We put Innovation on Trial for Armed Robbery and Purgery ! – for stealing time and resources and for lying about innovation potential and progress.
A first in South Africa, this was a collaboration between SA Innovate Magazine, Future by Design, The Research Institute for Innovation and Sustainability (RIIS), Sense2Solve and Cexino, culminating in a 2 day conference held in October 2008 to examine the results and perceptions of innovation in the field.
Innovation is no longer a new business concept in South Africa. Many organisations have taken steps to become more innovative in the way they do business or develop their products and services. Yet, the outcome has not totally met expectations and a real return on investment is difficult to prove.
