Finding flow
An innovation needs to be found by 'flow' in order for an idea to spread. This is not something to be planned into an innovation. It happens to it. The Christchurch earthquake was the trigger influence for flow finding the pepi-pod. Haveing distributed 800 pepi-pods to earthquake babies we now have orders for neatrly three thousand more for babies in other regions. Babies, parents, professionals and health planners all feel supported by this simple innovation as it solves a problem for each of them.
