As innovation becomes a new organizational competency, organizations of all types are challenged to be more innovative to survive and prosper. Our faculty and staff have been studying the process in action for over a decade. Reflecting on 10 years of "innovation stage" projects and experience, we’ve uncovered eight key truths of innovation that are from the individual level to the organizational level.
- Anyone Can Play (Innovation is the invitation to dream)
- It's a Team Sport (Solo is usually not innovative)
- Speed Wins (Think, Build, Learn - quickly)
- Scopes Creep (It can be a good thing)
- Walnuts Before Peanuts (Crack the tough nuts first)
- Communication is Key (People before documentation)
- Write it Down (Capture ideas whenever they come)
- Lead from the Side (Like the leader of a jazz band)
