- Synopsis
- The recognition that there are fundamental incompatibilities between ongoing operations and the work of innovation is crucial to the successful implementation of any innovation initiative. While ongoing operations seeks efficiency by making every task and process repeatable and predictable, innovation is by nature nonroutine and uncertain. If you lead an innovation initiative, you must address these incompatibilities by building a team with a custom organizational model and crafting a plan that is only revised through a rigorous learning process. If you succeed, you'll move on and move up. In this chapter, the authors address the challenges that lie ahead for successful innovation leaders, such as choosing the right supervising executive, overseeing a group of related initiatives, and shaping a more innovative company. The chapter concludes with a list of the ten most common myths about innovation. Simply being aware of these myths and countering them at every opportunity will position you to make an important contribution to your company's culture of innovation. This chapter was originally published as the conclusion of "The Other Side of Innovation: Solving the Execution Challenge."
