Culture of innovation

Organizations that want to drive a culture of innovation across the company need to provide

a. the right eco-system for ideas to freely emerge
b. platforms where they can be freely debated
c. an environment where they can be nurtured

companies should be willing to provide their employee’s the necessary resources to experiment, make mistakes and learn from them. Over a period of time a knowledge repository of various experiments performed & the resulting learning’s is built. This will effectively result in a reduction in cycle time from idea conceptualization to realization

Being Innovative should progressively move from being just a buzzword, to learning creative skills, practicing, making it a habit to think of alternatives and outside the boundary across the organization.

Only at this stage we can truly say that the organization has imbibed a culture of innovation
