About Innovation Briefs
 Innovation
is the process by which people attempt to develop a novel
idea or technology and bring it into widespread use.
To enable innovation, we need to understand
how it happens. An innovation brief is a narrative that describes
and explains the key events in an innovation process.
Innovation briefs allow the people involved
to reflect on what they did, and learn. If several innovation
briefs are recorded using a common framework then we can look
for similarities and differences and discover general principles.
This helps avoid repeating mistakes
and helps us identify and use what works. Short innovation
histories or "Briefs" use a common framework for
a narrative that summarizes key elements involved in an innovation
process. It is intended to be read by a broad public and enhance
the visibility of work-in-progress. Briefs may be promising
histories that merit further investigation.
