This concept defines a framework for innovation management, indicating paths to efficiency and sustainability of ideas.
In this second part, we present the Mathematical Compass of Innovation®©, a structural concept to guide the innovator in the tsunami of ideas that arise along the process and the innovation management itself. We can extract The Mathematical Compass of Innovation®© from the Mathematical Formulation of Innovation®©. This arrow indicates the path taken since the first innovation known 3.3 million years ago, which is characterized by saving/avoiding efforts. We extract the beginning in 1.00 iur and the end of the innovations in 0.00 iur from the Mathematical Compass®©. That is the route of minimization of efforts (in iur) combined with increased efficiency of results for the users. The Innovation Compass®© also predicts the immediate future of ideas through the Periscope of the Future®© and the Sustainability of Ideas®© since material products are more sustainable the closer to 0.00 iur they are. The Mathematical Compass of Innovation®© exposes a new vision for the current moment (2017), where appears the Ideal Idea®© = 0.00 iur, the idea desired by the users, the point of convergence of millenary innovations, whose confirmation occurs in this period that we call Revolution of the Dematerialization®© or 0.00 iur. Finalizing this second part, the Mathematical Compass of Innovation®© expose/reveals Ariadne's thread, the conductor thread of the sequence of innovations revolutions that were invisible - the economy of the users' efforts in iur - characterizing the succession of revolutions initiated 3.3 million years ago whose revelation is facilitated due to the studies by the "focus of the user" (not in the user) and suggests the next great idea that will cause the next revolution.
