New in Joyce Wycoff's Heads Up! on Organizational Innovation Weblog is an article authored by Andrew Papageorge on Building a System of Innovation. He contends that many business leaders say innovation is important to them, but surprisingly few organizations have a systematic approach to innovation. He suggests that we view our organizations as living systems, organisms that must be nurtured and grown -- rather than machines that need to be controlled or repaired:
"Creating an innovation system requires organizations to change the way they think about creativity and innovation -- not only do they want to stimulate people to accept innovation but they also need to create an environment where everyone participates in it."
Please visit the Heads Up! blog for more details on Papageorge's recommendations. His GoInnovate! website also contains some fascinating resources, including an extensive list of articles on innovation. |
