The 3 Pillars of a Culture of Innovation
PeopleAn organization needs the right
mix of design skills & team members with a mindset for
design-led innovation. In addition, executive support is essential to ensure that design
is treated as a priority at the company.
ProcessProcess refers to the way in which people collaborate,
discover problems & co-create with end users to solve them. It is essential that this iterative &
human-centered process is applied to development & business problems alike.
PlacePhysical space plays a key role in fostering innovation &
creativity. Teams need dedicated spaces where they can collaborate, iterate & co-
innovate with end users & customers on projects.
