<strong>ENT</strong> <strong>435</strong> Week 2 Assignment The Importance of <strong>Innovation</strong> Architecture<br />
Details:<br />
In <strong>Innovation</strong> as Usual: How to Help Your People Bring Great Ideas to Life (2013), Miller <strong>and</strong> Wedell-Wedellsborg<br />
discuss the importance of establishing systems within organizations that promote not only the creativity that results in<br />
innovation, but also make it possible for employees to bring innovative ideas to fruition. Miller <strong>and</strong> Wedell-<br />
Wedellsborg argue that a leader’s primary job “is not to innovate; it is to become an innovation architect, creating a<br />
work environment that helps . . . people engage in the key innovation behaviors as part of their daily work” (p. 4).<br />
Such a work environment must be reinforced by innovation architecture—the structures within an organization that<br />
support an innovation, from the brainstorming phase to final realization. The more well developed the architecture<br />
<strong>and</strong> the simpler the processes involved, the more likely employees are to be innovators.<br />
For this assignment, you will research the innovation architecture of at least three companies that are well-known for<br />
successfully supporting a culture of innovation. Write a 1,500-word paper that addresses the following:<br />
1. What particular elements of each organization’s culture, processes, <strong>and</strong> management systems <strong>and</strong> styles<br />
work well to support innovation?<br />
2. Why do you think these organizations have been able to capitalize on innovation <strong>and</strong> intrapreneurship while<br />
others have not?<br />
3. Based on what you have learned, what processes <strong>and</strong> systems might actually stifle innovation <strong>and</strong><br />
intrapreneurship?<br />
4. Imagine yourself as an innovation architect. What structures or processes would you put in place to foster a<br />
culture of innovation within your own organization?<br />
Include in-text citations to at least four reputable secondary sources (such as trade journals, academic journals, <strong>and</strong><br />
professional or industry websites) in your paper.<br />
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success<br />
Center. An abstract is not required.<br />
This assignment uses a grading rubric. Instructors will be using the rubric to grade the assignment; therefore,<br />
students should review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the assignment criteria<br />
<strong>and</strong> expectations for successful completion of the assignment.<br />

<strong>ENT</strong> <strong>435</strong> Week 3 CLC: Phase 1-Proposing, Evaluating, <strong>and</strong> Selecting an <strong>Innovation</strong><br />
Details:<br />
This is a CLC assignment.<br />
During Phase 1, each individual will submit their own idea for an innovation along with a model they find useful for<br />
evaluating its merits. Each team member is responsible for completing research on various models. While there are<br />
several models in circulation for evaluating innovations, such as The Lean StartUp Plan, NOMMAR, SNIFF, <strong>and</strong> the<br />
linear <strong>and</strong> mental models of innovation, innovators should not feel constrained by any particular model. Feel free to<br />
borrow elements from multiple models to develop one that would work best to most effectively evaluate your own<br />
innovation.<br />
Teams will then review all of the submissions <strong>and</strong> choose the most promising idea to pursue. The idea should be<br />
selected by application of one of the evaluation models submitted by team members. You will then write a report of<br />
1,500-2,500 words that describes the team’s selection process <strong>and</strong> identifies the final choice. The report must contain<br />
the following components:<br />
1. A one- or two-paragraph summary of each team member’s idea, a description of the model used to evaluate<br />
the idea, <strong>and</strong> the results of the evaluation. Specifically, the evaluation should identify the merits, drawbacks, <strong>and</strong><br />
challenges associated with the idea.<br />
2. Identification of the selected idea for the project accompanied by a description of the model used to evaluate<br />
the idea. Include the results of the evaluation, which will serve as the justification for the team’s selection.<br />
Preliminarily forecast the most significant challenges that could impede the development of the selected idea.<br />
3. A project plan that summarizes the roles or tasks assigned to each team member that must be<br />
accomplished to complete Phase 2 of the project due in Module 6.<br />
4. In-text citations from at least five reputable secondary sources. Each person on the team must contribute an<br />
article from the research that was completed on innovation implementation/evaluation models.<br />

<strong>ENT</strong> <strong>435</strong> Week 4 Assignment Interview <strong>and</strong> Reflection Assignment<br />
Details:<br />
For this assignment, you will continue to reflect on what it takes to create “innovation architecture” to support a culture<br />
of innovation within organizations. As part of the assignment, you will conduct an interview with a local business<br />
owner or leader or member of a management team to learn more about the techniques organizations utilize (or fail to<br />
utilize) to encourage <strong>and</strong> support the implementation of innovations.<br />
Select your interview c<strong>and</strong>idate <strong>and</strong> contact the person to set up an appointment. Try to schedule your interview well<br />
in advance of the assignment’s due date. You may conduct your interview in person or via phone. You should present<br />
the consent letter attached in the Module materials to the person you intend to interview.<br />
Prepare a list of at least 5-7 questions for your interview. Your questions should focus on specific processes within<br />
organizations for encouraging <strong>and</strong> implementing innovations <strong>and</strong> challenges organizations face in when trying to<br />
innovate.<br />
After you complete the interview, write a 1,000-word reflection on what you learned in the interview <strong>and</strong> how your<br />
underst<strong>and</strong>ing of the importance of effective innovation architecture has developed or changed. Address the following<br />
in your response:
1. What are the most valuable things you learned about effective innovation architecture?<br />
2. Identify some of the significant challenges you believe you might face when it comes to suggesting <strong>and</strong><br />
seeing innovations through in the organizations in which you are or may be involved?<br />
3. How might you apply what you learned in your interview <strong>and</strong> about innovation architecture in general to help<br />
foster a culture of innovation within your own organization?<br />
Cite two additional reputable secondary sources on innovation architecture or on creating a culture of innovation in<br />
your reflection.<br />
Provide an interview summary at the end of your reflection that includes the following information:<br />
1. The name of the person you interviewed <strong>and</strong> number of years he/she has been a manager.<br />
2. The name of the company at which he/she is currently employed.<br />
3. How long the person has been a manager at the current company.<br />
4. Date of the interview <strong>and</strong> whether it took place in person or via phone.<br />
5. Contact information for the person you interviewed.<br />
6. The list of your interview questions.<br />
Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student<br />
Success Center. An abstract is/is not required.<br />

<strong>ENT</strong> <strong>435</strong> Week 7 Assignment Reflection on the Team Project<br />
Details:<br />
Write a 500-750-word reflection on your team project that addresses the following:<br />
1. Assess the overall effectiveness of your team. How did the team’s dynamics contribute to both the success<br />
<strong>and</strong> the challenges of creating an implementation plan for your innovation?<br />
2. Assess the overall effectiveness of the model your team selected to both choose <strong>and</strong> implement your<br />
innovation. What were its strengths <strong>and</strong> weaknesses?<br />
3. What would you have done differently if you were working on the project independently? What other<br />
potential strategies might be more effective for bringing this particular innovation to fruition in your opinion?<br />
4. Overall, do you think teams contribute to or hinder innovative thinking <strong>and</strong> processes? Why?<br />
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.<br />

<strong>ENT</strong> <strong>435</strong> Week 7 CLC: Phase 3-Presenting the Plan<br />
Details:<br />
This is a CLC assignment.<br />
In Phase 3, your team will prepare a presentation to recommend your implementation plan to the appropriate<br />
audience for your innovation (e.g., venture capitalists, your CEO, your board of directors, etc.). Your goal is to<br />
persuade the audience to back your plan. Prepare 10-15 professionally developed presentation slides that<br />
accomplish the following:<br />
1. Describe the innovation <strong>and</strong> its value to both customers <strong>and</strong> the organization/entity to which you are pitching<br />
your idea.<br />
2. Review the implementation plan in significant enough depth to demonstrate your thorough underst<strong>and</strong>ing of<br />
the implementation process.<br />
3. Include a cost/benefit analysis appropriate for your particular audience.
Ensure your slides are visually appealing <strong>and</strong> conform to conventions of effective slide design. Include a reference<br />
slide with a minimum of three secondary resources utilized in the development of your presentation.<br />
You are not required to submit this assignment to Turnitin, unless otherwise directed by your instructor. If so directed,<br />

<strong>ENT</strong> <strong>435</strong> Week 8 Assignment Create an <strong>Innovation</strong> (Benchmark Assignment)<br />
Details:<br />
Evaluate the internal processes or strategies within an organization in which you are involved, such as your<br />
workplace, school, church, or community group, in order to identify a problem that provides an opportunity for<br />
innovation. Then, determine an innovative solution for addressing that problem. Examples of potential solutions are<br />
entering a new market, implementing a new practice or process, or even changing management structures. The<br />
ultimate goal of your solution should be to increase the diffusion of innovation within the organization <strong>and</strong> contribute<br />
to a culture that appreciates innovation as a key to competitive advantage <strong>and</strong> organizational success.<br />
Though your final paper will not be due until the end of the course, you should identify your problem <strong>and</strong> generate<br />
potential solutions early on. Begin drafting your implementation plan in stages as you work through the course topics.<br />
As with your CLC project, you should research <strong>and</strong> select a model for evaluating both the feasibility of your idea <strong>and</strong><br />
the implementation plan.<br />
1. Describe the problem your innovation targets. What is the scope of the problem <strong>and</strong> which stakeholders,<br />
both within the organization <strong>and</strong> without, does it impact?<br />
2. Describe your innovation <strong>and</strong> explain how it addresses the problem. How will it meet the needs of the<br />
organization <strong>and</strong> all stakeholders involved?<br />
3. How does the innovation contribute to the organization’s competitive advantage?<br />
4. Develop an implementation plan for effectively diffusing the innovation within the organization. Make sure<br />
the plan addresses potential resistance <strong>and</strong> obstacles, including people <strong>and</strong> processes.<br />
5. Identify an appropriate method that could be used for measuring the impact of the innovation on the<br />
organization. Explain why you think this is a relevant measure.<br />
6. Finally, assume your innovation is adopted by the organization. Make recommendations for additional<br />
improvements within in this organization (in processes, practices, structures, etc.) that could create <strong>and</strong> sustain<br />
momentum for innovation.<br />
Include at least eight in-text citations from at least five secondary resources from your research.<br />
