Innovation is Globally the Most Urgent Boardroom Imperative
|
Every company strives to innovate, but since the beginning of the economic downturn the “Innovation” battle cry has never been louder. Due to low overall growth rates and constantly emerging competitive threats, executives are increasingly counting on breakthrough products and ideas to grow and keep their organizations competitive. Innovation is the only way to drive organizational growth, gain critical marketshare, and insure the sustainability of companies today. "The enterprise that does not innovate ages and declines. And in a period of rapid change such as the present, the decline will be fast." — Peter Drucker |

What People are Saying about the 2012 HCI Human Capital Summit
The Driving Force Behind Innovation is Strong Leadership
These two imperatives go hand in hand, and are absolutely critical in their relationship to each other. Leaders like Steve Jobs believed in risk taking and in keeping and sustaining innovation as the cornerstone of his organizational culture. Leadership must be whole-heartedly dedicated to driving innovation while understanding how to leverage the collective power of creativity and inventiveness within their workforce.
Cost Reductions and Process Reengineering Will Not Grow Your Organization
Innovation is the only game in town that delivers it all — aggressive profits, increased efficiencies and productivity, increased competitiveness and real, sustainable growth. How do you win this all-stakes game? Toss out the old rulebook — it's a new day and the winning plays have nothing to do with the old R&D departments. Innovation is now about culture, and it encompasses the entire workforce. Innovation initiatives are changing the way we work, the way we think, and the urgency towards its immediate implementation has never been more pressing.
Recent Innovation surveys from the Boston Consulting Group and Business Week have found:
- Innovation remains a strategic priority for the vast majority of companies
- Most companies are expected to raise innovation spending
- Simultaneously companies are increasing their emphasis on innovation geared at lowering production costs
- Companies consider a risk-averse corporate culture and lengthy development times to be the two biggest forces holding down their return on innovation spending
- Customer satisfaction and overall revenue growth are the two main gauges that companies use to determine the success of their innovation efforts.
- CEOs are the most visible champions of innovation at most companies, yet few than 30% of respondents identified them as such, reflecting a void in leadership and a real opportunity for many companies.
