There may have been a time when people with characteristics of intrapreneurs were discouraged or outright forbidden to innovate, even within their areas of responsibility. Not only are businesses embracing innovation more wholeheartedly, but the innovation team is also fast becoming a standard feature of many workplaces. Starting in 2016, the Queensland Police Service (QPS) in Australia built an Innovation Unit, and saying that it has been successful is an understatement.

Dedicated innovation programs and labs are modern versions of good ol’ silofication. People, teams, initiatives, projects, products, whole departments, become separated from each other, all in the name of innovation. As such, rather than drive innovation, they could actually be killing it. Dedicated innovation programs are to many companies what big perms were to the 80’s – an absolute necessity. There are many types of innovation programs.

Most discussions about “innovation,” including those here on our blog , focus on one of three kinds of innovation: the abstract notion of creativity-driven progress and improvement, the specific activity by an individual of introducing that progress, and the need to institutionalize the same progress as an element of corporate culture and process on an enterprise scale. We generally call that last kind an “innovation program.” Innovation Innovation Program

I tell them, if you don’t perceive yourself as innovative, then you’re not.
