I like to think about it this way.

The “what” is often timeless and stays the same.

The “how” the what is achieved changes.

I need to get from point a to point b (the what)

V1: walk/run/horse

V2: carriage

V3: train

V4: cars

Etc etc

There is another dimension to this as well.

Sometimes the what has to completely be re-architected since society has fundamentally changed.

As an example:

Consider education (what) this will always be required in society.

A naive version of innovation in this space would be to keep things the same and just change the delivery mechanism (online)

A better innovation would be to re-imagine what it means to be educated/schooled.

The best place to start is identifying the assumptions inherent in the current system. , and asking are they still relevant?
