Introducing Progressia: A simple, field-validated method for technological innovation
Innovation, a growth catalyst, often lacks structure. Unlike science, innovation lacks a comparable, structured method. While tools, frameworks, and practices exist, none precisely mirror the scientific method. The article introduces the Progressia method, leveraging the Technical Readiness Level (...

| description |
Innovation, a growth catalyst, often lacks structure. Unlike science, innovation lacks a comparable, structured method. While tools, frameworks, and practices exist, none precisely mirror the scientific method. The article introduces the Progressia method, leveraging the Technical Readiness Level (TRL) ladder, initially developed by NASA, along with a Need/Market Assessment Ladder, forming an "innovation matrix." Tested in a plant-based protein project by Cereal Docks Group, the method aligns technology advancements with market needs, ensuring a smooth transition to industrialization and market readiness. Showcasing effectiveness in reducing uncertainty, the Progressia method propels successful technical innovation projects also in a corporate environment.
