Often times, the most successful and innovative companies stem from the humblest of origins. Its rapid expansion from a small, family-run wholesale goods business in 1928 into a multinational conglomerate with 30,000 employees, can be attributed in part to the creative – and ingenious – ways it has crowdsourced ideas from employees.

Consumer demands have never been higher, and large organization who don’t innovate will eventually die (think of Blockbuster or Xerox).

Outsourcing innovation project management might be the most strategic money you spend this year. It’s not a new idea but it’s one more companies should consider. But first: If you’ve not got an innovation plan in the process of being executed, right now, you are treading water and will eventually drown. So what’s stopping you from kicking off an innovation initiative? Innovation feels like extra work to operationally focused people.

From my perspective I’ve been looking at a real challenge today, that many consultants offering innovation services are not providing real sustaining consulting value to clients, only ad-hoc services. In many ways, the consulting industry specializing in innovation is its own worst enemy. Innovation solutions simply need to be crafted in my opinion. Bespoke needs to be recognized as necessary for innovation solutions.

In this post we are going to look at one of the first stages of a successful innovation programme – Leveraging the Crowd. Although the terms “crowdsourcing”, “open innovation” and “ideation” can sound complex and novel, they are merely new methods of engaging larger crowds to gather ideas and input. For a growing number of organisations crowdsourcing is a very exciting concept and they are integrating it fully into their innovation strategy.

Perhaps I have fallen into the very trap I have campaigned about in the past, in recognizing and resolving the disappointing results we achieve from all the work we put into the front end of innovation. The “warm and fuzzy” front end of innovation can make us all a little grumpy. I recently wrote out a newsletter – termed a thought or two – to my innovation network. The subject was the changes occurring at the front end of innovation.

A couple of years ago, there was an article in Forbes which said, “innovation is often produced over time with a lot of collective sweat equity by many people.” It is hard to put it any better—but there is rarely innovation that hasn’t its origins in collaboration. Innovation and collaboration aren’t separate. Collaboration drives innovation and value creation, thereby helping businesses create wealth. The scope of stakeholders for innovation is expanding.

Every change starts with an idea. From little ideas great oak trees can grow! Only by innovating on these processes and mindsets can we ever realistically derive the bigger change impacts (or innovations) we would all love to deliver.
