Innovations that are flexible enough to withstand changes are more likely to be adopted because they can align more closely with the existing practices and values of the target audience.

Innovation is about figuring out alternative ways to do things. Flexibility in innovation refers to the ability of an innovation to adapt or be modified to better fit the values, practices, and cultural norms of potential adopters. 
This adaptability, sometimes called "reinvention," involves altering certain characteristics of the innovation to increase its compatibility with the existing social system. Such innovations are more appealing because they can be tailored to meet the specific needs and preferences of different users or contexts.

Innovation needs a certain level of guidelines and rules. Create a disciplined and managed space for developing and testing new models, products, and business approaches, shield innovation teams from the organization’s dominant logic and establish standard operating procedures, which can stifle new thinking and approaches.

Flexibility allows an innovation to be adjusted, thereby reducing perceived complexity and increasing compatibility. Innovations that are perceived as having lower social or economic costs, fitting well with current values and practices, and being of low complexity are more readily adopted. This agility makes it easier for potential users to try and observe the innovation without significant sacrifice or commitment, further facilitating its adoption.

Flexibility in innovation significantly impacts its adoption by enhancing the innovation's compatibility with existing practices and cultural norms. When an innovation is flexible, it can undergo modifications to better align with the values and practices of potential adopters. This adaptability, often referred to as "reinvention," allows the innovation to fit more seamlessly into the prevailing social system, increasing its appeal and likelihood of adoption.

Innovations that are flexible enough to withstand changes are more likely to be adopted because they can align more closely with the existing practices and values of the target audience. This adaptability reduces perceived complexity and enhances the innovation's relevance, making it easier for potential users to try and observe the innovation without significant commitment.
