Through five case studies in radical innovation development, The
Nexus of Corporate Entrepreneurship and Radical Innovation concludes that
proactiveness, risk taking and autonomy are stimulants where as aggressiveness
has a negative effect on development and performance.
An excellent example and
framework for Innovation and disruptive design launches also comes from the work by Roberto Verganti in his seminal work "Design-Driven Innovation" where we can see the necessity for larger and more time consuming efforts to shepard into existence more forward thinking design initiatives. Such an example is the Topiade Moving Pin Building Façade design completed in 2006 and launched in Russia in 2014 at the Sochi Olympics more than 7 years ahead of schedule.

Good Design Can Save 500K How? As Simple As Packaging Design
How far does design
extend into the enterprise? All the way to the format of packaging a
sandwich. How does this effect ROI? Well when your selling more than a
million sandwiches a day, every inch of packaging counts and more
specifically where the data on that package is placed, means seconds for
checkout staff. A design function. Definitely. TESCO in the uk saved
more than 500k British pounds after simplifying design and the placement
of that product label. As described by Sir Terry Leahy, past CEO of
TESCO describes in his book and described here.
Simple
examples of the design work being completed by Dove and L’Oreal are
great examples and even the advanced R&D design work of Sunstar
Butler amongst others show the necessity to push forward on materials
and manufacturing capabilities.
And this isn't a new topic, especially in the world of packaging as described and detailed by Smashing Magazine's Packaging Simplicity Article
where even the placement of logo can effect the way, end users, in the
case of checkout workers, can effect the time it takes to scan customers
items. Thus simplicity isn't just for management, or even packaging
design, but must begin with the 1st steps of the design, review and
release process.
