Agile Approach to Innovation & Ideation

As organizations grow to critical mass it is often hard to derive and sustain the types of changes that are necessary to remain competitive. The larger and more structured the organization, typically the less entrepreneurial, nimble and adaptable they are to necessary change. Inability to design, develop and/or launch new initiatives; resistance to new technology, ideas or innovations regardless of the benefit; and radical resistance to reforming past practices no matter how obsolete are clear signs that your organization may be in this state.

Ending One of Leaders’ Most Menacing Recurring Nightmares

10 Aug 2020 Leadership, Strategy, Uncategorized

I know you’ve had the nightmare. You know, that one! You are driving along at some unlawful speed down a dark windy road.
