Establishing an innovation standard, as facilitated by ISO 56001, is not about stifling creativity or impeding execution. Instead, it’s a framework designed to enhance the innovation process. The key lies in creating a culture of innovation that values creativity while ensuring a structured approach to execution.

We need to get closer to ‘real-time’ This reliance on rapidly out-of-date understanding cannot be the basis for any justifications for high-stake bets when it comes to innovation. We need to change our thinking and design in the digital insight part more specifically within and along the innovation process.

Embrace failure and learning: Understand that not all ideas will succeed, and failure is a part of the innovation process. The leadership of an organization should have a system in place to accept, rank, and channel ideas. Offer bonuses, promotions, or special recognition to motivate and encourage their entrepreneurial spirit.

For many companies, the desire to be more innovative is driven by a strategic issue – flat-lined growth, competitive threats, industry upheaval, etc. Over the past decade, I’ve watched the vast majority of innovation programs, and corporate innovation leaders, quietly disappear within 2-3 years of inception (often much sooner).

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. The excitement of ‘breaking innovation’ is in the pioneering, experimenting, discovering, sharing and exchanging.

Furthermore, only 20% of companies are (or feel) ready to scale innovation because very few leaders are satisfied with the skills they have. There’s a clear gap between innovation aspirations and organizational capabilities. All you need is a culture in which innovation has power and influence and can enable initiatives.
