What is the right balance between organizing and creativity? This is a question that arises quite often when dealing with innovation processes. A similar problem I’ve to solve as a part of my dissertation project. One aspect is how rigorous the framework should implement concepts like the “Stage-Gate Model”. Does it put the creative part of the idea generation process in chains or is it a useful guideline? Is the solution to use it only in some stages or is this integration contradictorily to the basic idea of Cooper’s Model?
Something to say?
