thanks a lot for your comments. You're right, the framework was inspired by strategy frameworks. The original focused on strategic innovation as an outcome but people working with the framework found it could easily be extended.

We currently use it for working with a client for example who's goal is to invent 4 new business units, i.e. our input. So we set up a process which targets at developing and realising business model innovations as an output. And you're right, this is meant to be outside of standard business processes.

Research (e.g. Birkinshaw) on management innovation has also proven that innovation starts with a problem that needs to be solved, which can also be an input.

All the best,
Marc

This strikes me as more of a traditional framework for strategy formulation, not really breakthrough innovation. True innovation doesn't generally follow from vision or purpose, unless the vision is to create something disruptive and the purpose is to achieve the vision – kind of a circular path.

Virtually all breakthrough innovation occurs outside of standard business processes – that's why so few organizations ever achieve it, and even less do so on a continuous basis.
