Using a Systematic Innovative Approach – Acting/Support Matrix to Develop a Product

Abstract:

This paper presents an example of using the innovative model developed by us in the context of self-managed team. The model has two matrices: Innovative Support Matrix and Innovative Acting Matrix. The Innovative Support Matrix is built on the selected nouns from the Bloom Taxonomy in the domains: Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis and Evaluation and may be assimilated as a guided tool in the documentation phase of the innovation process. The Innovative Acting Matrix is built in a similar manner as Innovative Support Matrix but by selecting the verbs from the same domains. The verbs from the Innovative Acting Matrix play the role of stimulants for the innovative team members. A template was developed to guide the team in using the innovative model.
