"Work processes are important, and the more complex the innovation task is, the more important they are. Work processes capture the best practices over time, standardize those practices for everyone on the team, and provide a common language for everyone to use. Additionally, they are key to defining success on multiple levels.

Many people are familiar with work processes, including Bottom Line Innovation, TRIZ, and the various Six Sigma elements. These standardized techniques for work processes have gained a broader use throughout the chemical industry. "
