Your innovation and&nbsp;business&nbsp;strategies&nbsp;are not mutually exclusive but&nbsp;should be integrated as part of core business planning.&nbsp;Tied to&nbsp;individual and company&nbsp;performance, this sets the foundation for long-term innovation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This step&nbsp;is crucial&nbsp;to building&nbsp;a&nbsp;solid&nbsp;innovation framework.&nbsp;A disjointed approach to innovation&nbsp;often&nbsp;results in&nbsp;misguided&nbsp;efforts, conflicting priorities, and turf wars over scarce resources. Senior leadership must set the innovation strategy and&nbsp;rally the organization&nbsp;around&nbsp;it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Analyze and select&nbsp;your innovation&nbsp;types<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on your&nbsp;innovation strategy&nbsp;and&nbsp;the organization\u2019s&nbsp;goals,&nbsp;decide which&nbsp;innovation type&nbsp;or types&nbsp;are best.&nbsp;A mix&nbsp;often&nbsp;works best, according to Doblin:&nbsp;\u201c\u2026all great innovations, throughout history, comprise some combination of these ten basic types.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, your&nbsp;current innovation&nbsp;strategy&nbsp;could&nbsp;be to&nbsp;increase revenues by&nbsp;elevating&nbsp;existing products while improving the customer experience.&nbsp;You could build your&nbsp;innovation framework around some combination of service, customer engagement, brand, product system, and&nbsp;product performance innovation.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Establish or understand&nbsp;your&nbsp;means&nbsp;of innovation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many organizations focus on&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.planview.com\/products-solutions\/solutions\/im-innovation-management\/\" target=\"_blank\">internal knowledge and talent<\/a>&nbsp;for innovation&nbsp;(e.g.,&nbsp;R&amp;D departments, innovation labs, internal start-ups, crowdsourcing).&nbsp;External approaches include customer input, venture capital arms, partnerships, M&amp;A activity, and other practices.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use your&nbsp;innovation strategy&nbsp;to&nbsp;guide you here.&nbsp;Knowing&nbsp;what the business objectives are&nbsp;and the types of innovation required,&nbsp;you can determine if the organization is using the right&nbsp;vehicles&nbsp;or&nbsp;if it&nbsp;needs to&nbsp;introduce&nbsp;new ones. Your&nbsp;innovation framework&nbsp;should then&nbsp;guide and support&nbsp;these&nbsp;methods&nbsp;as well as&nbsp;the people using them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Build&nbsp;your processes&nbsp;and systems<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the methods&nbsp;of choice,&nbsp;you\u2019ll need to set up consistent ways&nbsp;to spur and sustain&nbsp;innovation.&nbsp;For example, your company&nbsp;may&nbsp;prioritize&nbsp;internal innovation. Executives may aspire to&nbsp;\u201copen innovation,\u201d where the&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/smarterwithgartner\/develop-an-open-innovation-framework\/\" target=\"_blank\">entire company&nbsp;is involved<\/a>&nbsp;in coming up with great ideas and solutions to internal issues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can&nbsp;support this by implementing&nbsp;the right&nbsp;systems and processes in your&nbsp;innovation framework. Crowdsourced&nbsp;innovation&nbsp;programs, for instance,&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.planview.com\/products-solutions\/products\/spigit\/\" target=\"_blank\">solicit input from all employees<\/a>&nbsp;regardless of which department poses&nbsp;a need or challenge. These&nbsp;systems&nbsp;can&nbsp;provide consistent&nbsp;processes&nbsp;to submit ideas&nbsp;and&nbsp;qualify them.&nbsp;For more on&nbsp;this topic, read the article \u201c<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/3-ways-to-cultivate-employee-engagement-through-crowdsourcing\/\" target=\"_blank\">3 Ways to Cultivate Employee Engagement Through Crowdsourcing<\/a>.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Develop the&nbsp;capacity&nbsp;for successful delivery<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your innovation framework must also enable&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.planview.com\/products-solutions\/solutions\/work-management\/\" target=\"_blank\">fast&nbsp;execution of the best ideas<\/a>. This includes prioritizing innovation initiatives based on risk, ROI potential, resource constraints, strategic fit, and other criteria.&nbsp;It also includes reducing bureaucracy&nbsp;and speeding decision-making.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The framework must&nbsp;prompt&nbsp;enough governance to keep&nbsp;employees and&nbsp;teams&nbsp;innovating&nbsp;on strategy, but not so much that it stifles&nbsp;them.&nbsp;You can motivate and empower teams by&nbsp;linking&nbsp;the innovation strategy&nbsp;and&nbsp;initiatives&nbsp;to their daily work and&nbsp;facilitating&nbsp;their choice of&nbsp;work methodologies. This&nbsp;enables&nbsp;them to&nbsp;tackle innovation in their own ways&nbsp;and do their best work.
