding (and
case studies on) "embraceable change" as I read through this
thread.

Trite answer for design: What is best for the user?
Seriously though, the OPs quote is very true. Ideas are very common
and easy to get hold of. The problem is implementing them and getting
them to market. It's similar to the famous quote that "genuis is 1%
inspiration and 99% perspiration".

Eric%u2014Your point about innovation being clearly distinct from
invention is a fantastic one. This is something that was bothering me
while I was thinking about innovation, so I'm glad you raised it.
This is why innovation just for innovation's sake isn't a good
idea. It's not really innovation
Hi:
Somethings I think we assume innovation needs to translate into
something big or mind blowing or revolutionary. Perhaps, those who
innovate and improve "micro interactions" to help delight us is
already a good start.
For example - Auto saving in gmail :)
What other "micro interactions" coul
First, this is awesome, David:
"Instead I think we should be asking: What is the best design we can
create that will work (for users as well as business)—that can and
will be implemented?"
Your consideration for business, technology and people is
consistently spot on. Keep rockin', it's really h
I don't think there is any one way to answer the question "What is
innovative?"
I view it more as a continuum where you have on one side things that
are "not innovative". They are traditional, not risky, or they've

things that are new,

Awesome ideas, David and Hugh!
I'll run through and answer your questions, since I generally agree
with everything you've said...

A: It's only successful if the innovation is pulled off the shelf

To innovate or not to innovate is a decision that should hinge on the
innovation adding value to the business/product.
Measuring "adding value" is a little tricky, for a business it seems to be
simply does the innovation move business objectives forward or not.
I've been involved in many projects
I agree. Seems that, as you put it, the degree of innovation needs to be
factored in as a design constraint. It seems to me that a
successful/ideal/best design is the one that best fits the context and
constraints. It may not be the most admired, but I think that's often
because the potential ad
In a recent blog post, Hugh Beyer raised an interesting concept. He
said, "Innovation is easy...the hard part is actually acting on the
innovation." http://incontextdesign.com/blog/innovation-is-easy/
