They settle for small changes and improvements and continue to look at innovation as if it’s extra work. They pay lip service to innovation and waste time doing culture assessments. They also spend precious time developing a precise process for innovation.

To make innovation happen takes time. I don’t mean the time it takes for your innovative ideas to mature into their full revenue-generating glory. I mean the time it takes employees to develop insights, generate ideas, and elaborate and test business models. Innovation requires dedicated time – significant blocks of time to “get into the zone,” to focus and concentrate. But fortunately there are ways to make innovation more efficient.

There's been a resurgence lately in the concept of open innovation. I'm not quite sure why open innovation as a concept has received more press and more attention lately. It's not as though we have new open innovation methods or mechanisms, or that open innovation has demonstrated more effective outcomes. Rather, I think, open innovation becomes interesting when we are distributed and looking for new ways of working. When should you use open innovation?

“Open innovation is the use of purposive inflows and outflows of knowledge to accelerate internal innovation, and expand the markets for external use of innovation, respectively. This paradigm] assumes that firms can and should use external ideas as well as internal ideas, and internal and external paths to market, as they look to advance their technology.” ( Henry Chesbrough, 2006 ).

For many companies, the Holy Grail is to have the entire company innovating; and especially the front line employees. Deep and broad engagement unlocks hidden potential, and the payoff from front line innovation is better alignment, faster action, and improved results. Innovation seldom happens in a vacuum.
