Abstract

The author introduces a novel concept and the transformation guidance required for organisations to manage innovation, "Do No Harm," which is a concept successfully used in healthcare practice. He believes the DNH concept is a critical and inseparable response to the overseen continuous economic and innovation growth, responsible for the growing challenges to sustaining our lives on earth. The author believes it will guide fulfilling our capacity to address those goals by 2030 or beyond.
