Innovation is often described as “something different that creates value.” And while “creating value” might sound great, it’s the “something different” that we often struggle with. Humans don’t like change. We might say we do. But “different” is unknown. It’s unfamiliar. And it’s uncomfortable. It requires us to change in some way, whether we're changing our attitudes, our processes, or our current ways of thinking.

A simple truth about status games is that we all play them, whether we are aware of it or not. It is our drive for status that helps us form and signal identity, figure out who we are in relation to others and derive a sense of meaning about our existence, whether that meaning is rooted in achievement, care for those around us or our ability to enforce our will on others.

In too many companies, an innovation team is allowed to pursue its own agenda and imagine itself to be a separate island from the rest of the company. The results are always disappointing: a lot of creative ideas, but a failure to deliver meaningful growth. The root problem is the disconnect between strategy and innovation. To succeed, corporate innovation needs to be bounded by a clear set of strategic priorities that matter to the business.
