I remember reading Snyder & Duarte’s definition of innovation from their book, Strategic Innovation: Embedding Innovation as a Core Competency in Your Organization: “any product or service that creates unique and compelling solutions valued by our customers, real and sustainable competitive advantages, and extraordinary value for our shareholders” (Snyder & Duarte, 2003). Like organizations, top performing teams must be energized by delivering value to their shareholders, and its been my experience that transformational leadership powers these efforts. Along with the factors that Aaron smith cites in his blog post, I’ve found that it is important to be able to tap into a broad knowledge network – breaking down organizational silos and even going beyond the walls of the organization for advice. Secondly: prototype, prototype, prototype! Get eyes on the design as early in the process as possible as take note of how your story is communicated through-out the organization. You want to make sure that story is that you are creating new things – not just doing the same, old things better.
What ways do you overcome barriers to innovation in your organization?

Ramiro Rodrigues’ post about conflict raises some interesting points concerning contention in projects. Its been my experience that, in the very matrixed organizational structures that PM’s find themselves existing in, it is difficult to find the formal authority and power to exercise management over the various resources involved in completing the work. In my opinion, this issue is illustrative of the necessity of a strong Project Charter that defines authority in a project. What other ways can a PM authority be outlined in a project?

Conflict is inherent to human nature—and that’s a good thing! Conflicts are the fuel that boosts our capacity to think, question and communicate. That said, it is worthwhile to analyze the way conflicts may influence the corporate environment and, more specifically…
