Based on literature, exploring the future potentials of novel ideas at their early stage is deemed beneficial to improve decision accuracy. A proprietary framework referred to as the Innovation System Roadmap is the main outcome of this research which embeds, stimulates and activates futures-oriented reasoning to support innovation managers making sound decision on novel ideas under extreme uncertainties and dynamic society and market.
