Systematic vs. Systems vs. Systemic Thinking¹

1. Systematic Thinking – thinking methodically

2. Systems Thinking – thinking about how things interact with one another

Systematic Approach to Innovation

For innovation to be reliable, you need to address it systematically, as a discipline, like any business issue in which you define a problem/an opportunity and then solve/pursue it. You should answer the following questions:

1. What do you want to achieve, and how?

2. What capabilities and resources do you need?

3. Who will be the leader? Who will be on the team?

4. How will you motivate, inspire, energize, and reward them?

5. How will you measure progress and success?
