Black ops is a word often used in the military. It stands for operations that are classified or off book. Basically in military jargon black ops means the group is going in without backup. In black ops innovation the same can be true. With black ops innovation the innovation team is on their own. They will be discussing new products or services without interference. Many of the “black ops innovation” groups are working on classified projects. This means they are the only ones to know what is being asked of them.
Another context black ops innovation can refer to is a group that calls themselves the black ops. Often this has to do with computer programming or computer games. However, the more traditional thought is that black ops innovation deals with the classified projects being worked on.
