We fail to constantly review and re-engineer the innovation process and tend to layer more upon it, without a consistent reassessing what we are trying to achieve. It is this ‘raw’ power of technology that is transforming much. This often needs different perspectives to form the final position.

I don’t think a bit of traditional thinking about the nature of workplace relationships is incompatible with rapid innovation, agile thinking, evolving workplace paradigms, and aspiring to more meaningful jobs. That is the blessing and curse of igniting technologies. I think a bit of grounding is precisely what the doctor ordered.

For me, the bedrock of innovation is built upon competencies, capabilities, and capacities and all these involve people as well as technology. The net effect, is it does prompt a greater desire, clarity of purpose, identification, and fit required at the senior management level and in general for innovation management construction.

In the current rapidly evolving business environment, staying innovative, agile, and resilient is increasingly difficult for corporates. Similarly, focusing only on optimizing the business can lead to complacency and resistance to change, making it difficult to adapt to new market conditions or emerging technologies.

Large corporations have taken steps towards being more agile and adapting to the rapid pace of digitization by improving their oftentimes long innovation processes and giving more autonomy to employees. Often, it’s due to the speed at which they can innovate and this has a lot to do with their size. Adapt or die. Listen and say yes!

The basics of innovation still form around building engagement, leadership, involvement, in constructing a culture, the climate and environment needed, so as to allow innovation to evolve. We all need to think through the value of the pivot, prototype, the constructing of minimal viable products and rapid experiment and design.

I personally find this solution has not worked as well as intended, as they, the internal consulting team, over time, get sucked into issues detracting them from being the internal force of change, desperately trying to influence the leadership but eventually ending up as being allocated specific projects as project overseers or implementers.

Leaders want to hear this, the sad true is getting a ‘decent ROI’ for innovation constructed (note constructed) is really hard. The value of good leadership & distinct culture creating the linkages. Developing the agility to quickly react to changes, effective and decisive intent.

Perhaps due in part to those sorts of challenging conditions, many organizations today take a comparably cautious view of growth. Will technology continue to grow in influence in our daily lives? Use Hard Trends and exponential technology to drive innovation and accelerate growth. Justifiably so. Hard Trends can help with that.

On a recent client visit to a German OEM of construction machinery, the CEO and the Head of Production gave me a tour of the shop floor – where the final assembly and inspection take place. The company was losing its technology leadership. The Proud Leader. Consequently, margins were shrinking.

Unfortunately, there aren’t enough executive leaders who invest time into strategy— 85 percent of executive leadership teams invest less than one hour each month on strategy, while 50 percent do not spend any time on strategy at all. Strategy Promotes Strategic Agility. What types of new technologies do organizations need to onboard?

Most commonly, traditional project management will continuously track how well a project is progressing and report this to management on a regular basis, while also having set milestones with dates where the status of the entire project can be reviewed. Unfortunately, innovation projects usually have none of the above criteria.
