Abstract

The chapter proposes that only innovative companies can deliver sustainable performance over time. How to ensure a robust pipeline of innovative projects to build a sustainable innovative company is a very relevant question. The authors claim that innovation processes which constantly deliver innovation-powered projects can be prototyped. So far prototyping was developed and explored as a stage in innovation process linking idea with refined solution. We use prototyping as a method of getting innovation processes done. In an attempt to find some insights, the authors examine a particular example of prototyping an innovation process step by step, materialize it in a software that enables to automatize and stabilize the process, and fine-tune it with employees in an inclusive approach in a medium-sized construction business. The case study discusses key factors in determining a sustainable innovation process based on a true understanding of the external environment and contextual business requirements. Although rooted in construction specifics, the presented approach can gain broader application.

Every employee that has an idea and wants to peruse it, through the new five-step process, is named an “ideator.”
