Paolo Lorenzoni: Where Lean Startups and Design Thinking Meet - The Accelerators - WSJ | Business Innovation | Scoop.it

John Michel's curator insight, January 31, 2014 6:22 PM

The true test of any concept is how others ultimately grasp and accept it, and make it their own. Bringing the right people together in the beginning can mean a better chance for success in the end. That’s the power of the innovation framework and the network of innovation champions that support it.

Thomas2c's curator insight, February 4, 2014 6:25 AM

Don't forget about selling the idea such innovation effort is in alignment with company strategy. By definition innovation is pulling the boat a little bit aside from the initial route, and captain has to understand why to be able to sponsor the move.

Is Your Innovation Problem Really a Strategy Problem?

Is Your Innovation Problem Really a Strategy Problem? | Business Innovation | Scoop.it
Why frontline employees need to be part of strategy-making.
Kasia Hein-Peters's insight:

Key points from this blog are:

Top-down strategy is dangerous.  When one group creates the strategy and expect another bunch to implement it, the result will be an air sandwich.  The consequences of this are that strategies that may be great on paper die on the ground. Expanding the number of people that contribute to strategy creation is one good way to avoid this problem.Innovation and strategy are tightly linked.  Merchant is focused on strategy creation, but the same issues are true for innovation.  Innovation works best when everyone in the firm is involved with creating and executing the ideas that will drive the firm to success.Our problem isn’t always obvious.  The firm right now thinks that they have an innovation process problem, but they’re really facing a strategy problem.  If they change the way they make strategy, they will start to get different innovation outcomes.  And that will make it easier to realize their strategy.
