True. But rarely do they analyze their way to innovation ...

Analysis leads to improvement. Improvement is not necessarily innovation.

It's more about the evolution of ideas. Can we say that an automobile is an innovation or is it just an improved carriage? So, probably, analyzing what works and how it can be improved can lead to drastic changes in concept.
