Stop Innovating
Innovation Excellence: I’m serious. Stop innovating right this second. Most of what passes for innovation these days is like teaching a pig to sing – it doesn’t work, and it annoys the pig. A few days ago, I shared a glass of wine with a friend who works at a large company. He said they were all excited about their upcoming innovation workshop. He said the one last year had worked so well, everyone wanted to do it again. But, he said, the problem is that nothing from last year got implemented. Why not just take the winners from last year and try to actually do them, he suggested. He couldn’t get any support for that. But everyone wanted to do the brainstorming exercises again.
