Understanding Innovation in a Simple Way-(ACXL Model):
Once a VP Technology at Intel remarked, "Technology is not an obstacle, but innovation is". The word "innovation" is an interesting combination of four words semantically: In - New - Way - Shown!
Innovation or "Innewayshown": In+(a) New+Way+Shown
1. "in": adding value, for example, by introducing an existing feature
2. "new": creating value by creating a new feature currently non-existing
3. "way": executing the addition or creation of value followed by retaining that value sustainably or through better quality as in mass production (soon "mass customization")
4. "shown": launching the product by segmenting the market, positioning the product or service to that market's 'niche', anologous market or non-customers as the case maybe, and making a relevant market strategy such as Ogilvy's Fetherstonhaugh's 4 Es- exchange, experience, everywhere and evangelism
In-(a)-New-Way-Shown is a 4-step process that explains a road map for Structured Innovation. This sequential process keeps repeating itself over and over again, giving competitive advantage and market lead to companies vying for better position. This model deals with the strategic and motivational aspects, besides 'tech transfers' measurement, innovation effort and progress by each department, commercialization and ROI on Innovation. Supplemental aspects include identifying patterns of disruption and change.

Once a VP Technology at Intel said, "technology is not an obstacle, but innovation is". With background in management consulting, business development, corporate training and academia, I have been practicing structured innovation to help companies, universities and startups navigate through their competition. They have been rooted into the basics of explaining the concept of Innovation. It is very simple and easy to remember!
Here is my explanation:
The word "innovation" is an interesting combination of words semantically:
In+New+Way+Shown
where:
"in" means: adding value, for example, by introducing an existing feature
"new" means: creating value by creating a new feature
"way" means: executing the addition or creation of value followed by retaining that value sustainably or through better quality as in mass customization
"shown" means: segmentating the market, positioning the product or service to that market's 'niche' or anologous market or non-customers as the case maybe, and making a market strategy based on the 4 Es- exchange, experience, everywhere and evangelism.
