You Need an ISA Innovation Integration Analysis
Integrating Innovation into Your Company
Let’s assume that a culture of innovation is in place, that your Chief Innovation Officer has a plan and the authority to implement it, and that the senior managers are on-board. Are you done? Far from it. You need an ISA Innovation Integration Analysis to make sure that you won’t fail.
Why Innovation Takes a Back Seat
Because Innovation is usually considered long-term, it often takes a back seat to putting out the daily fires that must be attended to by corporate and divisional management. There is always another fire! Innovation must be so ingrained in management thinking that it is never considered just an option to work on when time is available.
Integrate Innovation with Daily Challenges
Here’s the secret to making an innovation program successful: Don’t just look at it from a long-term perspective – most people can’t deal with that; instead make it a part of day-to-day activities so that it becomes automatic and even helps put out the fires. Your ISA Innovation Integration Analysis will show the way.
Why Idea Management Is Vital
Let’s say that you are a multi-national company whose clear polystyrene cups have suddenly turned cloudy and are being rejected by customers. The usual method is to start at the beginning of the process and go step-by-step to find the problem. In the meantime, cartons of rejects are piling up and production lines are idle. But if you had a third-generation Idea Management system that could be accessed by all employees around the world, you could reach all of them in minutes asking for the solution. Odds are that someone knows what went wrong, and it may well lead to an innovation.
How Innovation Integration Works
That same Idea Management system is the foundation to innovation success. All solutions are driven by ideas, whether for resolving daily challenges or ensuring future revenues. By fully integrating Idea Management into your company, the same system works for both. Your ISA Innovation Integration Analysis will show you exactly how to do it across business units, silos, functions, and teams.
Voice of the Customer
