Laws of Innovation

In the fall of 2011, I posted a blog entry titled The 7 Laws of Innovation.   The objective was to identify the critical areas for innovation. The blog hit a spot and has turned out to be one of the most popular posts over the +12 years I’ve been writing the blog including being picked-up by such publications as FastCompany.

Since that time, posters have been created on the Laws of Innovation (see image above) which will be on sale soon (portion of the proceeds will go to finding HackingAutism.org).

This podcast provides additional background on the Laws along with a suggested approach to identify where your organization can improve.

As a reminder, the laws are:

  1. The Law of Leadership
  2. The law of Culture
  3. The Law of Resources
  4. The Law of Patience
  5. The Law of Process
  6. The Law of BHAG
  7. The Law of Execution
