Innovation activities can’t be successful with top-down or bottom-up only approach. Both approaches need its own mind set and responsibilities. To keep the balance between, gives much better results. By getting support from management without too much involvement, show respect and give value to the efforts of employees is the most precious support for successful innovation. Innovation gap analysis and innovation strategy is defined by upper management. However execution and idea creation has to be led by employees. Success depends on how democratic innovation you have in your company. To democratize innovation and keep it simple as a regular activity in every day’s life of employees is the secret sauce.
Employees must be encouraged to create their ideas as concepts and try to evaluate the results whether the idea is successful or smart fail. Importance is to find cheaper and easy ways to test the ideas as quick as possible.
Employees may not challenge the status quo by themselves. At least most of them will be losing the energy and spark thanks to toxic people and/or processes in the workplace. If they loose belief to stakeholders, they will stop creating ideas and you loose them very quickly. A few bad experience is spread around very quickly and to revert back the damage will require huge effort.
You need some high energetic people and mentors to help your innovators in the company. To leave them alone will give feeling “worthless” or “unnecessary activities” they are dealing with.
Innovation activities are not executed only for showcase. Since they are out of your operating principles, it does not mean worthless. Distruptive innovation come from unexpected areas. Don’t loose your innovators because of wrong innovation approach.
Be honest: Are you trying to meet your scorecard metric or create value from innovation?
If the answer is “value creation”, the Alchemist is in your service to WORK TOGETHER…
