There are so many books and articles on innovation. Some of them describe a strategy that is completely in conflict to others.
For example: during brain storm, is it really better to have to criticism? Some say yes and the new research says no.
For example: a team that has high mutual trust is more innovative? Actually now. Some mistrust and tension seems to make people more innovative. But complete antagonism will almost minimize innovation. So where should we be?
My proposal Tao's pyramid of innovation is to follow the Bloom's taxonomy or Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, put the innovation in a clear structure so we can have difference strategy for difference level of innovation. Just like we have to deploy very difference skills to fulfill the different type of needs in the hierarchy.
The pyramid of innovation
Level 7 - major strategic, out-of-box direction (new enterprise)
Level 6 - major strategy that break or make a company (major product line)
Level 5
....
Level 1 - minor change of procedure in existing practice
