Stealth Innovation Strategy - Hiding Innovative Business Ideas

Stealth innovation is the strategy of developing innovative business ideas in relative quiet without attracting the attention of organizational naysayers or facing resistance. The Innochat participants covered a variety of angles on stealth innovation strategy, often returning to strategic challenges within an organization as a fundamental factor in making it make sense to engage in underground innovation. Sprint has even adopted a sanctioned stealth innovation strategy that involved setting up two independent innovation teams working on the same technology development opportunity. The hour-long #Innochat tweetversation wrapped up by agreeing that stealth innovation is fine as an occasional strategy, but if it's an every time strategy, there are bigger strategic issues to be addressed.
