Kissing Frogs and Picking Horses

When it comes to building a culture for innovation, there are different approaches to choose from. One is the "kissing frogs" approach, where many ideas or concepts are explored, and failure is seen as a learning opportunity. However, this approach may not work in larger, established businesses due to the constraints and the requirement for project justification. The other approach is "picking horses," where only the ideas with a track record or champions are selected, limiting the funnel of new ideas and the people who can work on them. A balance of both approaches is needed to encourage innovation effectively.
