The document discusses completing the innovation management puzzle by examining existing and new pieces of the puzzle. It outlines existing pieces like innovation portfolio management, innovation measurement and metrics, and high-level innovation strategies. It then presents some new pieces like orchestrated ideation, rigorous idea vetting and strategic grouping, iterative design, and using full innovation life cycle methods to improve success rates. The document suggests addressing misalignment as a key part of completing the innovation management puzzle.
