"While creativity and structured innovation tools (e.g., TRIZ) are essential for survival in our networked, global economy, the winners in future markets will be those who leverage creativity and innovation through collaboration. Under conditions of "Change Compression," elegant solutions can only emerge from designed collaboration. Collaboration is both a process for and product of design thinking (what can be). While simplicity is a virtue we must pursue relentlessly, one paradox is that collaboration allows complexity to be a benefit and that standards can drive rather than impede innovation." - Tim Schweizer, 2006
“At least two streams of innovation flow in parallel in
today’s world: technological innovation and social innovation. Social
innovation is often overlooked and misunderstood by technology-focused
innovators, but social innovation is an essential partner for sustainable
technological innovation. Social innovation today has taken the form of
collaboration.” – Tim Schweizer, 2006
