Organizational Innovation Report: Implementing innovation in organizations

For implementing innovation in the organization, individuals are encouraged by top managers to think independently and creatively, and share their personal knowledge with others. Organizational innovation requires a culture of innovation that seeks and supports new ideas and new ways of “doing business” while putting efforts on optimal execution. In this review we collect insights from academic research, leading analysts and consultancies and observe related case studies, to come up with best practices for the implementation of innovation in organizations. We review models for innovation leadership, culture, innovation strategy and goals; discuss mechanisms for learning and knowledge sharing, and review the required set of incentives and rewards. Focusing on Innovation challenges we collect insights and best practices regarding strategy alignment, management support, idea generation and commercialization, speed, lean processes, innovation events and sharing platforms as well as innovation metrics. In search for optimal innovation implementation methods, we review studies on high performing companies and present case studies on how innovative companies implement innovation in their organization.
