ENT 435 Grand Canyon Week 2 Assignment 1
The Importance of Innovation Architecture
Details:
In Innovation as Usual: How to Help Your People Bring Great Ideas
to Life (2013), Miller and Wedell-Wedellsborg discuss the importance of
establishing systems within organizations that promote not only the creativity
that results in innovation, but also make it possible for employees to bring
innovative ideas to fruition. Miller and Wedell-Wedellsborg argue that a
leader’s primary job “is not to innovate; it is to become an innovation architect,
creating a work environment that helps . . . people engage in the key
innovation behaviors as part of their daily work” (p. 4). Such a work
environment must be reinforced by innovation architecture—the structures within
an organization that support an innovation, from the brainstorming phase to
final realization. The more well developed the architecture and the simpler the
processes involved, the more likely employees are to be innovators.
For this assignment, you will research the innovation architecture
of at least three companies that are well-known for successfully supporting a
culture of innovation. Write a 1,500-word paper that addresses the following:
1- What particular elements of each organization’s culture,
processes, and management systems and styles work well to support innovation?
2- Why do you think these organizations have been able to
capitalize on innovation and intrapreneurship while others have not?
3- Based on what you have learned, what processes and systems
might actually stifle innovation and intrapreneurship?
4- Imagine yourself as an innovation architect. What structures or
processes would you put in place to foster a culture of innovation within your
own organization?
Include in-text citations to at least four reputable secondary
sources (such as trade journals, academic journals, and professional or
industry websites) in your paper.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the
APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
This assignment uses a grading rubric. Instructors will be using
the rubric to grade the assignment; therefore, students should review the
rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the assignment
criteria and expectations for successful completion of the assignment.
ENT 435 Week 2 Assignment 2
Innovation Ideation and Implementation-Initial Meeting
Details:
During this course you will work within a CLC to create an
innovative idea for a new product, service, or business. Each member of the
team will be responsible for contributing an innovative idea to the team for
consideration. The team will then come to a consensus on both the innovation it
will pursue and the best process for implementing the innovation. The project
will be completed in phases throughout the course and end with a team
presentation that recommends exactly how the innovation should be implemented.
To begin preparing, meet with your instructor-assigned team to
outline the approach you will take to your Module 3, 6 and 7 assignments.
During this first meeting you may want to do the following:
1. Introduce yourself to each other.
2. Identify the capabilities you bring to the team.
3. Identify the areas you want to work on for these projects.
4. Identify areas on which you would like feedback from your peers
based on your strengths and weaknesses.
5. Develop a project plan for the Module 3, 6 and 7 assignments.
Specific instructions for these assignments are found in the individual topics.
ENT 435 Grand Canyon Week 3 Assignment CLC
Phase 1-Proposing, Evaluating, and Selecting an Innovation
Detail:
During Phase 1, each individual will submit their own idea for an
innovation along with a model they find useful for evaluating its merits. Each
team member is responsible for completing research on various models. While
there are several models in circulation for evaluating innovations, such as The
Lean Start Up Plan, NOMMAR, SNIFF, and the linear and mental models of
innovation, innovators should not feel constrained by any particular model.
Feel free to borrow elements from multiple models to develop one that would
work best to most effectively evaluate your own innovation.
Teams will then review all of the submissions and choose the most
promising idea to pursue. The idea should be selected by application of one of
the evaluation models submitted by team members. You will then write a report
of 1,500-2,500 words that describes the team’s selection process and identifies
the final choice. The report must contain the following components:
1- A one- or two-paragraph summary of each team member’s idea, a
description of the model used to evaluate the idea, and the results of the
evaluation. Specifically, the evaluation should identify the merits, drawbacks,
and challenges associated with the idea.
2- Identification of the selected idea for the project accompanied
by a description of the model used to evaluate the idea. Include the results of
the evaluation, which will serve as the justification for the team’s selection.
Preliminarily forecast the most significant challenges that could impede the
development of the selected idea.
3- A project plan that summarizes the roles or tasks assigned to
each team member that must be accomplished to complete Phase 2 of the project
due in Module 6.
4- In-text citations from at least five reputable secondary
sources. Each person on the team must contribute an article from the research
that was completed on innovation implementation/evaluation models.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the
APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not
required.
You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Refer to
the directions in the Student Success Center. Only Word documents can be
submitted to Turnitin.

Interview and Reflection
Detail:
For this assignment, you will continue to reflect on what it takes
to create “innovation architecture” to support a culture of innovation within
organizations. As part of the assignment, you will conduct an interview with a
local business owner or leader or member of a management team to learn more
about the techniques organizations utilize (or fail to utilize) to encourage
and support the implementation of innovations.
Select your interview candidate and contact the person to set up
an appointment. Try to schedule your interview well in advance of the
assignment’s due date. You may conduct your interview in person or via phone.
You should present the consent letter attached in the Module materials to the
person you intend to interview.
Prepare a list of at least 5-7 questions for your interview. Your
questions should focus on specific processes within organizations for
encouraging and implementing innovations and challenges organizations face in
when trying to innovate.
