Inspiring Continuous Innovation

by Dan Latendre - 2 weeks ago

Recently, I read a report that stated that “93% of senior business executives cited innovation as a top strategic priority” (Forrester, 2008).

Considering the limited availability of tools that exist to support innovation management, I find this statistic very compelling.

To gain competitive advantage, organizations are striving to capitalize on "continuous innovation" and the tools that support innovation. Many executives that I speak with share the vision that innovation needs to be captured and managed within an organization.

So, execution is key when it comes to inspiring continuous innovation. But how do [...] read more »

By leveraging social software tools, managers can quickly and easily set up and coordinate project teams to meet deadlines, deliver results and develop best practices along the way.

Here are some very basic tips on how to use social software to help you foster high performance teams.

Make your team's expertise highly transparent.

  • Multi-generational (Net Gens, Gen Xers and Baby Boomers)
  • Culturally diverse
  • Mobile
The growing trend is toward a new virtual world of team [...] read more »
