Aligning on innovation

Innovation is the process of creating something new or optimizing something to meet, exceed and anticipate future user needs in a way that hasn’t been done before.

Common barriers to innovation

Once you’ve identified where you exist on the innovation continuum, you can triage the common innovation barriers and how best to combat them to enable growth.

Most common barriers:

  • Lack of organizational alignment
  • Siloed ideation
  • Decision-making without data and insights
  • Executing an idea without testing it

Breaking through those barriers

  1. Define your innovation charter
  2. Strive for cross-functional, organization-wide innovation teams
  3. Balance innovation efforts across the innovation spectrum
  4. Ensure action after ideation
  5. Make a test and measurement plan

How to get started

The path to innovation doesn’t have to be singular or direct; working collaboratively towards a goal is when true innovation comes to life.

  • Craft an up-front innovation goal tied to your organizational goals
  • Talk to your users frequently and regularly
  • Structure your teams to innovate effectively
  • Focus on outcomes instead of outputs
