Find operating patterns before they become standard practice.
The opportunity is often a new way to use familiar technology. Signals maps the operating patterns and business models taking hold around your category, so you can spot an approach worth learning from before it becomes obvious.
What is an innovation radar?
An innovation radar maps emerging operating patterns and business models. It looks at new ways teams use technology that already works, rather than the technology itself, so you can see shifts in how value is created while they are still early.
What the scan does, and what your team keeps.
- Reads case studies, conference talks, scholarly work, and corporate disclosures for new ways of operating.
- Finds business models, channel shifts, and pricing experiments before they become a recognized category.
- Tags each pattern by its underlying mechanism, so you can spot it in an adjacent industry.
- A pattern library with named operating patterns, real examples, and sources.
- A quarterly update that shows which patterns are gaining traction and which have faded.
