You Can Teach Old Dogs New Tricks — With Innovation

Innovation is crucial for businesses to sustain their competitive advantage. To inspire innovation, the entire organization needs to offer ideas to improve products and services, and innovation needs to be one of the core values of the organization. Hiring an innovation expert can help unlock the potential for creativity in all employees, not just the product development team. Providing time and space for innovation is essential, and celebrating, recognizing, and rewarding innovation can change workplace culture for the better. Companies should also fight fear and resistance to innovation by getting out in front of it and restructuring the organization if necessary.
