CEOs consistently name innovation as one of their companies' top priorities. But curiously, new-product innovation has been steadily declining over the past two decades. Management probably wants more innovation but gets less of it because innovation means changes. These changes often crop up in the middle of design projects as engineers learn more about the application and technologies they are using. In short, mid-stream change is common and natural in innovation projects, but engineers and their managers have learned that such changes often have costly consequences. So they plan carefully and stick to the plan to avoid these consequences. Software developers have pioneered new methods of dealing with midstream change. Formerly, they used a so-called waterfall method, which was based on heavy up-front planning and strictly sticking to the plan to avoid rework. Here are three fallacies that lead engineers to fear change: 1. Flexibility is expensive. 2. Flexibility makes projects unpredictable. 3. Flexibility delays market launch
