Three Phases of Embedding Innovation

Innovation requires a culture of experimentation and risk-taking, but fear of failure often sabotages the process. This article highlights the three stages of embedding innovation into an organization: the learning phase, immersion phase, and embedment phase. During the learning phase, leaders should encourage experimentation and exploration to see which methods work best for the organization. In the immersion phase, innovation practices are set, and the organization launches new innovations. Finally, in the embedment phase, innovation becomes an integral part of every employee's job.
