What's Your Innovation Quotient? Survey of People-Practices in Innovation™: Knowing Where to Begin © Innovation. Network, 2004 – 2010 Every organization is doing innovation … at some level of expertise. If you want to improve your innovation capabilities, you need to know where to focus your efforts. THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ORGANIZATIONAL INNOVATION

Ratings: 1 never/probably not; 2 sometimes/possibly 3. generally/maybe 4. usually/probably 5. always/definitely! 1. _____ Does at least 25% of your revenue come from products and services developed in the past 5 years? 2. _____ Do you consistently outperform your competition in things like customer service, quality, time to market, ROI, and profitability? 3. _____ Do you routinely solicit, listen to, and act on suggestions from people from every level and function of your organization?

If you don’t take immediate action, the world may be passing you by! 15 -29 - You need an information boost! Organize some informal groups & start talking about innovation. Look at the questions that you rated the lowest & see if others agree with your assessment. 30 -44 - You are on the right track! But you need to open your lines of communication! Ask all people in your organization what would make their work life better. What tools do they need? What information do they need? Do they understand their work processes & how they fit into the whole? 45 -50 - Congratulations! Somehow you have managed to do what everyone else is talking about doing.

Innovation. DNA™ Operational Elements of the Innovation DNA How Do These Principles Show Up In Real Life? Here Are Brief Descriptions of the Model’s Concepts: THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ORGANIZATIONAL INNOVATION
CHALLENGE Innovation Means Doing Things Differently, Exploring New Territory, Taking Risks (Going Out On A Limb!) There Is Nothing That Pulls Innovation As Much As A Challenge That Captures the Imagination. It Happens In Organizations Big and Small Every Time People Are Excited By the Possibilities of Creating Better Products and Services and To Make A Difference In the World. THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ORGANIZATIONAL INNOVATION
CUSTOMER FOCUS All innovation should be focused on creating value for the customer, internal & external. Interaction with customers and understanding of their needs are the best stimulators of new possibilities and the motivation for implementing them. A constant stream of ideas and innovation is created when everyone in an organization can identify with their customer(s). When the customer is a real presence to people, they get excited about finding new ways to add value Listening to customers is a priority here! THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ORGANIZATIONAL INNOVATION
CREATIVITY Everything starts from an idea Great ideas = generating a lot of possibilities. Leadership to foster the climate that encourages “blue sky” thinking and offers direction and stimuli to spur creativity. Individuals must embrace challenges & push the boundaries of their thinking. If you want ideas you have to create incentives that attracts them. A core value is Curiosity: “There's Got to Be a Better Way. ” THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ORGANIZATIONAL INNOVATION
COMMUNICATION Open Communication of Information, Ideas and Feelings Both Infrastructure and Advocacy Must Exist To Promote the Free Flow of Information. Leadership Must Model the Practices and Behaviors of Innovation Organizations That Restrict Communication and Fail To “Think Together” Risk Disaster. Sharing Information, Ideas, Experiences and Learning Is the Lifeblood of Innovation. THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ORGANIZATIONAL INNOVATION
COLLABORATION Innovation Is Group Process. It Requires Interaction, Information And The Power Of Teams. Multi-level And Cross Functional Project: --- Teams Bring Diversity: --- The Broadest Perspectives, --- The Most Ideas & ---The Greatest Abilities To Implement To Any Innovation Effort. Innovation Is A Team Sport. It Takes The Collaboration Of Lots Of People To Successfully Implement An Idea. THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ORGANIZATIONAL INNOVATION
COMPLETION Moving New Ideas Forward Into Reality Requires The Exploration Or Experimentation With A Variety Of Alternatives To Yield Superior Results. Innovations Require Projects That Have Defined Processes And Strong Implementation Skills: … Decision-making, … Delegating, … Scheduling, … Monitoring, And … Feedback. When Projects Are Completed, They Should Be Celebrated. Innovative Organizations Take New Products To Market Quickly! THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ORGANIZATIONAL INNOVATION
CONTEMPLATION Making objective assessments of outcomes and costs of new projects is essential. Gleaning the lessons learned from both fruitful and failed projects adds muscle to the cycle of success. When adopted in a disciplined approach, contemplation adds invaluably to organizational wisdom. Innovative organizations develop ways to collect and share the lessons to create "wisdom systems". Create “learning histories” to capture lessons learned on new product development. THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ORGANIZATIONAL INNOVATION
CULTURE Culture is the "playing field" for all innovation projects and activities. The organization must nurture the seeds of ideas and solutions to grow a culture that provides the climate for innovation to occur. The Culture for Innovation requires: trust and respect, the willingness to take risks, the freedom to make choices, a continuous scanning for new trends, a commitment to systematically look for new ways to do things, and an equitable sharing of risks and rewards. THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ORGANIZATIONAL INNOVATION
So, What Are the Roles of Best Practices and Innovation In an Organization? In Order To Be Effective and To Survive, Your Organization Must Acquire Both Best Practices and Innovations. Both Are Achievable, But Require Systematic Effort. Good Luck!! THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ORGANIZATIONAL INNOVATION
