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

ENT 435 Week 4 Assignment Interview and Reflection Assignment
Details:
For this assignment, you will continue to reflect on what it takes to create “innovation architecture” to support a culture
of innovation within organizations. As part of the assignment, you will conduct an interview with a local business
owner or leader or member of a management team to learn more about the techniques organizations utilize (or fail to
utilize) to encourage and support the implementation of innovations.
Select your interview candidate and contact the person to set up an appointment. Try to schedule your interview well
in advance of the assignment’s due date. You may conduct your interview in person or via phone. You should present
the consent letter attached in the Module materials to the person you intend to interview.
Prepare a list of at least 5-7 questions for your interview. Your questions should focus on specific processes within
organizations for encouraging and implementing innovations and challenges organizations face in when trying to
innovate.
After you complete the interview, write a 1,000-word reflection on what you learned in the interview and how your
understanding of the importance of effective innovation architecture has developed or changed. Address the following
in your response:
