EFMP: Innovated by Design
Abstract
My participation in the Innovators by Design (IbD) research task force (RTF) was a great experience. Multiple topics resonated with me over the course of the three-quarter elective; however, the topic that most resonated was the effects of organizing the teams according to the Competing Values Framework (CVF).1 Organizing the team according to the CVF affected every phase of the innovation project from topic selection to the final pitch. This paper will firs discuss why I chose to write my synthesis essay on the CVF and its effects. This is followed bya discussion on the composition of the team and how that composition coupled with the timing of project topic selection affected the ultimate direction of the project. Next, a discussion of each innovation phase the team embarked on from ideation to pitch, all through the lens of the effects of the CVF, is presented. Finally, the paper concludes with feedback for the IbD leaders that do not particularly fit in other portions of the paper. Before discussing the innovation process, I will explain why I chose to write this synthesis essay on something other than one of the phases of innovation.
