BJ Fogg's "7 steps to innovation"

BJ Fogg from Stanford has a good page on patterns of innovation, with seven steps to innovation that he sees over and over again.

1. Identify an institutional need that intersects with your passion.

2. Get a clear vision of your goal (this step includes doing your homework on what others have done).

3. Enlist support from others and seek feedback (really two parts here).

4. Create value -- at first this means working on your own time without compensation or recognition.

5. Document and share your success/progress.

6. Work to institutionalize your product/service/vision (be satisfied with baby steps; they add up).

7. Persist despite setbacks.

thanks BJ!
