Innovation and the (HE) business – 4 essential activities

This simple diagram illustrates the four essential activities that must be undertaken concurrently and jointly to enable effective innovation. The four activities should be well described and managed. For example, forms and standards of evidence must clear and effective in design and business case development. The design principles and business principles vary between organisations. For example, in a university, quite complex and often ill-specified pedagogical principles must guide the design of services that are used within or have an impact upon teaching and learning. At the same time, a "business context" may disrupt pedagogical principles - redefining what we aim to achieve and what is possible.
