Whenever you’re dealing with an influx of product feature ideas, requests, or similar data, you’re going to need ways to manage them.

Innovation strategy needs to be aligned with business strategy, explaining how innovation creates value for customers, captures that value, and what kind of innovation the company must pursue. The strategy will need to cut across departments and be built to evolve over time. Step 1: What’s Your Business Strategy? Innovation is rooted in what your organization does, so any innovation strategy starts with what your business is hoping to achieve.

Where in your business or your team are you willing to bend the rules? Would you be willing to tolerate a sale where the margins were below your team’s KPIs, just in order to get the revenue from the sale? And would you punish a different team member if they wanted to use those same low margins in the future? This shows the gap between what you expect, according to your strategy, and what you tolerate.

Transforming corporate culture is not a small undertaking. There are usually both tangible and intangible costs. When done effectively, the long-term advantages far outweigh the costs of living with a culture that isn't thriving, but how do you measure the impact of such a change? After all, much of what constitutes corporate culture is intangible. For that reason, the goal isn't really to measure the culture but rather to measure the outcomes that are impacted by the culture.
