Abstract

Innovation isn’t easy. If it were, it wouldn’t be a problem (and you wouldn’t be reading this book). Since it is a problem, it pays to think about it in problem-solving terms. Pays because thinking this way both simplifies the problem and suggests a way to solve it. Simplification begins with structure, solution with strategy.

1
It is also what Michael calls a boundary: it specifies the domain in which the solution process proceeds.
 
2
Some solution paths are too permeable. Imagine the shampoo aisle in your drugstore. There are X brands, each with at least Y versions of basically the same produce. Look at the hot cereal section in your supermarket. How many varieties of instant oatmeal are there? Multiple choice has become imitative, not innovative.
 
3
Those chimp scholars are really mean: the tube has a minute diameter and is so long that it is impossible to simply pour the water into the tube.
 
4
This co-occurrence of path completion/goal designation also appears in Duggan’s strategic intuition model. He puts it this way, “the achievement and the goal arise at the same time” (Duggan, 2007, p. 23).
 
5
This is akin to Merce Cunningham’s idea that any movement can be choreographed as dance (Stokes, 2016).
 
6
The revenues for iTunes one minute of silence are donated to help the people of Haiti.
 
7
A domain is defined as an established area of expertise. It is the boundary condition against and within which the innovator works.
 
8
Hastings is the founder of Netflix.
 
9
See Digression II: Thinking Inside the (tool) Box.
 
10
Isaacson offers multiple examples of effective/critical collaboration in his book The Innovators… (2014).
 
11
As usual, I am thinking of painters (Monet, Matisse, Chuck Close for starters) who restructured their own innovative solution paths more than once (Stokes, 2014; Stokes & Fisher, 2005).
