March 12, 2013


Last month Spring2 Innovation was quoted in an HR Reporter, in an article titled ‘9 in 10 execs say innovation is a top priority: Survey’.

Some of the highlights that Spring2 Innovation addressed were:

  • What does innovation mean to the organization?
  • Aligning innovation with business mission, vision and goals
  • Innovation and innovation as a priority comes from the top down
  • Are there collaboration tools in place to mine collective intelligence (internally and externally)?
  • Performance metrics in place around innovation

 

This touches the surface of what organizations need to think about when looking to innovate. The key is to ensure the organization as a whole understands what innovation means to them and that they are supported by top management.
