Learning networks: Embedding supporting structures and systems in the enterprise that stimulate risk taking, smart failures, continuous learning and improvement

External orientation: Being externally orientated as main source for new ideas and best hunting ground for future opportunities. E.g., participating in real customer dialogues and venturing with like-minded partners

Top talent: Ensuring that the enterprise builds, attracts and protects “innovation super stars” that will take the risks, and “break the eggs” to innovate

Big vision: Having a clear vision for the “next big thing” leveraging innovation plays such as technology, consumer insight and/or business model disruption
