When the entire machine does work, it builds ideas, evaluates those ideas and implements the best ideas as a new product, service and operational improvements which translate into increased revenues for your firm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Powered by management<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The machine is powered by management. Just as the most sophisticated machine will not run without a power source, likewise your corporate innovation strategy will go nowhere without top management taking the lead.<\/p>\n<p>Management&#8217;s main task is to create within the organisation a culture of innovation which will empower workers to think creatively, collaborate on ideas and contribute their ideas to the company. This is not an easy task but done well it will make the construction of the remainder of the machine a relatively easy job.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"quote-light\"><p>\n  Read on at <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20070808035610\/http:\/\/www.jpb.com\/innovation\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.jpb.com\/innovation\/index.php<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An innovation machine?
