Were I to paraphrase myself, I would certainly say: Innovation is a process, not an event. Most of the time, we don't hear about the backstory behind seemingly "disruptive" innovations, so we see them as events. Rarely if ever are they nothing but a step in a chain of events.

A business can ask itself "How are we involving the customer at the front-end of innovation, in the idea generation phases?" If the answer is "We're not" then a simple solution could be to have a suggestions box on your website, a customer contest to come up with new ideas, or to hire an organization that offers Voice of the Customer--like BrainReactions.

The reason most businesses choose to take bigger steps is that a number of costs (testing, marketing, customer support) are relatively constant.

A Systematic VoC collection with attention to finer detail coupled with some techniques like Scenario Planning & Total Value Management will help the developer get it right. While Scenario Planning will help to peek into future, Total Value Management will help to understand as what drives the customer.
