Firstly I would argue that innovation, to be managed well, needs to operate like an ecosystem, the same as a tropical rainforest.
Ecosystems to flourish need to experience critical feeds, in the rain forest this is high average temperatures and significant rainfall.
Well for innovation to thrive needs critical aspects; it needs a real focus, well above average and significant attention to be well maintained and flourish.
We argue for diversity within our innovation teams, in our thinking, in our environment and that is no different from the high levels of biodiversity in tropical rain forests.

Anyone involved in the Energy world knows how complex it has become.
Firstly we need to put any innovation ecosystem into context. What are ecosystems, and why they are really valuable to consider when you are thinking about a more radical approach to any new innovation design?
Understanding any health issue is complicated enough, in how a doctor works through the alternatives as a “pattern recognition” when someone sick seeks help. The diagnostic process is a complex transition process that begins with the patient’s personal illness history to achieve a result that can be categorized so solutions can then be applied.
