After all, most (probably 90%) of all innovation projects undertaken in large corporations are reactive projects trying to respond to a market threat or competitive move. Demonstrate that innovation depends on finding the most innovative people, who by definition are rarely the more efficient people.

Planning for metrics and reports may feel like the last thing you want to worry about when there are so many more important things to do during the launching of a new IoT project. My “measure of success” wasn’t management’s measure of success, and I found myself pushing for a project that had zero reason for survival.

To encourage you and to provide a mid-survey report, I thought I'd reflect on a few findings to date. There are plenty of surveys that report what CEOs or senior executives think, but not enough is heard from the people who are responsible for day to day innovation projects and activities. Here are a few of the findings so far.

Good innovation, like good cooking or the development of a human being, takes time, and time is something that is so constrained that most innovation projects simply compress time into manageable blocks, and in doing so compress and constrain good ideas. This is one reason why ideas like agile and rapid sprints seem so compelling.
