One of the most critical professional
challenges that employees face today is being able to successfully
manage positive change within their organization. Innovation is has
become a watch word, with so many divisions not being able to find
enough valuable ideas and then successfully manage those ideas into a
commercial offering that sometimes companies even respond to customer
tickets and bugs and simply label those results as “innovation.”
However, many organizations are still in an experimental phase and
need help reaching innovation maturity. For those folks that want to
get started, but aren’t sure where to begin we offer these four
tips:
Start small
Many departments and organizations are
intimidated at the prospect of opening up brainstorming. They worry
about the value of ideas and intellectual property .
Build in some room to fail
Not every new project can knock it out of the park. 70% of
startups never get out of their first eighteen months, 68% of IT
projects aren’t delivered.
Generate some early wins
Not every new idea is complex or disruptive. Some changes are easy
to evaluate and easy to implement with
big impacts.
Expand
Once an innovation team has proven even some measurable value, it
is much easier to apply those same processes and goals to other
projects.
