Whose responsibility is innovation anyway?

Innovation should be a responsibility shared across the business, from HR to logistics. This is because innovation is no longer a top-down strategic initiative, but rather it spread virally from team to team. It is important to build consensus about what innovation means for your organization by involving the whole business as well as customers and partners. Open innovation incentivizes collaboration and new ways of thinking. It's critical to build trust with partners and trade intellectual property as a currency of collaboration to drive innovation.
