My starting point was the endless journey of innovation. We seem to be confronted with an endless journey when it comes to innovation. Can we change how we approach innovation for finding and extracting growth out of the existing, not out of the pursuit, always of something new? MORE
An innovation value proposition (IVP) is not the easiest place to go. It must build meaning and purpose and provide that unique identity that enables innovation to flow. That now seems like ages ago, and a lot has changed in how we manage innovation since then. MORE
For me, there is never enough talked about innovation risk. Innovation is held back so often because the quantification of risk cannot fit into an organization’s current assessment and measurements of risk. Innovation risk leaves many executives very uncomfortable. MORE
There is a growing need for having some dynamic tensions within the organization’s innovation system; this helps generate better conditions for innovators to thrive. Set this up, and you have the potential to create those dynamics out of your innovation activity. MORE
