Achieving a sense of renewal to your innovation activities.
Innovating for the future lies with a fresh approach and for that, we need to constantly have this sense of renewal within ourselves.
There is a time when your innovation efforts may need a serious renewal and for many this might be now. Knowing when to invest in an innovation renewal and organizing for it is like any other organizational activity.
Those that are honest enough to admit that what they have achieved to-date in innovation activity is just not going to ‘cut it’ for the future will be making a very ‘tough’ call but it might be one of the best ones you are about to make.
I think we all need to think of a renewal of innovation as essential in our thinking as over time many things have changed and moved on.
We need not just to adjust in our objectives but more importantly to adapt and acknowledge that our innovation understanding has greatly improved, so we need to reflect this in our innovation structures, processes and systems.
Challenge the ‘legacy’ within.
