Embracing a Continuous Improvement Practice for Effective Ideation

A well-defined practice is key to embracing continuous improvement. However, without a clear path to follow, individuals may struggle to navigate the journey. One approach suggested by Alan Robinson is the idea-driven organization, where small teams convene around an idea board on a regular basis. The virtual equivalent of the idea board can be used for teams that work remotely. The approach allows for cross-pollination across teams and supports long-tail innovation. It also enables variations of the approach to be applied to different situations within a well-defined framework.
