It involves crafty approaches and is also known as thinking outside the box.

All too often, innovation and governance are viewed as two contradictory concepts. However, governance—i.e., the framework of decision-making within an organization and, specifically in this case, within an innovation team—is, in fact, essential in navigating the new and uncertain spaces that define innovation and, ultimately, transformation. Organizations with a high innovation throughput and output favor clear boundaries, processes, roles, and accountability.

A few episodes ago, I talked about what I considered the world’s greatest invention. And in that episode, I made some disparaging comments about the wheel. I said that the wheel was not the world’s greatest invention ever, how there were a lot of limitations to this idea, and I talked a little bit about the history of it. But I guess some people didn’t like that.

If you work in an organization that wants to establish a sustainable culture of innovation -- you have two basic choices: outside/in or inside/out. Outside/in is the most common approach. It assumes that re-engineering systems or processes is the way to go. You know the drill: do a little Six Sigma, cost cutting, continuous improvement, hire a few consultants to give pep talks and you're off to the races.
