The need for change is the driving force of innovation.
Successful Innovators focus on the change they intend to cause before they consider the novelty of a new solution.
The novelty of a new solution may grab everyone’s attention, but it’s the change in the user experience that leads to adoption of a new solution, which then becomes an innovation.
Successful Innovators communicate with great clarity the change they intend to cause before a new solution is developed.
- What change are we seeking to make?
- Why this change and not some other one?
- Why is this change important?
- Why this change now?
- What will change, by how much, and what will stay the same?
- How are we going to approach making the change?
- How fast are we planning to make the change?
- What outcomes are necessary for the change to be accepted and adopted?

Nothing stays the same
Satisfaction wanes with time
Change invigorates
