Seeking out positive results from an innovation engagement

Collaborative outcomes form through ‘knowing’ the interaction points that are critical for successful innovation:

Knowing………The structure of the marketplace, the competitive landscape and the most desirable market position needs a detailed constructing and mapping out to set your strategic innovation pathway to the future.Knowing………The internal capabilities and competencies and the gap between your present position and your desired one often need a more ‘dynamic’ understanding so as to enable you to focus upon and draw upon the required resources that are appropriate to build that greater innovation’ intensity’ required to deliver that future need.Knowing…….The key trends and the factors that will influence the future need to be understood and assessed to provide you the options you need to enable targeted innovationKnowing…….The portfolio of innovation initiatives, gaining the clear involvement of allies, stakeholders and partners and sharing your strategic vision gives confidence to all in the mutual mission. It begins to put into place the platform for a culture of collaboration.Knowing……Where to place the emphasis for clarity and to make key decisions and the appropriate emphasis provides leadership and promotes a ‘bias for informed action’ for all to become fully engaged. This provides all parties involved an innovation roadmap where open communication dialogue constantly seeks out and responds within a network of collaborators for innovation to thrive.
