Back in the 1950's, my grandfather was an engineer with GE. He was interested in the same question - how can we come up with new innovations on reliable schedule? After honing in a process for his own work, and then internally inside GE, he published it as book - "Professional Creativity".
It's not focused just on the spark of an idea, but covers the whole process from the start of defining what you need to figure out, all the way through to convincing others to use the solution.
I'm clearly biased, but it's a great book! I've used the processes in it all my life and have found them incredibly useful. You can still find copies on Amazon[1].
