Corporate Climate for Innovation: leadership, culture, processes

Climate for Innovation

Encouraging intrapreneurial creativity

Management's task is to build an innovation-friendly organization and to generate the right climate that encourages experimentation, creativity, rule-breaking, individualism and creative teamwork.

→ Lead innovation, avoid rigid management that rules out experiment and trial and error.

→ Build a passion-driven, learning, coaching, and intrapreneurial organization.

→ Tear down cultures of bureaucracy, interference, and lack of autonomy. Build a questioning culture and a culture of creative dissatisfaction instead.

→ Make innovation fun

Key Components of the Climate for Innovation

Empower Cross-Functional Innovation Teams

Stimulate Generation of Radical Ideas

Establishing an attitude of relentless growth is what enables an organization and its people to achieve their goals. The spirit of relentless growth keeps fresh ideas flowing and reinvigorates your company.

The great innovators behave illogically. They base their work on uncertainty and ambiguity, experiment, use small teams, and draw their aspiration from forward-looking customers.

Use various organizational mechanisms to get idea generators out of standard routines and connect them to both internal and external sources of knowledge. These mechanisms may include proactive-futuring sessions, corporate Innompic Games, think-tanks, technology forecasting, strategic road-mapping, cross-functional strategic planning teams, corporatewide requests for new project proposals, entrepreneurial simulation games with promising ideas, periodic transfer of personnel from one unit to another, and forums geared to cross-pollination of innovative ideas.
