Rebooting Your Innovation Effort

Rebooting an innovation program after a failed attempt can be quite challenging. However, there are some ways to move forward. First, conduct a postmortem to understand what went wrong. Then, identify the positives and learnings from the failed attempt. Next, refresh the team and let them recharge. Create a burning platform by anticipating potential problems and gain support from leaders for a new initiative. Propose a pilot program to test new methods, reduce risks, and resistance to change. Syndicate the support of other departments and emphasize skill-building through competency models. Finally, create lasting support systems to keep the innovation culture and muscle growing.
