Inspired by DARPA : A Global Comparison of Radical Innovation Government Agencies
- 2023

Ingår i: Inventing the Almost Impossible. - : Springer Nature. - 9783031362231 ; , s. 23-37

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in the United States is renowned for its success in funding radical innovation. This chapter provides an overview of various government agencies that have adopted the core DARPA model outside the defense space in a wide spectrum of areas, such as for homeland security (HSARPA), intelligence (IARPA), energy (ARPA-E), health (ARPA-H), and climate (ARPA-C) in the United States, as well as several other notable examples in Europe and Asia, such as JEDI and ARIA. The chapter compares these groups to the DARPA model and identifies key differences that can offer lessons to others seeking similar outcomes. The chapter also notes the existence of other agencies that were missed due to time constraints, so that a deeper analysis may continue of government agencies around the world pursuing radical innovation.

We Need a Discipline of Invention
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Inventing the Almost Impossible. - : Springer Nature. - 9783031362231 ; , s. 1-5
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This chapter introduces the book Inventing the Almost Impossible, which combines various case studies, examples, and lessons for creating, teaching, funding, and leading radical innovation. The book’s broader aim is to establish a scholarly foundation for the study of invention, which is a fundamental human capacity that has shaped society since prehistoric times, yet it has not been given the full attention it deserves. We have invited a spectrum of authors from academia, industry, and other areas of work to consider an angle for inventing almost impossible ideas, which are just within the realm of possibility and have the potential to produce radical innovation. Overall, this collection seeks to raise questions that explore the multifaceted aspects of invention more deeply and establish invention as a complementary element of technological creation, research into development, and new product development.

Which Moonshot Metrics Matter?

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Organizations that pursue the almost impossible—be it paradigm-shifting theories, scientific breakthroughs, technological invention, disruptive innovation, or game-changing products and services—are constantly grappling with the question, “What should we measure to gauge our potential opportunities, track our progress, or know we’re investing correctly to deliver?” To understand this question, this chapter looks at rising opportunity for businesses to capture breakthroughs and inventions earlier in their development, the transition of the ARPA model (DARPA, I-ARPA, ARPA-E, and ARPA-H) from seeking future results to more near-term impact, and the internal measures used by Lenovo and Facebook to measure their progress. This chapter builds on the pioneering work done in Stanford University’s Foresight program, a two-decade long effort that culminated in the launch of Stanford’s Moonshots program and the book Building Moonshots: 50+ Ways to turn Radical Ideas into Reality.

Getting Innovation Done
- 2010
-
Ingår i: Management of Technology. - 1102-5581. ; :4, s. 7-9
-
Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Creating innovations that successfully meet societal challenges on a grand scale involves great vision, great ideas and great execution. While coming up with a plethora of ideas is undoubtedly critical to innovation, many individuals, teams and organizations are lacking insight into how to practically move forward beyond the great idea without losing touch with the overall vision. This article describes a workshop-based approach that allows innovation teams to move back and forth between divergent and convergent activities – keeping the solution space open enough to allow identification of innovation opportunities within a broader vision, while still making practical progress towards bringing vision to reality.

How teams use tangible prototypes to move from future speculation to decisions when developing resilient product-service systems

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- How can teams make informed decisions today for systems that will emerge in the distant future? This paper explores the role of tangible systems prototypes in bridging the gap between speculation and interactive scenario development for complex product and service systems. Drawing from multiple fields, our study leverages Foresight Engineering, an approach pioneered at Stanford University that applies the practices of future studies and tangible prototyping to new technology and product development with the intent to make critical, forward-looking decisions. Five years of empirical data—including tangible artifacts, videos, photos, and narratives—were collected from teams employing low-fidelity systems prototyping and foresight engineering. Our findings reveal that this integrated approach enables teams to quickly embody complex future scenarios, simplify inherent complexity into tangible objects, and promote iterative discussions. The outcome is the generation of testable questions and the exploration of uncharted directions within the related opportunity and invention space. As the need intensifies to model, measure, and construct complex systems for a resilient and sustainable future, a Foresight Engineering approach empowers diverse teams to transition from the unknown (or unknowable) to actionable invention and the advancement of both knowledge and practice.
