A while ago I sat down with Machiel Wetselaar & David van Dinther to create a list of innovation methodologies for a course we’re developing. Up to now we’ve gathered 71 different methodologies for implementing innovation in your organization. We are still looking for ways to categorize them, but for now we’ve based our categorization on the maturity of the organization.
We’re pretty sure there are many more methodologies out there. Please drop a comment if you would like one or more methodologies included in this overview. The list is almost random.
Enjoy!

Dear diggers,
Great summary so far:
first of all: most consulting firms like atk have a “different” process with a incremental twist, which you often see checking the content. I do not know if that is not relevant for your purpose.
In the PDMA forums you can find a few more, also being more on that level. I think you got the core ones already covered.
I am also trying to come with a Lets framework that covers most of the process in roughly three or four phases. If interested, I can share this with you after some research.
Autocorrection: Lets = meta
This overview is a real asset.
Good to include maturity as well as year of publication! It thus gives an excellent impression of the evolution of the innovation models.
Good work!
Hi
Thanks for this interesting topic. but, I counted the number of models and it was 67. Is there something missing?
