Nestaworks to uncover, analyse and test new ways of supportinginnovation from across sectors and around the world. Thesetechniques, tools and processes are collectively knownas innovation methods. Although every innovation is a complex story of feedbackloops and jumps, there are various structured stages thatmost innovations pass through. We represent these in theinnovation spiral. In some cases – for instance prototyping – we helpedto bring established design techniques to new users in thepublic sector and civil society. In others, like People PoweredResults, we help organisations and frontline workers acrossthe UK to adopt the approach. With other more emergentmethods, such as innovation mapping and anticipatoryregulation, we are helping shape entirely new ways ofsupporting innovation in the economy and society. An introduction toinnovation methods Nesta’s approach to innovation methods combinesresearch, practice and learning. We often start off witha research or observation phase, and then use the methodin our own work, building evidence and understanding; andsubsequently either turn this into a standalone team orgenerate materials to make it easier for others to adopt themethod. This continuous cycle of understanding, doing andlearning deepens our knowledge of the method and enablesus to spread its benefits – for example to other innovationagencies, foundations or governments. The next generation of innovators will have a vast newrange of opportunities compared to the last. Much of 20th century innovation, from transistors andintegrated circuits to polycarbonate and neoprene, wasdriven by big laboratories in governments and big firmslike Bell Labs, DuPont, or Bayer. Innovation was seenas the preserve of science and technology. The digital revolution transformed how innovation happens.It became more open and collaborative, spurring a plethoraof new business models and services across industries – todayepitomised by the ‘platform’ innovation at the heartof companies like Facebook and Apple. As we do this, we try to smooth the wilder swings ofinnovation hype. In the well-known technology Hype Cyclemodelled by Gartner, new technologies progress throughvarious stages: from discovery, to inflated expectations andthen disillusionment before reaching enlightenment andproductivity. The same can be said of innovation methods.This year’s hot new approach can rapidly become last year’sfad,
