Anyone else getting tired of these surveys of CEOs and senior executives say, "Innoation is critical!" and "We don't know how!" and "There are substantial barriers!"
If not, here's another one from Harris Interactive, conducted with Fortune 1000 executives.
Key findings include:
- Almost all execs say that enterprise innovation is criticalf or driving growth, profitability, getting/keeping talent, and brand prestige.
- Most execs say that enterprise innovation is key, but a majority say they only focus on product innovation.
- Almost half say their company has no innovation team/process/system for vetting new ideas
- Only a minority say their company provides innovation team training, process training, or ideation sessions
- CEOs must provide greater leadership, tools, and resource support
- Execs say they must focus more on enterprise innovation
- Barriers to enterprise innovation include: short-term goal-orientation, other priorities, lack of incentives, lack of systems, lack of resources, lack of cultural value for innovation.
What's your take on enterprise innovation and what gets in the way?
