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?

One misconception many new project managers bring to their role is a belief (or is it a hope?) that a particular methodology, the latest tool or a popular template will bring them success in their work.

Risk is everywhere. Crossing the street. Changing lanes. Joining a pickup basketball game. Digging in the yard. Some risk we take for granted—most drivers observe the red light, so we go ahead and cross the street; after all, we want to get to the other side.
