Reinforcing the right behaviour in leadership is equally important with innovation. Organizations with senior leadership who focus on short-term, bottom-line oriented thinking create pressures on management and staff that diminish creativity and sustain the status quo. This constant examination of quarter by quarter results leaves little time for innovation. Therefore, existing products and services are sustained with little change or improvement.
Organizations that have a commitment to innovation create a culture that measures management's performance on the basis of their ability to create new value-added products, services and ideas. As well, the extent to which they do this with staff rather than independent of their staff, demonstrates a clearer understanding of the use of an innovation process versus management directive.
Business Improvement Architects can guide you towards a Total Performance Management System™ that recognizes and rewards innovation. This will help you to embed new behaviours of creative thinking and innovation into your organization's culture.
