Building the Innovation Organization

Developing and implementing new ideas can work only when backed by an innovative organization--one geared to change.

Innovation is about human creativity and ingenuity--piecing together a puzzle, solving problems, and creating solutions. Developing and implementing new ideas can work only when backed by an innovative organization--one geared to change.

The innovation system provides the structure for an idea, and strategy directs it, but it is people who actually make it progress. However, just throwing people at the innovation challenge is not enough: you need to provide in which they use their creativity and share their ideas.

ACTION POINT: Encourage the creative spark of ingenuity in your organization.
