There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.

But many organisations we work with fall into the trap of using execution metrics on innovation projects. We believe innovation needs its own metrics. In innovation, the main task is not to measure if you are on time and on budget, which are key metrics in an execution project.
