The Cyclic Innovation Model

Five star innovations

For decades, innovation funnels have been projected as linear. From idea, to prototype, to product, to commercialization. More recently, innovation models are cyclic and with many loops. Find the Cyclic Innovation Model of Professor Berkhout above. This model is based on the reality that innovation can start anywhere. There are trade innovation, service innovation, but there is still also the scientific innovation. Disciplines have to work together to make it truly five star innovations, with high barriers for new entrants.

Cyclic Innovation Model

Newcalf default model is the Cyclic Innovation Model (CIM). We were always able to translate this model in our projects to increase the understanding of organization about their operation. Lately, Newcalf focusses on methods to increase the speeds between the nodes in the model. Because ultimately a model is great, but it’s all about executing the innovation!
