executives who tell me that they want more innovation sometimes ask, as their first question, "Who else is doing it?" Or they say, "We want more innovation; we just don't want to be the first."
With a small-wins strategy of rapid tests and trial-and-error improvisation, the big mistakes are generally not errors of commission — that is, big losses from taking action; they are errors of omission — the failure to do anything.
People already in the organization are often the most under-utilized asset...Just be open to ideas from unusual sources and try more things.
