A lot can happen to an innovation program in three years. Some companies see their programs gain momentum and excel in that time. Other companies experience something different.

One factor I've been considering for some time has to do with the power of a corporate bureaucracy to create or block change. On one hand, bureaucracies are good, in that they codify practices, principles and processes and allow people to get more done quickly as a unit than they might get done alone. Bureaucracies were created to allow people to scale concepts, inventions, products and ideas.

Innovation strategy is often about direction and momentum. But in order to have either, you need at least a small amount of mass to get started. And as we all know, whether it’s a boulder or a bureaucracy, inertia keeps objects at rest from moving. So how do you get up some speed? Try these methods. Focus on small innovations. Big innovations often grow not out of big ideas, but a thousand little ones that come together at the just the right moment.

The Customer Journey Everyone is on a journey. Some quite consciously, others perhaps unknowingly, but they still are moving, evolving, and hopefully growing. Businesses are inevitably a part of the journey. Through their products and services, they influence the experience. Their influence might be, quite frankly for better or for worse. Or both. All of our individual journeys are made up of numerous sub-journeys.

Documents are the backbone of enterprise operations, but they are also a common source of inefficiency. From buried insights to manual handoffs, document-based workflows can quietly stall decision-making and drain resources. For large, complex organizations, legacy systems and siloed processes create friction that AI is uniquely positioned to resolve.

By Chris Galy, HR Executive Advisor, Moves the Needle Every organization's "greatest asset" is also its most underutilized. Of course, I am referring to the people. The very phrase "Our People Are Our Greatest Asset" rolls off the tongues of CEOs and top leaders so easily that it has become cliche.

If your job is to get your company, team, or community to innovate, you know how organizational forces can make it hard to even try something new. Visualizing the resources available is an effective first step in overcoming some of those organizational forces. Simply being able to see, and show, what you have allows you to make a compelling case for marshalling resources and even spark some initial interactions in that direction.
