3 Dimensions of Innovation: the 23 Capabilities your company needs to succeed

Innovation is not just a simple process that can be improved but requires a company to have the foundational elements for innovation to be possible. These foundational elements consist of Enablement (creativity and culture), Delivery (a team of people for developing customer-facing innovation), Management (a flexible approach to management and governance), and Leadership (guidance and support). Nick Skillicorn, innovation expert, outlines 23 core capabilities grouped into three dimensions and an enabler that are essential for innovation. The three dimensions include Delivering Innovation, Managing Innovation, and Leading Innovation, while the enabler is made up of Understanding and Managing Creativity, Psychological Safety and Risk Perception, Authority, Action based on Insights, and Continuous Learning, Development, and Change.
