Researchers across the world agree that engaged employees drive the culture of true innovation in successful companies. What is employee engagement? Even leaders who do value their employees frequently mistake employee satisfaction for employee engagement. Giving your employees free food coupons, spa membership, or other such perks can sure make them happy, but these don’t translate into meaningful engagement.

I have argued in the past that innovation management needs to radically adjust and needs to be designed differently, it needs to be highly adaptive. We need to get far more comfortable with working in ecosystems, managed in platform designs to work more collaboratively. Innovation management itself must become “fluid” in design, in adaptation so the right approach is to be constantly ‘adaptive’ and put together what is needed to tackle the challenge that needs resolution.

The important aspect of the theory which most discussions ignore though is that while it is happening, management at the established companies think they’re making the right decision to let the new companies take over the low-end of the market. Since company leaders have often been taught that increasing profitability is the holy grail of management, it makes perfect sense to allow someone else to take over the low market.

A good strategy, well outlined should encourage innovation and gain engagement but it can equally determine how we break down our imposed boundaries by its strategic intent, to encourage exploring and extending on what we know into the what we need to know. This suggests that there are multiple failure points within the management of innovation. It becomes the “living” innovation document to refer too, engagement with (and improve).

Premise: We don’t need tons of research to tell us the importance of having employees who are engaged in their work. The result of an engaged set of employees shows up when an employee goes beyond his call of duty to serve a customer or when a team gets formed organically to address some specific issue that has cropped up during the day. It is no surprise either when that having such an engaged workforce can and does become a true competitive advantage.
