Innovation and Workforce Engagement in a High-Velocity World
Posted by steven_spear | Under Business Strategy, Innovation, high velocity organizations, leadership and innovation, organizational learning, process excellence Monday Nov 9, 2009Firms have to accelerate their speed of innovation to keep ahead of rivals, particularly as globalization whittles down in number and size the places free from intense rivalry. Innovation increasingly has to be a ‘team sport,’ engaging the brains of many, as the complexity and sophistication of systems increase beyond what small groups can manage on their own.
The result? Firms have to develop broad based, deep rooted innovative capacity at all levels and across all disciplines. My new article, “Innovation and Workforce Engagement in a High-Velocity World,” explores how.
I hope it, and the examples in my book, prove helpful in achieving success.
Best wishes,
Steve Spear
