Creating revolutionary innovations is possible for every one of us. However, we must be able to give up our old way of thinking in order to build something new. It is important to understand that a successful innovation is always built around the core objective of its user. The new idea must also provide the company with true business potential. In addition to these factors, effort must be made to find the best possible technology that enables the implementation of the innovation.
What successful innovations have in common is that they have been built around the core needs of their users. Innovations should always be developed for a specific ultimate purpose instead of as an extension to an existing operating model or technology. By listening to your customers carefully and observing them to gain entirely new kinds of insights, your company, too, can create something completely new and take strides in your field.

The user-centric approach, therefore, emphasises the future-oriented approach and the desire to develop the business for the benefit of the customer.
Far too often we are laser focused on hitting the nail on the head that we forget we are building a house. If you want to clear away the fuzzy front end of development, you need to think holistically.
