Blogging Innovation: Innovation is Interrelated and Interdependent

One of the most illuminating comments I heard recently in a training program we offered was one participant’s realization that innovation, especially bringing a new idea to fruition, might require more than just product innovation. It may involve innovating the way the firm thinks, the way it works, how it manages and how it performs. In other words, when you are just starting out in an innovation effort, you may have to innovate and invent new methods, new processes and new ways of thinking to bring a new product to life.
