Innovation is what many of us do for a living, day in, day out. It's not what it used to be: a once in a life time flash of inspiration, followed by years of perspiration. We are expected to innovate every day, routinely almost. And this new regimen calls for a stable, universal procedure, a method to follow, regardless of mood or muse. That is What the ITM (The Innovation Turing Machine) is all about. A procedure that guarantees that you never run out of steps to proceed with, never hit the inventor's "wall". You crank along, following the rules of the ITM until you achieve your goal, or until you run out of time or money. The ITM is a universal procedure. It works regardless of the nature of your innovation. It applies to small stuff, and to super huge projects; it is implementable for a sole researcher and for a group -- even for the public at large!

The Innovation Turing Machine may be viewed as an innovation map. You use it to mark the wriggly path of your innovation progress. It's analogous to the map used by the treasure hunter. Try it today!
