basic terms• invention - a new algorithm or program
(or software development technique)
• creativity – a state of mind which leads to innovative thinking
• innovation - creative act and invention carried into wider use, leading to substantial kinds of change; thus the successful exploitation of new ideas
![Page 10: Software Innovation course](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555177a7b4c9057f478b4e15/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
(software) innovation overview
• (software) innovation = invention + exploitation + diffusion
• invention: the creative act or process and its result (e.g. a software program)
• exploitation: commercial development and adaptation to practical situations
• diffusion: adoption by a wider audience
time lag a continuous process
![Page 11: Software Innovation course](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555177a7b4c9057f478b4e15/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
(software) innovation: consequences
• installed base = starting point
• result of software innovation is experienced as change in
• the way people work
• the way business is carried out
• people’s choice of entertainment
• communication habits and interaction
• governance of communities
• types of (software) innovation
• radical (disruptive, discontinuous)

level 2 - minor improvements to an existing system using methods known within the industry.
level 3 - fundamental improvement to an existing system using methods known outside the industry.
level 4 - a new generation of a system that entails a new principle for performing the system's primary functions - solutions are found more often in science than technology.
level 5 - a rare scientific discovery or pioneering invention of an essentially new system

blue ocean strategies
• four actions framework
new value curve
Reduce: which features should be reduced well below
competitors’ standards?
Raise: which features should be raised well abovethe competitors’
standard?
Eliminate: which of the features that competitors take
for granted should be eliminated?
Create: which features should be
created that competitors have
never offered?

• the software is novel – it does something that other software cannot for its user community, adding or combing features in a new way
• the software has a particular utility (or value proposition) for the community, the form of which can be understood
• when the software is in use in the user community their behaviour will be different in certain ways (social change) and it is understood how
• the user community can be understood as a market in an economic sense, and the software has an economic value, price and cost which is understood
• the software is technically innovative, perhaps displaying digitalization or convergence, in the context of a particular technology trajectory
• the necessary infrastructure for the user community to use the product is in place, or will be when the product is released, and is understood.

iterative models - also for software development
![Page 61: Software Innovation course](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555177a7b4c9057f478b4e15/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
iterative or agile software innovation process model
• process–oriented (reflecting agile system development methods)
• does not necessarily start with an ’idea’ - a fully-formed software concept at the beginning of development
• innovation takes place through highly focused and creative bursts of development activity – e.g. storming
• focus on intense communication, room for experimentation
• innovation takes pace through the life of the project, and is not confined to an idea generation phase
• the creativity and energy of the process offers the conditions for innovative programming and development.
![Page 62: Software Innovation course](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555177a7b4c9057f478b4e15/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
agility and innovation
• some aspects of agile methods resemble innovation techniques elsewhere in industry (the iterative model)
• the introduction of agile methods to a software firm can be a process innovation
• some theoretical reasons to believe that they should be helpful for innovation (e.g. flexibility, freedom from bureaucracy, interaction with customers…………………..)
but• agile methods developed in response to
perceived need for more effective, programmer-friendly development methods - not innovation
• no studies or evidence to support the idea• agility probably necessary but not sufficient
![Page 63: Software Innovation course](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555177a7b4c9057f478b4e15/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
market-led and technology-led software innovation
market
• user communities have sets of needs which develop over time
• those needs can be analyzed and, to some extent predicted
• innovative software development process is targeted at utility -responding to perceptions of future user needs (=the market)
technology
• software technologies develop in particular directions at various speeds
• some software firms are at the leading edges of those developments
• leading edge software technologies enable new products which will create their own demand in the market
• innovative software development process is targeted at novelty -products which have not previously been possible
![Page 64: Software Innovation course](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555177a7b4c9057f478b4e15/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
process, instantiation, improvisation, bricolage
• improvisation• deliberate, not a series of accidents• (locally) extemporaneous – without prior plan or method• occurs during action• implies the pre-existence of a set of resources (plans, tools,
knowledge, social structure) as the basis for variation• bricolage
• ’to use whatever resources and repertoire one has to perform whatever task one faces’
• Improvisation and bricolage are not ‘muddling through’
the generic process
instantiation
improvisation, bricolage

software process innovation
software development process (routines, norms, standards, behaviours, resources, tools,
techniques, procedures, written and unwritten rules)
novel software development process
innovation
local global
![Page 66: Software Innovation course](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555177a7b4c9057f478b4e15/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
the global picture• traditional norms = waterfall, prototyping models + variants
• many hundreds of development models representing incremental innovations on these norms
• some development styles in reaction to the norm (agile, open-source, context-oriented, business-focused)
• = a complex picture of both incremental and radical innovation in software methods, techniques tools and processes
• distinguish from Software Process Improvement
![Page 67: Software Innovation course](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555177a7b4c9057f478b4e15/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
the local picture
• many software firms with method departments, process improvement initiatives
• the innovative software developer takes control of process
• its then natural to want to improve the way you work
• the developer drives the process, the process does not drive the developer
![Page 68: Software Innovation course](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555177a7b4c9057f478b4e15/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
six innovation process strategies
• creative requirements analysis• designed process framework• low tech prototyping• user-driven innovation• community development• research prototype
![Page 69: Software Innovation course](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555177a7b4c9057f478b4e15/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
innovation process strategy 1:creative requirements analysis
• integrate light bulb thinking into a conventional development cycle
• replace requirements engineering techniques with more imaginative interaction and creativity techniques
• work with users who are primarily responsible for new ideas
• (for example) RESCUE, soft systems methodology
• rationale: help users to innovate
RESCUE • conventional requirements analysis
techniques (activity modeling, system goal modeling, use cases, requirements management)
• creativity techniques (creativity modes – exploratory, combinatorial, transformational)
• analogical reasoning• facilitated workshops
![Page 70: Software Innovation course](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555177a7b4c9057f478b4e15/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
innovation process strategy 2:designed process framework
• in the agile tradition - process framework rather than development method
• tools, techniques, practices, roles
• integrated creativity techniques• instantiated at use• developers take responsibility
for idea generation
• rationale: help developers to innovate
ESSENCE• views: product, people, project, process• roles: challenger, responder, anchor
child• modes: idea generation, planning,
growth• in our case: used with creativity
techniques
![Page 71: Software Innovation course](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555177a7b4c9057f478b4e15/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
innovation process strategy 3:low tech prototyping
low tech
high tech
• paper prototypes: wireframe, storyboard, card, wizard-of oz,
• low-fi mockups: foam and cardboard models, drawing tool, video, powerpoint, html
• mashup, patchwork, open source components
• code prototypes
• rationale: low cost experimentation, rapid learning
![Page 72: Software Innovation course](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555177a7b4c9057f478b4e15/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)

innovation process strategy 4:user-driven innovation
• users need to innovate• need is emerging and is therefore not
(yet) recognized by software firms• user need is specific• market niche is not yet attractive for
software firms• difficult and costly to transfer
information from users to manufacturers (sticky information)
• lead users (identified users who are at the leading edge of their profession and have software or computer (super-user) competences
• user communities• toolkits
• rationale: access to use domain expertise
![Page 75: Software Innovation course](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555177a7b4c9057f478b4e15/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)

innovation process strategy 5:community development – the open
source model
example: Apache
founder: Robert McCool
• private collective model
• rapid iterative development
• developer=user expertise
• virtual collaboration• peering, sharing, openness, acting globally
• rationale: many expert hands
![Page 79: Software Innovation course](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555177a7b4c9057f478b4e15/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
innovation process strategy 6:research prototype
• external funding• groupings of organizations• cross-functional expertise
integration• researchers understand
scientific boundaries• developers understand
commercial applications
• rationale: collaboration with researchers at knowledge boundaries
• speciale project on a larger scale
example: KIWI (Knowledge in a Wiki)• funded by European Union• universities, Logica, Sun
Microsystems, Semantic Web Company
• convergence of wiki + tagging + database + social sharing technologies

eight perspectives on personal creativity in software development
![Page 85: Software Innovation course](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555177a7b4c9057f478b4e15/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
1. creativity as the developer’s mental process (Wallas 1926)
preparation (preparatory work on a problem that focuses the individual's mind on the problem and explores the problem's dimensions),
incubation (where the problem is internalized into the unconscious mind and nothing appears externally to be happening),
intimation (the creative person gets a 'feeling' that a solution is on its way),
illumination or insight (where the creative idea bursts forth from its preconscious processing into conscious awareness); and
verification (where the idea is consciously verified, elaborated, and then applied).
discovery point
![Page 86: Software Innovation course](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555177a7b4c9057f478b4e15/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
2. creativity as a set of personal development competences
• concerned with both solving problems and recognising opportunities
• the creative software professional can:
• cope with poorly-defined problems
• exhibits:
• novel and unconventional thinking
• self-motivation
• persistence
• heuristic, rather than algorithmic thinking
![Page 87: Software Innovation course](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555177a7b4c9057f478b4e15/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
2. creativity as a set of personal development competences (continued)
• creative problem solving:
• is experience- and expertise-based:
• developer knows the programming environment and application area extremely well, and has worked on comparable types of problems before
• requires
• good overview - the ability to keep many aspects of a problem in play simultaneously
• well-developed mental modelling capacities - the ability to understand the relationship between many complex facets of a development task, and to express them in appropriate modelling forms
• can be learned
![Page 88: Software Innovation course](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555177a7b4c9057f478b4e15/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
3. creativity as a style of thinking(Miller: Innovation Styles Profile)
• visioning: to envision the ideal future (e.g. a user-group with an improved work-process supported by innovative software)
• modifying: to refine and optimize what has come before (e.g. take an agile development process and focus it on innovation)
• exploring: to discover new and novel possibilities (e.g applying table top computing to the development process)
• experimenting: to combine and test many unique combinations: (e.g. use a paper prototype to explore interaction paths for a large database interface)
![Page 89: Software Innovation course](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555177a7b4c9057f478b4e15/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
4. creativity as meta (divergent)-thinking: recognising unconscious pre-dispositions
• mindset: • ‘a set of assumptions, methods or
notations held by one or more people or groups of people which is so established that it creates a powerful incentive within these people or groups to continue to adopt or accept prior behaviours, choices, or tools’ (Wikipedia)
• recognising and challenging your own mindset
• thinking ‘out-of the-box,’ lateral thinking, divergent thinking• beyond conventional linear logical
thinking and generally held assumptions
• challenging the mindset of others, provoking uncharacteristic reactions
![Page 90: Software Innovation course](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555177a7b4c9057f478b4e15/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
5. creativity as whole-brain thinking: beyond rationality
• the conscious, the pre-conscious, the unconscious
• right and left brain thinking
In the conceptual age, we will need to foster and encourage right-directed thinking (representing creativity and emotion) over left-directed thinking(representing logical, analytical thought) -Pink (2005)
LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONSuses logic detail oriented facts rule words and language present and past math and science can comprehend knowing acknowledges order/pattern perception knows object name reality based forms strategies practical safe
RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONSuses feeling "big picture" oriented imagination rules symbols and images present and future philosophy & religion can "get it" (i.e. meaning) believes appreciates spatial perception knows object function fantasy based presents possibilities impetuous risk taking

6. creativity as a relationship between the developer and the outside world
• the systems model (Csiksentmihalyi)
• domain: a set of symbolic rules and procedures
• field: the people who act as gatekeepers to that domain
![Page 92: Software Innovation course](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555177a7b4c9057f478b4e15/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
7. creativity as a state of mind:
• flow (Csiksentmihalyi)
• clear goals at every stage
• immediate feedback
• challenge/skill balance
• action and awareness merged
• distractions excluded from consciousness
• no worry of failure
• self-consciousness absent
• time distortion
• activity becomes autotelic (an end in itself)
![Page 93: Software Innovation course](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555177a7b4c9057f478b4e15/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
8. creativity as a universal mental skill -to be enhanced (Csiksentmihalyi)
• acquisition of creative energy
• curiosity
• cultivating flow
• habits of strength
• internal traits
• problem finding
• divergent thinking
• choosing a special domain
![Page 94: Software Innovation course](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555177a7b4c9057f478b4e15/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
eight perspectives on personal creativity in software development:
creativity as:the developer’s mental process: recognising and exploiting
discovery points
a set of personal development competences concerned with both solving problems and recognising opportunities
a style of thinking associated with different strengths in individual’s development personalities
meta-thinking: recognising predispositions and tendencies in one’s own (and others’ ) thinking and coming beyond them
![Page 95: Software Innovation course](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555177a7b4c9057f478b4e15/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
eight perspectives on personal creativity in software development: (continued)
creativity as:whole-brain thinking: beyond rationality
a relationship between the individual developer and communities of people and ideas (domain, field)
a state of mind: the way the developer’s mind is disposed when being creative (flow)
a universal mental skill to be enhanced

• good understanding and exploitation of roles, especially those which promote creativity
• highly functional dialogue-based communicative interactions, including accommodation of divergent thinking
• high levels of team learning leading to flexible response to challenges (agility)
• good shared understanding of common purpose (overview) even in the situation of rapid change
• constructive software practice patterns – that is productive work practices
• diverse and deep expertise, well integrated
• intense awareness of their environment

some defining teamwork questions:• which people would you want in your innovative team?
• which roles should be filled in an innovative team process?
• how structured should the team process be (tools and techniques versus free interaction)?
• what is the creativity environment for a your team and how can you improve it?
• what are the innovative work habits (patterns) of your teams?
• how does the team promote team learning and dialogue?
• how does the team develop a shared purpose and overview?
• what kind of automated tool support does an innovative team need?

creativity support tool tasks: (Shneiderman)
(1) searching and browsing digital libraries, the web, and other resources
(2) visualizing data and processes to understand and discover relationships
(3) consulting with peers and mentors for intellectual and emotional support
(4) thinking by free associations to make new combinations of ideas(5) exploring solutions—what-if tools and simulation models(6) composing artefacts and performances step-by-step(7) reviewing and replaying session histories to support reflection(8) disseminating results to gain recognition and add to the
searchable resources

• A man lives on the twelfth floor of an apartment building. Every morning he takes the elevator down to the lobby and leaves the building. In the evening, he gets into the elevator, and, if there is someone else in the elevator -- or if it was raining that day -- he goes back to his floor directly. Otherwise, he goes to the tenth floor and walks up two flights of stairs to his apartment.

open-source community principlesvirtual net-enabled community
communities of programmers set the norms for practice and provide a wider sense of contributing and belonging. The community is often enabled by the internet and the products of the community are free and open to all its members.
the software challenge
the focus of the community is the software it builds: the software solution, characterised as a challenge to be collectively overcome.
self-organisation in networks
work is self-organised by independent and equal peers in networks across traditional organisational boundaries, rather than managed in the traditional sense. Networks merge, change and dissolve in response to evolving technical challenges.
technical mastery programmers aspire to technical excellence – mastery of their craft - where the ability to create innovative or elegant programming solutions is the primary measure of success.
self-realisation in the technological meritocracy
the community sets the scene for personal expression, creativity, heroism and championing innovation. Membership of, and status in the technological elite is the primary reward, not commercial success.
code sharing, peer feedback, improvisation
improvement of the software solution takes place through code sharing and code revision by other programmers. The process is iterative and improvisatory.
technology leadership
programmer communities aspire to and attain technology leadership through technical mastery applied to the production of software solutions. The techno-elite do not follow markets or technology trends – they lead the markets and set the trends through innovation.
code quality the engineering quality of the resultant code is the measure of success.
programming competence development
programming competence development is the motivating factor for improvement.

private collective model (von Hippel and von Krogh)
• existing economic innovation models:• private investment (industry)
• innovation supported by private investors (typically companies) who expect private returns
• intellectual property law, copyright, patent (=knowledge/innovation loss to society)
• collective action model (science)• innovators relinquish control of new knowledge to a common pool for the
common good• typically supported by the state
• new model (open source)• private collective
• Developer-users invest their own resources• free revealing of knowledge (code)

the creative software developer
• the developer’s mental process: recognising and exploiting discovery points
• a set of personal development competences concerned with both solving problems and recognising opportunities
• a style of thinking associated with different strengths in individual’s development personalities
• meta-thinking: recognising predispositions and tendencies in one’s own (and others’ ) thinking and coming beyond them
• whole-brain thinking: beyond rationality• a relationship between the individual developer and communities
of people and ideas (domain, field)• a state of mind: the way the developer’s mind is disposed when
being creative (flow)• a universal mental skill to be enhanced
