We need to shift how we think about innovation.

“There was a time when corporations had to be convinced that innovation was important. Today, every corporation has some form of innovation strategy, either outsourced or in-house. However, most innovation leaders find that there is a lack of integration of such projects internally, leading to unsuccessful outcomes. It’s important not just to have the right idea but also to synchronize it with all your stakeholders as it evolves. This cannot be accidental. It must be managed.
