On this week’s episode of ‘The Innovation Engine’ we take a look at the innovator’s method and how it can be applied in any organization. We talk about how lean start-up principles and design thinking can help accelerate the innovation process, the 4-step process that makes up the innovator’s method, and the merits of using Minimum Awesome Products to test out concepts and validate ideas.
