When it comes to song innovation, I find it difficult for a moment to be logical and smell the roses. When I meet a corporate innovation group station that revels in control to bring one or two products to market, I’m afraid they may be about to get distracted by their wise song. The question that this constantly turns me around is whether you can also repeat this wise song in a similar organization in a new project.
Business innovation is hard to do. Success comes from control of political landmines and corporate bureaucracy. So, when the group play station after all succeeds, they deserve to be congratulated and celebrated. But in this wise song there is a trap and some ignored questions. Do the ad hoc wise forges of these innovation group stations directly contribute to the evolution of their corporate culture? Is innovation now a reproducible process? If we celebrate his wise song now, do we claim victory too soon?
Earning early
I’m a big advocate for intra-entrepreneurshipers who create credibility about an apple before looking for anything else in apple culture. The most productive way to gain credibility is for innovators to make paintings with leaders and corporations that adopt early in the compared apple. Their goal is to help those leaders succeed in their innovation projects and turn their combined apple into the burden that is also created through lean innovation methods.
For this to succeed, his paintings with the first adopters will have to provide some success. With these initial gains, you have the credibility to influence leaders and reposition the way they manage innovation. Then, once you’ve won early, you’ll prefer to celebrate as crazy and tell your successes to all users who can pay them directly in the company.
The challenge is never to be distracted through this early and wise song. Now you can be a native hero in your company. Leaders will now be asked to make presentations to leaders about their wise song and the sessions they have learned. You can be invited to lunches, be judged in hackathons and write articles on the company blog. At the end of your wise song, you will also attract the attention of the click and the media.
In the glare of the flattery of his new fans, it is also undeniable that he thinks he did it. Before that time, you were an out fore of innovation: no one wanted to be applicable with you. Now we know your name! This is the moment I walk in with a gigantic rainy blanket. It is a problematic conversation, however, I have to abstain from the group play station that have not yet been successful. You’ve won more than one limited victory, but there’s still a long way to go.
Declaring victory too soon
I don’t know who you are in the organization. If you want to receive a reminder, here’s a conceptual experiment you can run. Think about your innovation team. If they looked for him, would it be difficult for the leader to disband this team? Would it be as complicated as getting rid of a key service like finance? Or would it be as undeniable as getting rid of a team of outdoor consultants?
These are questions I have asked several times in my branch stores and get similar results. More than 60% of group innovation stations are as undeniable as external consultants. That’s why an early victory is never a great victory. You’ve won only 1 assignment battle, but the cultural war has never been won yet. In fact, his first victory can rightly be seen as another innovation in a unique task chain. It’s not much more than what was going on in your business before you started.
In fact, all the flattery you get lately just puts a bigger bubble on the back of your detractors. If you think your innovation paintings used to be a concept like a nuisance, now that you’re successful, you’re a concept as a real threat. Therefore, humility and concentration are more necessary than ever. He may have convinced more than other Americans about his cause, but there is still a long way to go.
Keeping change
The explanation for why we motivate you to shape the history of your first victories is that you gain credibility with your company. But you don’t do it to be famous. It does so in some way that may be able to influence leaders to drive greater cultural change. Its objective is to make innovation a reproducible procedure in the company; and make the entrepreneur a valid component of your company’s structures and procedures.
You’ll use your first hits to make it less difficult for others to innovate in the future. Therefore, it will not stagnate in the first victory and will specialize in lasting change. Use your new credibility to gain support control, organizational design of your company and implement innovation practices of global elegance.
