8.1. THE NEW HOUSE OF INNOVATION

The core thesis of this book can be captured in the New House of Innovation (Figure 8.1) that we briefly outlined in the Introduction. This visual illustrates the essential connections between the various architectural elements that create an entrepreneurial and innovative culture in a firm. The pillars are the inexorable trend toward N = 1 and R = G. But connecting the demands of N = 1 and R = G are the business processes and analytics. Similarly, as we have demonstrated, this transformation to an innovative culture cannot take place without a realignment of both the technical and the social architectures of the firm. The connecting link between the social and the technical architectures is the business process, which is supported by focused analytics.
