Putting more resources behind the likely winners, rather than on projects that simply stay ‘blue sky’ or conceptual, then get picked up by others to commercialize. Effective execution gets very complicated and the skill of the project coordinator comes really to the fore. Offer true leadership that is leading from the front.

Note that what my clients are asking for is to create an innovation capacity that outlasts a product need, or market gap, or executive team member.

It’s the execution and refinement of the initial idea that dooms the project. Many innovators take on a project without a plan to measure and revise the return on investment projection (and course-correct) as the product evolves.
