Innovation: impact

1
Innovation impact

• London Innovation Innovation involves the
  successful exploitation of new ideas in any
  setting
• Berkley School of Business Innovation is
  broadly defined as people and organizations
  creating value by perpetually adapting and
  developing new processes, ideas, and products

• More than invention or idea generation
• Brings idea to societal unit to have impact
• Requires addressing many facets it takes a team
• Integrates and grounds technology disciplines
  with business skills

Bachelors of Innovation

• Innovation is the sequence of activities by which
  a new element is introduced into a social unit,
  with the intention of benefiting the unit, some
  part of it, or the wider society.
• "Innovation is the successful exploitation of new
  ideas and is a vital ingredient for
  competitiveness, productivity and social gain
  within businesses and organizations
• Creativity is thinking up new things. Innovation
  is doing new things. - Theodore Levitt

What innovation is not!

• Innovation is not research or creativity.
• Creativity is a component of innovation but does
  not in and of itself constitute innovation.
• Innovation is not entrepreneurship
• Innovation is not about money, though many
  innovations require and produce money, so the
  innovation process must include it.

4
Entrepreneurship verses innovation

• An Entrepreneur is someone someone who organizes
  a business venture and assumes the risk for it.
  Entrepreneurship does not require innovation.
• However entrepreneurship may involve a particular
  form of innovation to produce a new business or
  new initiative within an existing business.

What is innovation / What is it not?

• Is not a mysterious or magical.
• It is not easy it requires hard, focused,
  purposeful work.
• It produces results, not merely ideas.
• Is a continuous process.

Innovation a smarter workforce

• Aging U.S. technology workforce
• Declining interest in science and engineering
  from U.S. youth
• Technology competition from the rest of the world
  
• Teaming experience as social network attracts
  women and underserved

• National Academy of Engineering If the United
  States is to maintain its economic leadership,
  it must prepare for this wave of change. ... it
  is agreed that innovation is the key

NAE Engineering 2020

• If the United States is to maintain its economic
  leadership and be able to sustain its share of
  high technology jobs, it must prepare for this
  wave of change. While there is no consensus at
  this stage, it is agreed that innovation is the
  key
• .. there is an undercurrent of awareness that
  current complexities are so daunting that
  tinkering at the edgesreforming one course, one
  program, one department at a time, developing
  isolated instances of success here and there is
  no longer a viable response if we are to build
  the kind of robust programs in research and
  education now needed to strengthen the U.S.
  engineering community by 2020.

Innovation educational need

• Council on Competitiveness
• Academic institutions should develop curricula
  specifically designed to teach innovation skills
  and support major changes in innovation
  learning.

• Regional survey of companies
• Statistically significant preference for students
  with experience and skills in technology,
  entrepreneurship, and globalization

What is the Bachelor of Innovation Family of
Degree Programs?

• "Once you've worked on a truly innovative project
  you realize how important transformation is to
  the success or failure of a project. Your way of
  thinking changes, you priorities change, your
  company changes and your way or working changes
  forever.."
• Ralph Ardill, - London Innovation Conf, 2003

• Multiyear, multidisciplinary innovation team
  experience
• Like the B.S. or B.A. family of degrees majors
  with a common core. The BI cores focus on
  innovation.
• Specific degrees Business Administration,
  Electrical Engineering, Computer Science,
  Computer Security, and (new!) Game Design and
  Development

The BI Family

The BI components
Degree/Major Emphasis (42-50 credits) Differs
for each degree, but almost the same as existing
BS/BA majors. In COB there is a common Business
Major core (shared) and an emphasis area. Game
Design and Development is new
Innovation Core (27 Credits) Shared across all
BI majors
Cross-discipline Core 21 Credits (Choice from 4
cores Globalization, Business, Engineering or
Creative Communication)
General education courses to meet college
requirements.

• US News Ranked 7th NATIONALLY among public

  for percentage of women engineers graduating
• ABET accredited

• In a recent (2003) national survey commissioned
  by GE, only 9 of college students polled
  indicated that they felt the United States is
  doing enough to foster Innovation among young
  people.
• Our survey of 50 local companies showed strong
  need for education in innovation.

17
Some of our Survey Results

• The statement Including the Innovation core is
  not important, a Engineering with Business minor
  would be sufficient, was rejected at the very
  significant 99.9998 level, strongly suggesting
  that the innovation components are critical.

18

• The hypothesis about current students/major I
  would generally choose a UCCS BS/BA graduate over
  a BS/BA from other schools such as CU Boulder
  was rejected at the 98.8 (p0.0112) significance
  level, showing that even in a Colorado-Springs
  biased sample, current UCCS students are not the
  competitive choice.

19

• However when asked if they would agree with I
  would generally choose a UCCS BI graduate over a
  BS/BA from other schools such as CU Boulder ,
  the hypothesis is accepted at the very
  significant 99.95 (p0.0005) level
• When asked to agree with the statement I would
  be unlikely to hire a UCCS BI student the
  hypothesis was rejected at the very significant
  99.998 (p0.00002) level.
• Total expected number (per-year) of hires across
  the proposed BI majors was 60.

Transfer issues

• This is a unique program with a long-term
  project involved. Transfer student will be
  permitted to take 201/202 concurrently (serving
  on two different teams) and to take 203/301
  concurrently (serving on two different teams) to
  allow them to finish with only 2 year at UCCS.
• Because of the strong overlap with existing
  majors in both business and engineering, UCCS
  students may easily transfer out of these majors,
  but may face the same issue as external transfer
  students if they have not been involved in the
  project courses.
