Demonstrates methods to evaluate innovations using user perspective and numerical criteria, suggesting better alignment between clients and corporations.
In this third part, we present two proofs to test innovations, still as ideas in development in the creativity room, through the benefits of the human values (Litmus Test) and the prices to be paid by the users (Financial Proof). The test continually evaluates the user’s point of view and the social or professional class to which they belong. These tests are necessary/ indispensable because a “numerical alarm” alerts the innovator if some characteristics are not achieved. In such cases, the innovator should revise the essential balance for the project’s continuity. With the three mathematical numerical pre-requisites clarified and quantified (efforts in iur, human values, and prices), we are prepared to understand the Innovation and define it from the point of view of clients and corporations in such a way that they now, naturally, “reconcile/complement each other.” Concluding this third part, we observe that we now have the numerical results of the three mathematical formulations that make up the pre-requisites to continue the innovation project. These mathematical requirements operate linearly - sequentially. The question then arises: how do we harmonize these three elements? The user observes/evaluates the Innovation holistically and how to transform the three pre-requisites linear sequential model into the holistic user’s mode. Put another way: how to change the sequential mathematical model into the user’s holistic way. The Balance of Innovation®© is the answer we see in the next and last item of this presentation.
