What is innovation capability?
Innovation is not the result of some Eureka moment, it requires systematic and organized effort.
This requires an organization to build culture, processes, methods and tools, in addition to developing skills and competencies.
The combination of competencies, culture and processes builds innovation capabilities within the organization.
Organizations need to innovate not once, but repeatedly and with consistency. They don’t require just a few innovators, they need everyone to contribute to innovation. This requires not just individual skills and knowledge, but organization-wide capabilities.
