This poor strategic understanding creates a lack of alignment and directing innovation. If an organisation lacks top leadership engagement it becomes, for many, the reason why they seem to just simply ‘limp’ along in their innovation activity, delivering ‘simply’ incremental outcomes.

It drives innovation to a transactional level and leads organizations to seek the perceived lower risk of acquiring new ideas vs developing them in house. Often agile development initiatives are not ‘agile’ at all. Perhaps the risk isn’t lower after all.

While just like for startups, large enterprises benefit from the tumbling costs of developing digital products, they face deep-rooted problems that come from being large and successful. High complexity and high cost means the only organizations that can afford the technology are government, academia and very large companies.

The (constant) call for greater Government support to break down barriers. One that I tend to agree does is GE, although its leadership speed and need to adapt is struggling to bring its organization up to speed, it is not working “all the pumps” on this one.
