Working Successfully with Emerging Technologies and Innovations
Discover Pilot ? Now What ?
Feeding Core Services Through Disruptive Innovation
Over-emphasis on efficiency and quick turnaround tends to produce standard, in-the-box ideas
A “can’t-afford-to-fail” constraint can produce unimaginative, short-term, even short-sighted solutions
Out-of-the-box thinking depends on a conducive, out-ofthe-ordinary work environment
Evolutionary thinking is about either new audiences or new services Truly disruptive thinking is about new audiences and new services The health of the core is nurtured by innovative, out-of-the-box thinking The value of the “disruptive 10%” is learning, which can be imported back into the core

Innovation should be about gathering as much learning as possible through the process of launching an innovation.
Those involved in innovation should have nearly complete freedom to create and develop and should have radical autonomy, right from the start of their employment with the organization. They should be solely dedicated to innovating.
Allow individuals to be passionate about their interests.
You are your own brand. Allow each person to build their own paths of exploration and expertise in areas that interest them.
Leadership is a reflection, not a vision. Avoid directing and instead reflect. You’re not an arrow; you’re a mirror.
Don’t predetermine the outcome— instead, focus on the process.
Those active in disruptive innovation, the 10%, should be questioning what the organization is about to discover what it is not.
Is this possible?

Institutional Example: Penn State’s Hot Teams
§ Rapid investigation § Goals:
§ learn more § quickly develop understanding
§ Recommends:
§ should we implement and to what extent
The Team and Tasks
§ 4-5 diverse members + ….. intended user and existing user § Answer 7 things questions
§ § § § § § § What is it? How does it work? Who's doing it? Why is it significant? What are the downsides? Where is it going? What are the implications for higher education?
§ 4 weeks
Timeline
§ Week 1: Team meets and shares what they know about the topic and identifies knowledge gaps (benefits, applications). § Week 2: Team uses the tool or technique, documents their experience, explores what they don’t know, and seeks expert/ practitioner input (downsides, limitations).
Timeline
§ Week 3: Team discusses their findings, answers any remaining questions, and completes a draft of the final document. § Week 4: Team finalizes the document, and sometimes a video of the tool/technique in action, to be displayed on the Hot Teams website (http://tlt.its.psu.edu/hot-team).
