Learning with innovation histories
Constructing an 'innovation history' is a method for recording and reflecting on an innovation process. People who have been involved in the innovation jointly constructed a detailed written account based on their recollections and available documents. The process of preparing this history stimulates discussion, reflection and learning amongst all those involved. Others can also learn, either by studying an individual case or by comparing experiences. Future planning can build on the lessons learned, prepare a shared vision and act as a mechanism for change.
