Modern Day Modeling Innovates the Innovation Cycle

Innovation is the creation of a new market and/or filling a need previously left wanting. The Space Needle helped brand Seattle as an innovative city; attracting people and investment in the vision of a “Century 21.” Traditionally, business models present vision in terms of projected financial results. Once a deal’s made, it’s a race for dollars against time. Competing considerations to the wind. Famously, the Space Needle’s iconic and innovative design was born from a sketch on a napkin in 1959 and finished in record time –

“it debuted 400 days after construction began to serve as a centerpiece of the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair—work conditions on the site were grim. Construction workers were paid $4 a day for their services, and they were forced to navigate unsafe conditions on the job, like having to balance on planks hundreds of feet in the air.” – Julissa Treviño, Smithsonian.com

Last year’s renovation of the Space Needle is an example of innovating for the future state incorporating values like safety. In the modern renovation –

“Construction crews who did the job worked on a heavy, open-air platform under the restaurant to do the new flooring, hoisted about 400 feet above the ground. Tarps helped prevent wind and rain from interfering with their progress.” – Christine Clarridge, The Seattle Times
