Culture for innovation

Walk the talk of “innovation as a core value” by leveraging the key factors that foster a culture for innovation.

When it comes to innovation, “culture” is different from “climate.” Both are important for empowering individuals and teams, while building an organization that cultivates sustainable, meaningful innovation.

A “climate” for innovation is the set of values and attitudes embodied by group members and influenced by its leaders. Typically, the climate changes when there is a leadership change, no matter how large or small the group. A “culture” for innovation is the set of norms and values embedded in an organization’s systems, policies and practices… requiring a concerted effort by many sponsors to effect a change.

Our methodology for strengthening the culture for innovation is based on a pioneering study of entrepreneurial acquisitions that revealed 16 factors for how to sponsor innovation in large organizations. These 16 factors relate directly to the 4 stages of our innovation process, making this methodology eminently practical in guiding a strategy for strengthening how the culture can enhance innovation at all levels.
