Innovation is the New Strategy
…Why?• Knowledge is dispersed across organizations
and geographies
• New opportunities come from sharing and collaboration, not ownership of assets
• This means that innovation is a bottom-up process
• The role of leaders is to facilitate and support (not command and control)
ICA-5
Dual challenges of leading/influencing innovation
1. Create an innovation process� to support idea generation, selection,
development and commercialization
2. Cultivate an innovation ecosystem� to ensure a continuous flow of new ideas
and an environment where the innovation process will thrive
