Great point Eric. I tend to think about this process as it relates to institutional decisions, but the starfish world we live in is pushing more and more technology decisions out to individual faculty & students.

Thanks for posting this Jon. I think this model connects well with the theme of your blog… “Begin with the End in Mind” That is, how will this new technology impact, shape, effect our faculty's teaching and our students' learning.

I do also wonder though, at what point there will be a crossover with institutional and enterprise tools with the “cloud” if you will. We already have some faculty using external tools for teaching, so in some terms, going through this model will be a personal faculty member's process, and not necessarily at the institutional instructional computing department's level.

I agree. Asking "Why" at least five times is critical to the innovation process. Innovation without a purpose is not an innovation. It might be a nifty invention or new idea but until it delivers real value to someone or solves a real problem it is not an innovation. Innovation is a better way to deliver value.
