Review: Having spent the last four years designing, patenting and building a new type of combustion engine which will double current efficiencies I am now learning about the enormous difficulties in getting development grants. The prototype is in the last stage of construction. This very simple and efficient engine may see the light of day if We can get a big brother to take over the development of scaled up prototypes ultimately to be used in the electricity production industry using coal and not ptoducing CO2. The thermodynamics has already been worked out. This remarkable asymmetric engine is the first of its kind and will revolutionize road and rail transport and electricity production. I need a big daddy to get this innovation into production. Any advice ?

Review: Great article. These are all good techniques to manage innovation. I worked at Apple, Microsoft, Hewlett- Packard and many other other innovation leaders. There are two additional points that should be added. Rather than prototyping consider your service is always in beta, meaning you're always changing and improving. Reduce risks by using the OutCompete Predictive Innovation method. It drastically reduces risks by quickly identifying all possible innovations for your described goal and sorting them in order to be of value to your business thus giving you a map of customers' emerging demands and actionable ways to profitably satisfy those demands. The OutCompete Predictive Innovation Method is literally an innovation machine.
