Innova8™ combines design thinking, service design and user experience within an 8 hour process, that takes business issues and delivers customer validated solutions and prototypes.
Innova8™ is a process that fits into Agile and Lean, facilitating DevOps Organisational Design and brings the business closer to their customers through a lens of digital technology and customer validated interactive behaviours.
Design Thinking should never be used to define software, it’s the wrong method. It will create software that only executives want to use, not customers
Design Thinking is a great method to distil the strategic needs of an organisation defining ‘How do we make money’ and ‘What are our services’. Service Design defines ‘How a service works’ and the interrelated model to setup, deliver and manage services, defining customer touchpoints, potential communication routes, digital technologies and key interaction models for a defined service in a blueprint. UX engages directly with customers to deliver the detailed product blueprint for communication routes, digital technologies and their individual key interaction models.
Agile World owns the worldwide rights to the innovation process Innova8™ developed by Karl Smith. The process outline (without critical details) was first published online in 2001. Innova8™ is a unique innovation technique that mashes counterintelligence techniques with human-centered design methods, clients, customers and creative people.

It is worth noting that design thinking used to be called UX strategy, service design was part of UX too, the fact that these have been reinvented as new things is concerning for clients costs as in 2010 when you request UX you could get all three types of skills in one UX person. In the case of senior UX people clients still can. Innova8™ does not rely on these more experience people, but can be done through a group of people with various skills and backgrounds.
