Evolving Innovation: Insights from Einstein to Today's Tech Landscape "Innovation is a particularly sticky problem because it so often remains undefined." A sentiment echoed by Albert Einstein, who famously noted the importance of meticulously defining a problem before attempting to solve it. This principle, highlighted in Greg Satell's insightful 2013 Harvard Business Review article, "Before You Innovate, Ask the Right Questions," remains profoundly relevant today, offering timeless guidance in the ever-evolving landscape of innovation. Satell categorizes innovation into four distinct quadrants as reflected below based on two pivotal questions: How well is the problem defined, and who is best placed to solve it? 🌐 Basic Research is the quest for new knowledge, where neither the problem nor the solution is well defined. Consider the endeavors of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), whose Large Hadron Collider experiments aim to uncover the fundamental particles of the universe. Such ambitious projects epitomize basic research's drive to push the frontiers of human knowledge, often leading to unforeseen applications and technologies. 🌐 Breakthrough Innovation involves solving well-defined problems that have resisted conventional solutions, often requiring a cross-disciplinary approach. A prime example is the development of CRISPR-Cas9, a groundbreaking gene-editing technology. By synthesizing biology and technology, scientists have created a tool with the potential to cure genetic diseases, revolutionize agriculture, and more, embodying the essence of breakthrough innovation through the convergence of diverse scientific fields. 🌐 Sustaining Innovation focuses on iterative improvements to existing technologies or processes. The evolution of electric vehicles (EVs) demonstrates this category well. Companies like Tesla have not reinvented the wheel but have significantly improved battery technology, energy efficiency, and user interface to make EVs more desirable and accessible, thereby sustaining innovation by enhancing the performance and appeal of existing automotive concepts. 🌐 Disruptive Innovation targets creating new markets or reshaping existing ones by introducing novel products or services that change the game. The rise of fintech companies like Stripe and Square disrupts traditional financial services by offering more accessible, user-friendly payment processing solutions, enabling small businesses and individuals to compete in the digital economy. This nuanced approach ensures that innovation efforts are not just shot in the dark but are directed towards solving real, tangible problems in society and industry, ensuring that our efforts lead to breakthroughs that benefit humanity as a whole.

On Point: Innovation & Startups Julie Garlikov on improving the user experience in diagnostic testing. - Innovation is often rooted in novel technologies, but it only becomes game changing when it is combined with simple solutions that provide a better user experience. - The current user experience for diagnostic testing is terrible. Make an appointment. Take off work. Go to a doctor. Doctor refers you to a lab. Go to the lab. Wait for the result. You could be waiting to find out if you have cancer. - Sherlock Biosciences has incredible technology – synthetic biology, CRISPR, AI. Julie Garlikov knows that, but she also knows consumers don’t really care. They care about the new experience. Get a test. Take a test. Know the result. - Watch this video https://bit.ly/3TcgkQu Watch the full episode https://bit.ly/3t5xVPs MassMEDIC
